lyrics

I look up from my Iris Murdoch novel into the fire-lit gloom
The photographs on the piano, the darkness of the room
The whalebone on the mantelpiece that we found back in 1985
On a grey beach in late December, when the world belonged to me and you
I take stock of all we’ve gathered
Each piece history while my heart slows down
All is said and all is done, and I am weary to the bone, so the suns sets on a long, long life
The rain outside howls around the house you built with your own hands
At the core of the world, the soothing sound of firewood, the Händel scores I still can’t play
The painting gear you’ve never used, a cooking book that’s still unopened,
Along with dramas from ancient Greece. Stephen’s paintings on our walls
Vanitas of aspirations come undone
All is said and all is done, and I am weary to the bone, so the suns sets on a long, long life
Imagine, if you will, a horror movie of the truly terrifying sort. Something evil is about to happen, and eventually it does. But your fear does not subside, for you're not even half-way through the movie, and each new wave of sheer panic is going to be worse. Now stretch this movie over months and years.
Time is not a healer; it grates the core of your soul down to a hollow depression that darkens, deepens you forever.
All is said and all is done, and I am weary to the bone, and the suns sets on a long, long life
All is said and all is done, and I am weary to the bone, and the suns sets on a long, long life
