lyrics

I waited for the moment when I knew he would be OK
Twenty-five years of waiting but it never came
I waited for a sign that I would somehow get him back again
Instead I got a phone call and I was never the same
Grief is doing time

A punishment without a crime
He made his mistakes
And then he was gone

Grief is doing time
A grape just dying on the vine
I need to escape
But I can’t move on

I was painless for a moment as it tore straight through my brain
I was numbed by the words I heard like it was Novocain
But the length of the postponement only added heaviness to the strain
And after just a couple months I nearly went insane

Grief is doing time
A wall of tears I’m trapped behind
Can’t quit the ache
and carry on


Grief is doing time
A desolation so sublime
Was it all a mistake
To have loved so strong?

Grief is doing time
Always running from behind
I can’t catch a break
And it lasts so long

Grief is doing time
I asked God’s help but he declined
If he could just keep me safe
Until the dawn
