The Pain Is Gone

I'll take a photograph

Whatever makes you laugh

But come on step out of the rain.

You'd hate to catch your death

All the life that you got left

Lit up like a candle on your face.

There are words that are fading

And I'm trying hard to say 'em before

They fall into the fog.

But every single day

Once or twice an hour

The shadow falls away and I see you walking in a straight line.

And the pain is gone the pain is gone.

I recognize it but it's unfamiliar.

Now the pain is gone the pain is gone.

I recognize it but it's unfamiliar.

Yes there's a place

Only you and I go.

And there are things about me

Only you will ever know.

I didn't mean to push you

Didn't mean to laugh when you fell

I didn't mean to shout when you got hurt.

I didn't mean to argue

Didn't mean to criticize you

And I'm sorry I said I didn't like your skirt.

There are demons that are screaming

And I'm trying not to feed 'em as I

Carry water for us through the dirt.

But I always need you here

I always need you near me

I don't know what I'd do if I was walking here without you.

And the pain is gone, the pain is gone.

I recognize it but it's unfamiliar.

Now the pain is gone, the pain is gone.

I recognize it but it's unfamiliar.

Yes there's a place

Only you and I go.

And there are things about me

Only you will ever know.

And this sweet dream will end

And I will wake from this life

Again and again and again
