We shared the grief in our possession
There was no shelter for this love
From the outside from the ravages
From the perils yet to come
The picture here was incomplete
Was something more I couldn't leave
Those fragments on the floor and what they'd mean
They revealed like a trumpet sounding
Was a piece of some grander plan?
That I struggled with and still can't understand it
As I watched you right there slippin' through my hands
As I watched you right there slippin' through my hands
Disenchantment that eclipsed the light
Isolation it would bring
Had the instinct just to hide away
From everyone and everything
The picture here was incomplete
Was something more I didn't see
Just sittin' on the floor the missing scenes
They revealed like a trumpet sounding
Was a piece of some grander plan?
That I struggled with but still can't understand it
As I watched you right there slippin' through my hands
As I watched you right there slippin' through my hands
And with that veil finally discarded
I saw a pale diminished world that was my life
That I had left forever darkened
Charred and hollow now not much survived
But revealed like a trumpet sounding
Was a piece of some grander plan?
That I struggled with but still can't understand it
As I watched you right there slippin' through my hands
As I watched you right there slippin' through my hands
Right through my hands
Right through my hands
Right through my hands
Right through my hands
Right through my hands
