Your Life Is Precious

Gusts of filth slit the wintry air
 We stood where trains won't even dare
 ♪
 When the call comes in you know
 What's going on in that home
 ♪
 Wrote you a letter 'cause life is precious
 
 You were homeward bound
 Toward the sound of silence
 Stuck here under April skies
 Old friend, you're between planets
 ♪
 And it doesn't...
 Sound good like music in a record store
 Feel warm like someone you never felt before
 ♪
 I miss your look of intensity
 ♪
 East and West and what "Emma" means
 
 Boys and girls of D.I.
 What it truly means to be kind
 ♪
 But it doesn't...
 Sound good like music in a record store
 ♪
 Feel warm like someone you never felt before
 ♪
 I made your mother cry when you went away
 
 It's the day after the perfect day
 ♪
 Everything's telling me that he's gone
 ♪
 You say you're here but you aren't
 Red cloaks and wistful faces
 All rise for the ever-restless
 I guess I always knew
 That this would happen to you
 And you'd see it through
 And it doesn't...
 Sound good like music in a record store
 ♪
 Feel warm like someone you never felt before
 
 Made your mother cry when you went away
 It's the week after the perfect day
 
 Made your mother cry when you went away
 And there are no more perfect days
