"Amen Omen", Ben Harper, 2003, from "Diamonds On The Inside"

what started as a whisper
slowly turned into a scream
searching for an answer
where the question is unseen
i don't know where you came from
and i don't know where you've gone
old friends become old strangers
between darkness and the door

amen omen, will i see your face again?
amen omen, can i find the place within
to live my life without you?

i still hear you saying
"all of life is chance
and is sweetest
is sweetest when at a glance"
but i live
i live a hundred a hundred lifetimes in a day
but i die a little
in every breath that i take

amen omen, will i see your face again?
amen omen, can i find the place within
to live my life without you?

i listen to a whisper
slowly drift away
silence is the loudest
parting word you never say
i put i put your world
into my veins
now a voiceless sympathy
is all that remains

amen omen, will i see your face again?
amen omen, can i find the place within
to live my life without you?

amen omen, can i find the strength within
to live my life?


Well, yes, the thing is... whatever, folks...
