When the Mourning Comes Lyrics

I could run forever, dear
And all I would read is the mirror
Empathy and sympathy are partners,
Are drifters, like we
Forgotten days are heavy hands upon my chest
We can drive until daybreak and then I'll rest

I'll be there just to make you happy
I'll be there just to see the sun
I'll be there just to keep you happy
And I'll be there when the mourning comes

Touch these days and I'll kill you
Some words sung are as solemn as true
Surrender to the tune that's flown
She bared all her teeth then she moaned
Cotton days are heavy hands upon your breasts
We can go until daybreak and then we'll rest

I'll be there just to make you happy
I'll be there just to see the sun
I'll be there just to keep you happy
And I'll be there when the mourning comes

She lay there like a thousand mirrors,
Reflecting only shadows
The skies are blue, it must be tears,
That beat outside my window
