Lyrics
Over there the row of trees
Is merging in with the evening
And then blackness consumes the forest
Within there lies a glade
And a blackened impression of the love that we made
When I was young I used to watch TV
Now people love to tell me it was all fantasy
But they made it seem so real
They made it seem so possible
Don't ask me to forget them because I won't
I'll visit the glade and I'll watch TV
It's a steady pulse that leaves me just with certainty
And it makes me so much braver
I can turn to the world and say
I'm strong enough to face the oncoming day
Sitting alone with light in my darkened room
Trying to explain myself in a song for you
When a weird feeling shakes from a head outside
Slips from ceiling to behind that piano to hide
Then extinguishes itself on the carpet
He died
The stars mingle inseparably
With the lights of houses that I see
The shadows of the leaves on the walls shiver
In vivid twists of frayed grey
From a street out of sight as time nearly expired
To make way for the oncoming day
No one
No one
No one can take your memory away from me
Some days
I say
Will I give in to the oncoming day
The oncoming day
I'm plagued with words to tell you
I find nothing fun enough to say
Nothing with anything
Nothing with nothing
Nothing left in this lump of grey
That even vaguely says "I love you"
In a way that pleases me
So I'll let the oncoming day say it for me
And in the days that followed
In the back of my mind
The black sky sunk on distant countries
No one
No one
No one can take your memory away from me
No way
No way
Will I give in to the oncoming day
The oncoming day
