Consider me gone (25 years)

There were rooms of forgiveness in the house that we share But the space has been emptied of whatever was there There were cupboards of patience There were shelf loads of care But whoever came calling, found nobody there After today, after today consider me gone Roses have thorns And shining watеrs mud And cancer lurks deep in the sweetest bud Clouds and еclipses Stain the moon and the sun And history reeks of the wrongs we have done After today, after today consider me gone I've spent too many years, at war with myself The doctor has told me, it's no good for my health To search for perfection, is all very well But to look for heaven, is to live here in hell After today, after today consider me gone Consider me, consider me, consider me gone Consider me gone, gone
