Today's the Day
You taught me how to win the card games we used to playI could always beat the other kids but the bets are off todayTonight's the night I'll say goodbye the last time that I canI'll kiss your sleeping head and hold your dying handOut beyond this silent room, out beyond this blood we shareThere's a place we both know; I will meet you there. Today's the day I will let go of what you'll never beIt's the imprint of how you lived that shines so bright in meThere was music from your hands and music filling up your roomThere were numbers filling yellow bands, all these close to youOut beyond this silent room, out beyond this blood we shareThere's a place we both know; I will meet you there. And finally I've been the daughter I should beYou called me your beloved the last time you looked up to meTomorrow I'll sing the lullaby you used to sing to meFrom a children's book you found somewhere with a made up melodyOut beyond this silent room, out beyond this blood we shareThere's a place we both know; I will meet you thereI will meet you there.  Aus Songtexte Mania
