Grieve

A few days ago a good man died at the age of 53. He was a member of a fine family that I know good and wich I care a lot for. I hope the family can pick up there normal lives, after a period of grieve, soon. When I heared the bad news the song; 'I Grieve' of Peter Gabriel was the first thing I thought of. The lyrics speak for themselfs. It's all you can do...

In his memory:

It was only one hour ago
It was all so different then
Nothing yet has really sunk in
Looks like it always did
This flesh and bone
It's just the way that we are tied in
But there's noone home
I grieve...for you
You leave... Me
So hard to move on
Still loving what's gone
Said life carries on...
Carries on and on and on...
And on
The news that truely 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
Said life carries on
I said life carries on and on...
And on
Life carries on in the people I meet
In every one that's out on the street
In all the dogs and cats
In the flies and rats
In the rot and the rustIn
In the ashes and the dust
Life carries on and on and on...
And on Life carries on and on and on...
Life carries on and on and on...
And on Life carries on and on and on...
Just the car that we ride in
The home we reside in
The face that we hide in
The way we are tied in
As 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
How I will find relief I grieve...

Peter Gabriel
