We Can't Stop What's Coming

So here you live
Trapped inside the days
Your pen, moving across the page
Back to where it has begun,
Uncoiled, unspun.
What you were, what you will become,
The days, setting with the sun.
Wake up it's time to go,
The taste of tears still in your throat.
Silence from your songs
Reminds us, when you are gone,
We can't hate the river for flowing,
Can't blame the wild wind blowing,
Can't slow time from running,
We can't stop what's coming.
The bonfire is burning, the birds returning,
An owl by night, a morning crow.
Inside, a shadow that grows.
A darkness in the darkness,
A stranger on the shore,
Outside of your window,
Knocking on your door.
When there is rain, it pours
'Til there is pain, no more
Wake up it's time to go,
The taste of tears still in your throat.
Silence from your songs
Reminds us, when you are gone,
We can't hate the river for flowing,
Can't blame the wild wind blowing,
Can't slow time from running,
We can't stop what's coming.
Wake up it's time to go,
The taste of tears still in your throat.
Silence from your songs
Reminds us, when you are gone,
We can't hate the river for flowing
Can't blame the wild wind blowing
Can't slow time from running
We can't stop what's coming
