Suspended Disbelief

Lyrical selections from the Church Benches and Rain

All My Life

Life goes on without you,
finding new distractions,
taking comfort where I can.
Some days are better than others
but the nights are the same,
alone and aching for
the soft touch of your skin.

I could find someone new,
women still smile at me
but it's so shallow.
No warmth within their eyes,
they just can't compare,
no-one ever could,
I will always belong to you.

I have my dreams
in pale listless grey
for you were the colour in my life.
Food and wine taste likes ashes
without you by my side.

Why do we keep pretending
neither of us is missing
the love we lost.
How long will we play this game
of watching each other
watch the other
when all I want is you?

I can't change your past,
I can't change mine
but we can ease each other's pain.
Give me your trust and
I'll give you all my life
