So Begins the Task (LP版)

So Begins the Task (LP版) - Stephen Stills

And so begins the task

I have dreaded the coming of

So long

I wait for the sun

To remind my body

It needs restin'

And I must learn to live

Without you now

I must learn to give only part some how

Camping on the edge

Of your city I wait

Hoping someday

You might

See

Beyond yourself

The shadows on the ceiling

Hard

But not real

Like the bars that cage

You within yourself

And I must learn to live

Without you now

I must learn to give only part some how

And I must learn to live

Without you now

As I cannot learn to give only part some how

All of these cages

Must

And shall be set aside

They will only

Keep

Us from the knowing

Actors

And stages

Now fall before the truth

As th love

Shared

Between us

Remains

Growing

And I must learn to live

Without you now

As I cannot learn to give only part some how
