I thought you knew but what it is I can't say
Bittersweet is what it is
A homily to a better life
I took the bad news in my stride
Too late to care too proud to cry
I found as good as I can give
Wounded, entrenched, some life I live
And your own eternal sleep
Walk on into the bright light
Another day for you to try
I know I've been here before
I know I've been here before
I thought you knew but what it is I can't say
A homily to a better life
I took the bad news in my stride
Too late to care too proud to cry
I found as good as I can give
Wounded, entrenched, some life I live
Petty jealousy that's led to betrayal
Enough to drive final nails
So walk on, walk on old man
I know I've been here before
I know I've been here before
A homily to a better life
I took the bad news in my stride
Too late to care, too proud to cry
I found as good as I can give
Wounded, entrenched, some life I live
I know I've been here before
I know I've been here before
And your own eternal sleep
Walk on into the bright light
Remember in the end, you and me
