Hindsight (The Beauty Of It All)
Written September 1994
Appears on Death And Re:Bertha
Available as an mp3


Sometimes it takes a shock
To realize where we've been
And turning back the clock
Sticks you like a pin

And the world spins before my eyes
With everything I've ever sensed
I feel it all again
From a state of innocence. (innocence...)

Chorus:
And my mind tells me to forget all my fears
And my ears can hear my mother down the hall
And my life is reduced to the flow of running tears
And my eyes can see the beauty of it all.

I feel the sun's warmth on my face
On a chill November morn
As my mouth recalls the taste
Of a sweetly ripened orange.

And friends who long have died
And those alive and well
Pass before my eyes
Like the lifting of a veil. (lifting me...)
Chorus:
But my mind tells me that none of these things are here
And my ears can hear the siren's lonely call
And I swear that I feel pain somewhere in here
But my eyes can see the beauty of it all.

And my visions slowly fade
To the weight of a doctor's stare
And I feel how much she gave
And I feel how much she cares.

And there's love throughout this place
Swirling all around the room
It laps against my face
I want to stay here... I want to stay here.

Chorus:
But my mind tells me that the end is drawing near
And my ears can start to hear the angels call
And the pain - slowly starts to disappear
And my eyes can see the beauty of it all.
