patrick p.a.t. barnett - rest in poetry lyrics

lyrics:

verse 1

i thought of you with love today
but that is nothing new
i thought about you yesterday and days before that too
i think of you in silence
i often speak your name
all i have are memories
and a picture in a frame
your memory is my keepsake
for which i’ll never part
god has you in his kingdom
i have you in my heart

i called your telephone the other morning
had to realize that you were gone, i was still in mourning
i was still enjoying the relationship we had
the open discussions, the arguments, the many laughs
it’s hard to acknowledge that we no longer walk a path
together in this thing we call life and i get sad
seeing your reflection in my tear drops
i fear not
knowing that your spirit still here
within an earshot
speak to you with no replies
i just look for signs
that you get my message
that you’re doing fine
tell god i can’t get over this
but i understand
you’re needed somewhere else
it’s all out of my hands
and uh
i sent a text message the other night
i response never came so i decided to write
had to tell ’bout some new songs
travel delights
current state of my life
all my new insights
but uh
i realize that you’re no longer here
tried to numb the pain i drank a couple of beers
alcohol only seems to increase magnification
still feels like you’re here
similar to amputation
wish you were by my side
this pain it’s hard to hide
take it all in stride
do my best i must survive
spread my wings i have to fly
i just wonder why
life so serious n0body makes it out alive
chorus:

here one day, then gone away
things will never be the same
here one day, then gone away
and all that remains is the pain

bridge:

it’s been so long since i’ve seen your face
i’m not upset i know you live in god’s grace
the pain is motivation so the pain i embrace
original no copy so i can replace and

verse 2:

often wonder why you’re taken from
i pray have faith yet i never show on sunday
sat+rday or wednesday
no bible study
no cracker and no wine that the preacher claims is bl++dy
but god
knows my heart and he knows my thoughts
what we shared in life it could never be bought
real bond between people
wrong or right
in darkness we gave light
for free no price
and i
still endure the struggle and the strife
i know the life’s a gamble so i gotta roll the dice
i hope these words suffice
they cut me like a knife
i hope i get to say them to you in the afterlife
chorus:

here one day, yeah!, then gone away
things will never be the same
here one day, then gone away
and all that remains is the pain

i said it’s been a little while since i’ve seen your face
getting kind of hard to move on
but, the pain is motivation and i’m doing my job
drowning in emotion of the song, hey!
it’s been a little while since i’ve seen your face
getting kind of hard to move on
but, the pain is motivation
though it’s frustrating
you don’t know what you have until it’s gone
yeah yeah!
oh when it’s gone
when it’s gone away yeah
gone away
so far away
yeah yeah yeah!
