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

'Cause 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, till our kitchen stood among us

There you told me and we kissed and I cried

And 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

'Cause we all catch the same disease, it kills us all eventually

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

'Cause it goes on, it goes on, yeah, it goes on, yeah it goes on

It goes on, it goes on
