Life - for a limited time only.

[MarillionFan]

When you're falling awake
and you take stock of the new day
and you hear your voice croak

as you choke on what
you need to say


Life's a long song.
Life's a long song.


Precisely now - as the pages of the Book of your Life
unfold and
your soul suffers the long day

and the twelve o'clock gloom
spins the room
you struggle on your way


Well, don't you sigh
don't you cry
lick the dust from your eye.

Life's a long song.
Life's a long song.
Life's a long song


... But The Tune Ends Too Soon - For Us All ....

You're just being thick as a brick now!

[AlfredJPruffock]

When you're falling awake

unfold and

and the twelve o'clock gloom

Life's a long song.
Life's a long song.
Life's a long song

my current role means I see the dead on a regular basis but just recently I have been seeing more and more people of my generation - its the reel young ones that make you cry like a baby though.

for me personally i have not had to experience it - something i know will come and I am not looking forward to it

Just got in touch with an old work colleague from years back only to learn that a female colleague I worked alongside had passed away from cancer a few years ago. Similar age to myself. You could have knocked me over with a leaf. And being so young makes it all the harder to bare.

So people listen up, life is short... so make it a good one.

Had that twice in the last year. Both women, both breast cancer, both 'cured' both left husbands with young kids (<2 years old)!

Just heard summat similar, it makes you feel very small and wonder why we complain about anything
