it’s been 10 long years since i saw your eyes
took me all that time just to realize
what i shoulda done and what i shouldn’t said
but i went and did the opposite instead

it’s been 10 long years since i heard your name
but i’m oft reminded of it all the same
in the virga gloom and in the rails below
my descent to hell is proving long and slow

oh well oh well oh well

its been 10 long years since I smeld your hair
but there’s evocation of it everywhere
in the petrichor and the western wind
in the sullen downpour wert to cleanse my sins

it’s been 10 long years since i saw you smile
next time i do the same’s gonna be a while
cuz i’m in purgatory on a mortal plane
and the reckoning be every day’s the same

oh well oh well oh well

it’s been 10 long years since i saw your grave …
would there were a lord, i’d pray my soul to save

oh well oh well oh well
