lyrics

If I cease to exist,
The sun and the moon will go on
Without me

If I cease to exist
The rivers will go on rising and falling like the chests
Of the people still sleeping and waking and taking their breaths
Without me

If I cease to exist
The city will go on with all its passions and vanities
Fill the handprint I've left behind with cars and trees
The ivy will cover the holes with its ravenous leaves
Without me

If I cease to exist
My friends may sing a requiem
My family may sing it again and again
Mourning the people I could have been
But the days will smooth the pain away again
Without me
Without me

If I cease to exist
One Sunday afternoon long after I'm dead
My husband will vacuum the dust from behind the bed
And find the roller all tangled with hair that fell from my head
And find the sun going cold and still and the air growing thin
And feel the world and all its intricate parts lurching to an end
Without me
Without me
Without me
Without me
