The pain that you suffer

     in the time you have lost

returns like a story

     on the winds where you tossed

and whispers so sweetly

     in your mouth full of sighs

and drains you so empty

     of the tears in your eyes

Tomorrow is a shadow on a road that is not there

Today never happened

because I could not smell your hair

So write it up and down

     cut a cross upon my chest

and make a bed of thorns

     to lay my shattered heart to rest

Tie my soul to heaven's gatepost

     a tattered banner in the stars

to keen of love just taken

     beyond healing, beyond scars

Tomorrow is a shadow in a night I cannot bear

and yesterday can't make me

because I cannot smell your hair

My time is washed behind me

     and in front there is no light

I stand in my same footsteps

     where you left me on that night

I'm just a hollow echo of the song we used to share

and our angels all stopped singing

when I could not smell your hair

so burn my corpse a daybreak

send the smoke to heaven's air

all the angels started dying

when I could not smell your hair
