lyrics

These Things

They say these things just happen,
they said “nothing could be done”, and they said
“It’s not your mistake, it’s not your mistake, it’s not your mistake.”

He says, “my dear it’s not all on you”,
he says, “just give it some time” and he says
“We all carry the weight, it’s not your mistake, it’s not your mistake.”

But though I’ve carried it alone
and though I’ve many miles to go
I’ve been shown, and I know:

Those who we’ve lost, they’re still around,
not up on a shelf or buried in the ground,
not drifting at sea, or lost in the wood,
they’re here all around us for good.

They said “We’ll be right there for you.”
They said “Ring the bell day or night!” and they said
“We can call every day, but what do we say? What do we say?”
He says, “I know it’s ongoing”
He says, “I died with her too” and he says
“I’m right there with you, I’m right there with you, I’m right here with you.”

Though I’ve carried it alone
and though I’ve many years to go
I’ve been shown and I know

Those who we’ve lost, they’re still around,
not up on a shelf or buried in the ground,
not drifting at sea, or lost in the wood,
they’re here all around us for good.

So I’ll pack up the playthings and I’ll keep the clothes.
I’ll frame the sad pictures, ten fingers, ten toes.
I wish I could hold her, but empty’s her bed.
She lives all around me instead.

They say these things just happen
