lyrics

Seven prayers, a week melts away
Too little time to find you out
Too little time to realize

A wasted basket of temporary fruit
He wills himself to it
His cause for even asking why
Or telling you the truth
“It happens every now and again”
He might say
Travel a distance without knowing why
Suffer a circle of vague emotions
And by far I’m without you tonight

I find it so easy to shut my eyes
(I will myself to it)
Listen for sounds that might make me
Feel much better
“It happens every now and again”
I would say to you
Seven prayers, a week melts away
Too little time we spend on love
And by far I’m without you tonight
