April 10 Lyrics - Garbage

It was April the tenth 

I remember it well 

It was so cold that year 

It was colder than hell 

Things haven't been good 

For you, for a while 

Because I'd been on tour 

I hadn't heard 

And you've dropped in 

With the letter you wrote 

And I read it aloud 

To prove that I could 

And we were both laughing 

Cause we know how you are 

We never thought 

Your quitting was good 

We thought that we knew you 

And I guess that we don't 

Are you heavenly or 

just like the past? 

We called you "the black penny" 

Remember that? 

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 

Sweet lies and victories 

Eager and keen to please 

those good keys are everywhere 

with their thousand-yard stare 

We all end up the same 

Like little lambs to meet their end
