April 10th
[Verse 1]
It was April tenth
I remember it well
It was so cold that year
It was colder than hell
And things haven't been good
For you, for a while
'Cause I'd been on tour
I hadn't heard

[Verse 2]
Ruth dropped in
With the letter you wrote
And we read it aloud
To prove that I could
And we were both laughing
'cause we know how you are

[Verse 3]
We never thought
Your quitting was good
We thought that we knew you
Well, I guess that we don't
Are you heavenly or
Just like the past?
We called you "the black penny"
Remember that?
[Verse 4]
The sea is wide
The streets are long
And there's blood on all our hands
With the catalyst gone
And only what's left to us
Is history built on dust
I was sweating on poet's words
Great nations and governments

[Verse 5]
Feat lies in victories
Eager and keen to please
Those junkies are everywhere
With their thousand-yard stare
We all end up the same
Like little lambs to meet their end
