Run

It was a year to the day that you took her breath away Left you cold, left you shaking, left me humble, unrelating You were feathered to the weather but the cold crept in no matter Now it wears you like a chain around its long and stony neck And in that locket, I forgot it, like a tissue in my pocket You were burning, you were beating, you were smiling up at me 'Cos you gave me your kingdom and I gave you no receipt You in all your wisdom, me in my infinite defeat And you whispered it goes on, it goes on, it goes on, it goes on And that year to the day when some new life came your way Put some breath into your lungs, put a skip into your step And that news of a child, it left you free, left you wild And you called me just to tell me that you missed me la da da But you were waiting for a promise, 'til our kitchen stood among us There you told me and we kissed and I cried It goes on, it goes on, it goes on, it goes on There is a hand that unlocks us and another one that knocks us Both are whispering their secrets that we're not willing to hear 'Cos we all catch the same disease, it kills us all eventually But no one sees it, no one hears it, it's like pointing at the breeze So take me in all my fervour, we can't complicate this further Let life give life and all your love, bring me to my knees 'Cos it goes on, it goes on, it goes on, it goes on
