I met him at the door
I had a million things to say
He looked me in the eye
And then he turned away
But I saw the fiery light
The whole damn burning wreck
“My mother died last night”
Oh god what a bloody mess

A man jumped into the water
And didn’t try to swim
I just held my breath
I didn’t do a thing
I was there that morning
I sat there at his side
As they carried her by
I could not hold back the tide

He knows me
He knows me too well
And I know him
As far as I can tell
What will remain
After all of this rain
Two sorry souls
Giving up and moving on
