So Begins the Task

Now begins the task I've dreaded the coming of For so long I wait for the sun To remind my body it needs resting I must learn to live without you now As I cannot learn to give only part somehow Camping on the edge of your city I wait Hoping someday you'll see beyond yourself Shadows on the ceiling hide but not real Like the bars that cage me within myself I must learn to live without you now As I cannot learn to give only part somehow I must learn to live without you now As I cannot learn to give only part somehow All of these cages must and shall be set aside They can only keep us from a-knowing After the stages now far before the truth And the love between us remains a-growing I must learn to live without you now As I cannot learn to give only part somehow.
