I feel bereft today The sun and the warmth have gone away Another winter's day Another couldn't stay Nothing keeps me from crying out I'm crying out in vain I keep thinking about all the years And all the fears and pain I don't want to see another funeral anyway But today, today, gone away This is not a funeral song It's not for when it's all gone wrong It's to say 'hey, I'm alive' It's about the days to come Hoping we can have some fun And to celebrate our lives This is our discontent Our disconnected lives These are the days we've spent The moments of our lives Nothing keeps me from crying out I'm crying out in vain I keep thinking about all the years And all the fears and pain I don't want to see another funeral anyway But today, today, gone away
