In April

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The day we met, my life was changed I always heard that love was strange And painful, painful One night you slept upon your side Tangled in white, you looked just like An angel, an angel [Chorus] So why did you fly away? I've been dying a little death Since that very day I used to laugh when you told me You must forget and forgive to be free [Verse 2] Down by the water, dressed in black I swore revenge to get you back Hateful, hateful I made my camp upon the hill Drank whiskey from the secret still Blameful, blameful [Chorus] So why did you fly away? I've been dying a little death Since that very day I used to laugh when you told me You must forget and forgive to be free [Bridge] And I never could admit The part I had in it So this is what I get, my friend [Verse 3] Drunk in a field of scarlet snow I reconciled with your ghost In April, in April I stood before the hypocrite There in the mirror, brightly lit Shameful, shameful [Chorus] Now I know why you ran away And I've been dying a little death Since that very day I used to laugh when you told me You must forget and forgive You must forgive just to live You must forget and forgive to be free
