In Mourning - For You To Know lyrics

The pen scratches vellum paper and the words flow Ink stained fingers dreaming up this letter to you Your love lingers in the shades of a grey morning Sentence escapes in the mist The pictures of home swallowed by a narrow margin Delusions creeping upon me, I'm shaded The subtlety of time makes everything clearer Clawing to my chains, squirming with my agony Scared of never seeing you again But I never knew you anyway It could have been so different It just never happened that way Have I told you about the magpie, my only friend Have you heard about the tears and the nights in the rain And I want you to know, I want you by my side I could have helped you find a way back into this world If I ever face this world, we'll be together This is for you to know. This is for you to feel. The subtlety of time makes everything clearer Clawing to my chains, squirming with my agony Scared of never seeing you again But I never knew you anyway It could have been so different It just never happened that way The sun is setting, leaving me no sanctuary And I can't stand another night like this Tomorrow I will follow my friend among the trees My final letter, I will write it down for you Keep it with your poems because they were all true Just so you know, you didn't get here in time Have I told you about the magpie, my only friend Have you heard about the tears and the nights in the rain And I want you to know, I want you by my side I could have helped you find a way back into this world If I ever face this world, we'll be together This is for you to know. This is for you to feel.
