just being awake, I feel blessed and full of grace
I am a machine of perfect mortality
and I, I am the sky that swallowed you up, up, up
I still look the same, but I am not the same
I'm never the same
cause someone I love is gone
someone I love is gone
in the middle of the trees, there's a system of one, two, three stones
where my sister fell
and in the middle of my life, there's a blank spot where I, I, I
cannot unlearn how fragile we are
and how lucky two
someone I love is gone
someone I love is gone
from my open arms to my empty hands
the weight of your absence measured in sand
someone I love is gone
and serious men with serious beards say that nothing, nothing at all is real
but I don't subscribe
I may not exist, but I will still love, love, love
everyone here til I disappear
and this, this is a song we can all sing a long, long, long time
cause it's always the truth
and it goes like this
someone I love is gone
someone I love is gone
from my open arms to my empty hands
my heart is an engine seeking to understand
the truth of my body, the truth of the land
someone I love is gone
from my open arms to my empty hands
my shining eyes locked on lives made of sand
forgive me my darling as only you can
forgive me for being no more than a man
who sings, someone I love is gone
