Artist/Band: Peter Gabriel
Lyrics for Song: I Grieve
Lyrics for Album: Hit [2003]



it was only one hour ago

it was all so different then

there's nothing yet has really sunk in

looks like it always did

this flesh and bone

it's just the way that you would tied in

now there's no-one home



i grieve for you

you leave me

'so hard to move on

still loving what's gone

they say life carries on

carries on and on and on and on



the news that truly shocks is the empty empty page

while the final rattle rocks its empty empty cage

and i can't handle this



i grieve for you

you leave me

let it out and move on

missing what's gone

they say life carries on

they say life carries on and on and on



life carries on

in the people i meet

in everyone that's out on the street

in all the dogs and cats

in the flies and rats

in the rot and the rust

in the ashes and the dust

life carries on and on and on and on

life carries on and on and on



it's just the car that we ride in

a home we reside in

the face that we hide in

the way we are tied in

and life carries on and on and on and on

life carries on and on and on



did I dream this belief?

or did i believe this dream?

now i can find relief

i grieve
