She wakes up, the room is bare
Puts some make-up on her face
Combs her hair to go outside
It ain’t an easy thing to be done
It ain’t an easy thing to be done
It took a whole life to reunite
What should’ve never been divided
To take down the guitar from the wall
It ain’t an easy thing to be done
It ain’t an easy thing to be done
But once the light of love
Has shone so bright
Darkness will never be the same
Let the quiet rain
Gently wash
Her pain
Away
She can’t conceive he’s gone
And nothing can be done
Kids are climbing the stairs
To wash her pain away
Away
