So Begins The Task - Crosby, Stills & Nash

Now begins the task

I have dreaded the coming of for so long

I wait for the sun to remind

My body it needs resting

I must learn to live without you now

As I cannot learn to give only part somehow

Camping on the edge of your city I wait

Hoping someday you see beyond yourself

Shadows on the ceiling hard but not real

Like the bars that cage me within myself

I must learn to live without you now

As I cannot learn to give only part somehow

I must learn to live without you now

As I cannot learn to give only part somehow

All of these cages must and shall be set aside

They can only keep us from the knowing

Actors and stages now fall before the truth

And the love between us remains growing

I must learn to live without you now

As I cannot learn to give only part somehow
