So Begins the Task

Now begins the task I have dreaded the coming of for so long I wait for the sun to remind My body it needs resting I must learn to live without you now As I cannot learn to give only part somehow Camping on the edge of your city I wait Hoping someday you see beyond yourself Shadows on the ceiling hard but not real Like the bars that cage me within myself I must learn to live without you now As I cannot learn to give only part somehow I must learn to live without you now As I cannot learn to give only part somehow All of these cages must and shall be set aside They can only keep us from the knowing Actors and stages now fall before the truth And the love between us remains growing I must learn to live without you now As I cannot learn to give only part somehow
