You leave the moment and stare At all the boats on the bay And children wave And it grieves you to be lonely On a lovely, lovely summer day What's wrong, you say 'Cause all the rest feels like a hard wind, cold rain And any peace just passing through All the rest feels like it might just lead to Endless days of gloom for you You sought the solitary And had affairs with solitude Didn't you? But he caught you unaware, and He offered something like the truth And he loved you too And all the rest was lost in tears and tall tales And all the secrets kept from view All the rest was lost in should's and supposed-to's There was no chance to choose for you Today you wake up early You watch the wind while morning moves From your room Apart from all the stuff we say Apart from damage we might do We know what's true And all the rest is up to long nights, lost words And all the sleep you're bound to lose And all the rest will heal, but nice and slow, so Time will have to do for you
