One day—quite suddenly— you won’t hear from me no more

On that day—rather hurriedly—you’ll hurt at the core

But I won’t know, baby, I won’t know

I left so that I could grow

Lord knows I waited for you.

Hearsay, daring heart

The words that to the wind I pray

This will be only the start.

This day—strangely ephemeral—I have decided to go

Today—purposely all in all—it is time to show

Yet you don’t know, darling, you’ll never know

That mourning to the chest is a blow

The universe knows this to be true

Because the lord sure knows that I waited for you.
