It was a hot and sultry afternoon   Sometime at the end of June   We had collapsed ourselves in shade somewhere   To conclude our love affair   But it was too damn hot to speak that much   It felt easier to touch   So we forgot to fall apart that day   And the next day      It was a cold and endless sky above   When he decided he was through with love   The leaves were piles of skeletons   And he was only skin and bones   And then he went to the bridge so he could fall   And drop down far away from it all   But the water looked so black and deep   That he closed his eyes and he went to sleep   Til the next day      The snow fell hard from five to five   You had to drink to stay alive   But you were hoping it would kill you too   At least you'd have something changing you   Cause you were cold as the ice at your front door   You raised a trembling glass and shouted, "Fuck the war!"   And then you fell into oblivion   Lying on your bed with your shoes on   Til the next day      Baby close your eyes until tomorrow   It could bring joy it could bring sorrow   But it will come sure as light   Try not to dream a dream tonight   Imagine that you're standing here   And suddenly you disappear   A thread cut with a carving knife   That is what they call our life      Baby close your eyes until tomorrow   It could bring joy it could bring sorrow   But it will come sure as light   Try not to dream a dream tonight   Imagine that you're standing here   And suddenly you disappear   A thread cut with a carving knife   That is what they call our life
