Mourning's Not Enough

You came along with your shades of glamour

And your photographs of downtown days

And you came to discover like no other

That the shades never kept you sane

And gravity is tough, it pulls on both of us

But you always can recover

‘Cos the mourning ain’t enough

You’re held back under the shallows

Yeah the mourning’s not enough, to cast away these sorrows

I fell in love with your candles in the dark

But oh you suffered, when you came and you changed

You’re held back and destroyed

By the things that are null and void, and you felt cornered

And then the days when we went under

It turns the seasons into dust, and the morning into dusk

Saving everything because the mourning ain’t enough

To shake away these black and blues

Yeah, the mourning’s not enough

To call the shadows back to you

Save yourself and climb down from your cross

Taking time takes time

And the world will stay insane, and life is heaven’s loss

‘Cos the mourning ain’t enough

Throw down your grievances, don’t falter

At the edge of your fallen world

Blow out the candles by the altar

Your heart’s been a longtime down

Until you lift the veil and open up the doors

Can’t let your life back in

So let your life back in

Believing in the saints

And I can’t stop you leaving

Watch you waste away your days

The mourning ain’t enough

To shake away these black and blues

Yeah, the mourning’s not enough

To stop them calling back to you

‘Cos the mourning’s not enough
