"You Learn To Live Without"

You learn to take your coffee black

 You learn to drink your whiskey neat

 You learn to take your shower cold

 And sleep on tired feet

 You learn to order dinner in

 You learn to send the laundry out

 You learn to amuse yourself

 You learn to live without

 You tell yourself you're rich at last in money and in time

 You draw a bath and then unplug the phone

 You pour yourself a Pinot Clo Du Val 2003

 You sit a spell a queen upon her throne

 You go to bed alone

 You learn to fall asleep alone

 You learn to silence ticking clocks

 You learn to turn the shades at night

 And double check the locks

 You learn to speak so calmly when

 Your heart would like to scream and shout

 You learn to smile and breathe and smile

 You learn to live without

 You find the coat and tie you thought you'd given to good will

 You stumble along a long lost set of chess

 You see him there in corners and in closets and on shelves

 And truth be told you'd like to see him less

 You stumble through the morning but you waken for the day

 You tell yourself that all is going well

 But now and then a sense of loss just slams you in the chest

 You know that no one else can really tell

 You make it all seem swell

 You learn to count the quiet winds

 An hour with no unprompted tears

 And not to count the deadly days

 As they fade into years

 You learn to stand alone at last

 So brave and bold and strong and stout

 You learn to somehow like the dark

 You even love the doubt

 You learn to hold your life inside you

 And never let it out

 You learn to live and live and die and live

 You learn to live without

 You learn to live without

 You learn to live without
