To the Very Marrow Lyrics by Ivory Wire

The World Is Flat

2003

I was just ten when the news came in
I remember the day: December 8th
I was up in my room just listening
"Come right here, don’t delay, have a seat right away."
There’s some tragic news, I can’t find the words to use
At the scene, on TV, is it true? Can it be?
“There has been a crime, and the man who changed your life
Well today that man has died...”
And I fell to the floor in disbelief
I said to myself, "How can it be?"
And the shock of it all had gripped me
Where were they? What was seen? Who would do such a thing?
And I wondered why, as I watched the crowd arrive
Holding signs at his door: “He will live forever more!”
But the bullets blazed
As the tears ran down my face, I could hear the music play
I was just ten
Years have passed, times have changed, but it still remains the same
Some things strike so deep as to affect the lives we keep
If he never came around, tell me where would we be now?
After all these years
It means more to me today
The songs still play
