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's 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 sustaining but delusion death insanity
When 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 at night in my dark big room
I just explain myself in a song to you
When a wet burning shape from ahead outside
Sent from ceiling to behind a piano to hide
Then extinguished itself on the carpet and died
The stars mingle inseparably
With the lights of houses that I see
The shadows of the leaves on the walls shimmer
In a vivid twisted frame of grey
From a streetlight outside its 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 think of words to tell you
I find nothing fine enough to say
Nothing with anything
Nothing with nothing
Nothing left in this long form play
That even plays you says I love you
In a way that pleases me
So let the oncoming day say it for me
And in the days that follow
In the back of my mind
The black sky sun gone distant country
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
