lyrics

You are the light on the
first day of spring
An empty darkness in my head,
and it aches .
Oh how I loved you as I left you
in that mourning light
Oh how I loved you as I left you
in the winter time

Didn't I? Didn't I...

It took so long to realise
what all the hate was for
By then we were the soldiers
marching on to war

If we could only close our eyes then
maybe we might see

Every voice inside our heads aren't you
and they are not me

Oh My God! What now?
Confusion in the cloud

And nobody cares anymore
So why should I care at all?

Why should I care, care at all?

I was the first dawn and the
last dawn of your life

And I saw all hope and love die
in your eyes
Now I thought I had won the game,
you know I did not compromise
I know you think I'm deaf and dumb
but Johnny I'm not blind.

Not today, nor tomorrow,
not at all.

I'm gonna ramble on tonight,
no I do not have to tell you why

Not at all
