Acceptance Lyrics

I remember that April day

The breeze was kind of cold

And the sky was bluish gray

Grass was turning green

And the flowers were in bloom

But all that I could feel

Was an everlasting gloom

Tears were flooding down like torrential rain

Years will start to pass but never ease the pain

Now the flowers that lined your grave

Fill the gardens in my head

And foggy memories of better days

Make me yearn for things you said

Many years have now gone by

Lost every ounce of hope

And forgotten how to cry

A faded picture on my bedroom wall

What day that we last spoke

I still cannot recall

Tears are flowing down like rivers to a lake

Emptiness is breached

Now watch the levee break

Now the flowers that lined your grave

Fill the gardens in my head

And foggy memories of better days

Make me yearn for things you said

Now the body that housed your soul

Has been given back to earth

Hard acceptance that you are gone

Makes us understand your worth

Falling into nothingness I lay and watch the sun

Accepting this as punishment for what is left to come

Falling into nothingness I lay and watch the sun

Accepting this as punishment for everything Ive done
