Caedmon's Call
Lyrics
Thank God I'm back in my car and driving home
And driving home
'Cause the air was thin and so cold back in there
It was my first time, won't be my last time
And the questions rise, expectations fall
In light of it all
There aren't words to say
Words aren't remembered but presence is
A good friend once told me
And he was there, he was there
But she wasn't there, it's not fair, it's not fair
Chorus:
What crimes have you committed
Demanding such a penance
That couldn't wait for five more minutes and a cry for help
'Cause this room is so peaceful and this room is so quiet
And I hate the silence
And I can't walk the center aisle
I've been here for over three hours behind the flowers
So beautiful and young and so alive
And so in need of someone, someone to talk to them
'Cause theirs are fragile lives
(Repeat Chorus)
And I think about my brother and how I just stood there
With my hands in my pockets and my heart in my throat
Thank God I'm back in my car and driving home
And driving home
But in that place I leave all my days of taking life for granted
And the words I wrote for her
And my best friend crying and a young girl lying
On all our hearts
