Lyrics

SHATTER (Montgomery/Browne)

I’ve been waiting for the coming of that day.
When poets lose their muse and dreamers fade away.
And I’ll be one of them, weighing all we went through.
And I’ll decide ‘who is this man,’ when I live without you.

I don’t want to be floating when you’re gone
I can be hard like flint!
But will it matter when I’m thrown
And I shatter when you’re the only one? Will I shatter?

I am wondering can I lay down my sword
When life pulls rank on me and I can’t forgive my heart.
Oh, I know what I should do and I know what I hide.
But God only knows what I’ll become when you’re not by my side.

I don’t want to be floating when you’re gone
I can be hard like flint!
But will it matter when I’m thrown
And I shatter when you’re the only one? Will I shatter?

Will I learn how to love again, will I be released?
As the years come between us will I find my peace?

I don’t want to be floating when you’re gone
I can be hard like flint!
But will it matter when I’m thrown
And I shatter when you’re the only one?
Oh I can be hard like flint, I can be hard like flint
But will it matter when you’re gone
And I shatter when you’re gone
