Grieving by Spider Tom
(© Ken (Spider Tom) Robertson 4/6/1996)
(1) I need the darkness,
And it should rain.
Just you leave me,
Alone again.
I'm grieving, grieving tonight,
I'm grieving, grieving tonight.
(2) Don't want, no one,
I'm feeling numb.
My chest is strangled,
My heart, struck dumb.
I'm grieving, grieving tonight,
I'm grieving, grieving tonight.
Chorus
The loss, steals your everything,
The pain and the hurt, it brings,
And there's no one, or nothing,
Can cure the ache.
D It's said, time heals everything,
But it's healing no one.
Time, it won't heal,
It will just make you numb.
(3)
Life is held by,
A tiny thread,
And, when it breaks,
Is that the end?
I'm grieving, grieving tonight,
I'm grieving, grieving tonight,
(4)
Life's a battle,
'Tween hopes, and fears.
Now hope is drowning,
In a stream of tears.
I'm grieving, grieving tonight,
I'm grieving, grieving tonight, (chorus)
(5)
I hear the laughter,
In the streets of loss,
As life is chanced, like
A coin that's tossed.
I'm grieving, grieving tonight,
I'm grieving, grieving tonight,
(6)
A million tears,
Won't cure the pain,
They're bringing nothing,
Back again.
I'm grieving, grieving tonight.
I'm grieving, grieving tonight.
I'm grieving, grieving tonight.
I'm grieving, grieving tonight!
