So Begins The Task
Judy Collins
verse 1 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 verse 2 Camping on the edge of your city I wait Hoping someday you’ll 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 Instrumental: (2x) I must learn to live without you now As I cannot learn to give only part - somehow verse 2 All of these cages must and shall be set aside They can only keep us from the knowing Actors and stages now bow before the truth And the love between remains a-growing I must learn to live without you now As I cannot learn to give only part - somehow Outro:
