Lyrics of loss

The pitch-black canvas of the sky

stares at me, I don’t know why

I wonder ‘bout its lack of stars

who knows how old and far they are ?

      Melancholy in everything

      and vast as all the cosmos

      so all I ever do is sing

      these lyrics of loss

      to me they sound like everything

      these lyrics of loss

So gaze into the mystery

riddle of all, you and me

and wonder ‘bout all the questions

and the answers, all the lessons

       refr.

      Coda: and all our past

                 is wide and vast

                 it’s beyond the beyond

                 no ties no bonds
