Sometimes I feel like I never knew you   Sometimes I feel you in my blood   Sometimes I get home sick and weary   ‘Cause I don’t know where you are      Sometimes I see the world as a diamond   Sometimes a bucket full of shit   Sometimes I place us both above it   Sometimes I feel we drown in it      And ever since you left the earthly life    I keep my eyes open for signs   to see if you ended up in a good place   And ever since you left the earthly life   I keep your picture on the piano   My dreams are always open for you, so come on over!      Seconds come, and seconds leave   Turning into minutes, days and weeks   The summernight embraces me   I’m still standing, I’m still right here      You know your brother talked about you   He said he knew you wanted this   I only met him once or twice   He seemed nice, but somewhat distorted      And your husband sings about you   In alcoholic melodies   He comes around here now and then   But I’ve slipped away from him      And ever since you left the earthly life    There’s not much to spin the world around   I looked and I found nothing’s what it seems   It seems they’re building Babylon towers   Any direction that I turn   I look and I see the world it scares me      Was it like this for you? (I'll keep the secret a secret)   Did you scream until your face turned blue? (Nothing will reach you)   After all you think you got away with it    Second by second, minute by minute   Your’e fading, your’e fading, your’e fading   and it’s such a shame   (Seconds come, and seconds leave   all turning into minutes, days and weeks   I've looked and I found I can’t find nothing)      And ever since you cut the world in two   One half with, and one without you   Without you I don’t know what to do   But I hang on, hang on, hang on
