[hometext] => The title refers to the fact that this song is a nocturne and is about as dark as lyrics come. The lyrics are so saturated with the sadness of the persona that one can't help but be moved by their catharsis. At least, that's how it sounds. Hopefully the lyrics will convey even a portion of that pain and sadness. This work is at least a couple years old and it still pains me every time I sing it.
[bodytext] => Today,
I went to school. I rode a horse. I played a game with our daughter. Today. I washed the car. I cleaned the house. I did all this while I waited. Today. Where did you go? Why aren’t you home? Have you been hurt, scared or murdered? Today. I cannot sleep. I cannot think. I cannot comfort our daughter. Today. I was a fool. I said goodbye. I said “I love you.” I meant it. Today. I walked outside. In the pitch black. And I’ll keep walking forever. Today. Today. Today. Where is my spouse? When will I find her? When can I ever be happy? Today. I mowed the lawn. I thought you’d see it And say hey, that’s good. Today. I cooked us dinner. I got some movies. I lit some candles for you dear. Today. Today. Today. The candles burnt out. The dinner is moldy. The movies have gone back forever. Today. The lawn is a swampland. The clock is now broken. The car’s been revoked, stripped and resold. Today. My girl is a woman. The horse is now long dead. The school is now closed and in ruins. Today. I am not happy. I was not careful. I said “I Love You.” I meant it. Today. Today. Today.
