A Dying Light

You don’t know the lyrics
And you can’t feel the words
The melody’s confusing
A broken chord in thirds.

A major key that’s fallen off
Now shattered on the floor
I pace, and cry, and try to write
And you just shut the door

Anger’s left for our refrain
We cannot find the bridge
The harmony has gone to shit
We’re hurting both the kids

To you it’s just a bunch of noise,
To me, it was my life
It’s time to close the songbook
And say goodbye, my wife

We’ve been stuck on the chorus
There’s no more verse to write
The sunset’s not so pretty
It’s just a dying light
