The Pain Is Gone

(album: Two Strangers - 2010)

I'll take a photograph
Whatever makes you laugh
But come on step out of the rain.
You'd hate to catch your death
All the life that you got left
Lit up like a candle on your face.

There are words that are fading
And I'm trying hard to say 'em before
They fall into the fog.
But every single day
Once or twice an hour
The shadow falls away and I see you walking in a straight line.

And the pain is gone the pain is gone.
I recognize it but it's unfamiliar.
Now the pain is gone the pain is gone.
I recognize it but it's unfamiliar.

Yes there's a place
Only you and I go.
And there are things about me
Only you will ever know.

I didn't mean to push you
Didn't mean to laugh when you fell
I didn't mean to shout when you got hurt.
I didn't mean to argue
Didn't mean to criticize you
And I'm sorry I said I didn't like your skirt.

There are demons that are screaming
And I'm trying not to feed 'em as I
Carry water for us through the dirt.
But I always need you here
I always need you near me
I don't know what I'd do if I was walking here without you.

And the pain is gone, the pain is gone.
I recognize it but it's unfamiliar.
Now the pain is gone, the pain is gone.
I recognize it but it's unfamiliar.

Yes there's a place
Only you and I go.
And there are things about me
Only you will ever know.

And this sweet dream will end
And I will wake from this life
Again and again and again
