We Can't Stop What’s Coming - The The

So here you live

Trapped inside the days

Your pen moving across the page

Back to where?

It has begun

Uncoiled

Unspun

What you were what you will become

The days setting with the sun

Wake up it’s time to go

The taste of tears still in your throat

Silence from your songs

Reminds us — when you are gone

We can’t hate the river for flowing

Can’t blame the wild wind blowin'

Can’t slow the time from running

We can’t stop what’s coming

The bonfire is burning

The birds returning

An owl by night

A mourning crow

Inside a shadow that grows

A darkness in the darkness

A stranger on the shore

Outside of your windo

Knockin' on your door

When there is rain it pours

' Till there is no pain no more

Wake up it’s time to go

The taste of tears still in your throat

Silence from your songs

Reminds us when you are gone

We can’t hate the river for

flowing

Cant blame the wild wind blowin'

Cant slow time from running

We can’t stop what’s coming

Wake up it’s time to go

The taste of tears still in your throat

Silence from your songs

Reminds us when you are gone

We can’t hate the river for

flowing

Can’t blame the wild wind blowin'

Can’t slow time from running

We can’t stop what’s coming
