I first felt the fear that phantom summer When my grandmother died I lived in her house for six months after Always waiting for the sunrise I didn't know the world had ended And left without saying goodbye I didn't know the world had ended And left without saying goodbye I saw it again -- oil on canvas And a face staring right at me I swear there was a soul in two dimensions Touching the tip of eternity I didn't know the world had ended And left without saying goodbye I didn't know the world had ended And left without saying goodbye I am still afraid I am still afraid I've got a body with an irregular heartbeat And dreams of breaking vows Now I want to give this old world Its handwoven funeral shroud
