lyrics

I woke up one morning and the sun was gone
The air was filled with ash and there were dead birds on the lawn
No trace of you, baby, or a single friend
No sound from the radio or car engines on the wind
So I walked 3 miles to work and I sat down at my desk
Passed the day in silence, then I walked back home to rest
That’s what I do each morning once I’m dressed
It’s lonely sometimes, but I know I’m blessed
To be alive

I got up one evening and the moon was blood
The water started rising, and the house began to flood
So I grabbed a book of matches and my warmest coat
Paced around the cul-de-sac and saw my neighbor’s boat
Now I float around this town every day in total dark
Pass the time by counting all the treetops in the park
Just like Noah and his ark
Though I may never disembark
I’m alive

I woke up this morning and the stars had fell
It looked like Independence Day but felt just like hell
I had no one beside me for the fireworks
I pretended you were with me, but that only made it worse
Now the sky is falling, and it’s such a sight to see
I hope you’re out there somewhere thinking of me
Our short time was almost heavenly
It’s lonely but I know I’m blessed to be
Alive
