It's all over but the shouting It's all done but the deed It's all healed but the hurting It's all taken but the heed It's all over but the shouting It's all gone but the need She let me be all alone and discarded An old machine choking out in the weeds Like a rusty watercan in the garden That's all about that's left of me It's all over but the shouting It's all done but the deed It's all healed but the hurting It's all gone but the need There's a voice in my head that's a-calling Time moves at a puzzling speed If I don't get some quiet, if I don't get it right Then I might start to wonder why I put up a fight It's all over but the shouting It's all done but the deed It's all healed but the hurting It's all gone but the need There's a song in my head this morning There's a chance it'll be about you If I wait, I'll forget or if I overcommit There's a fighting good chance it'll never get writ It's all over but the shouting It's all done but the deed It's all healed but the hurting It's all gone but the need
