Still

The sun still shines down on the world
The birds still sing in the trees
The tides still turn
And the rain still falls
Since you walked out on me

The clouds still form
And the stars still shine
The waves still break on the shore
The wind still blows
And the night still falls
Now you’re not here any more

But these small things mean nothing
If you are not still here with me
Cos everything’s empty and everything’s sore
Since you left last Sunday, while slamming the door

The streams still flow
And the seasons turn
And life still goes on
The rain’s still wet
And the grass still grows
And still you are gone

Originally given the whole studio production this was recorded live in one take at the end of the session and has taken on a dynamic all of its own. The line “Since you left last Sunday while slammin’ the door” tells the whole story.
