Lyrics

The Night That Bowie Died

All the pain and the fear designated
There's a number of tears to cry
So welcome to this life
Oh it ain't easy

Planting flowers in the garden
Or driving in your car
Even when we're laughing
No matter where we are
Tears are made for crying
Just give up the fight
The dawn is waiting for me
At the end of this long night

How much can a body be broken
Am I getting too close to the fire
Oh, let me hear the choir

It's the strangest thing
Feels like you're near
Standing by my side
Almost like you're here
The whole world gave a sigh
Like the night that Bowie died

So come a little closer
So I can see your face
I want you to remind me
Of that special place
Where nothing can harm me
We're just floating in space

It's the strangest thing
It feels like you're near
Standing by my side
Almost like you're here
The whole world gave a sigh
Like the night that Bowie died

It's the strangest thing
It feels like you're near
Standing by my side
Almost like you're here
The whole world gave a sigh
Like the night that Bowie died
