So Begins the Task Songtext
von Judy Collins

Now begins the task
I′ve 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


Camping on the edge of your city I wait
Hoping someday you'll see beyond yourself
Shadows on the ceiling hide 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
I must learn to live without you now
As I cannot learn to give only part somehow

All of these cages must and shall be set aside
They can only keep us from a-knowing
After the stages now far before the truth
And the love between us remains a-growing


I must learn to live without you now
As I cannot learn to give only part somehow.
