Commentary
Hints of the different worlds we enter when we experience loss.  This song was written for my colleague Lisa after the death of her mother.




Today is not a real day.

Time has lost its meaning today

I am colour blind.

I'm in a fish tank, today.


Eat, if I remember.

Sleep, if it remembers me.

The laws of physics are suspended.

Surroundings are a million miles away, today.


Why did you have to go?

Why did you have to go?

Why did you have to go? 


So, through the motions...

Into a fog, but not out the other side...

Voices I should recognise ask me if I'm OK...

Of course I am!

What are you expecting me to say?

Today.


Why did you have to go?

Why did you have to go?

Why did you have to go?
