About

Gabriel has said he wrote “I Grieve” as a song to deal with mourning:

I’ve always been interested in the way people use songs like an emotional toolkit, and I felt that there wasn’t really a song that I had to deal with grief, and I tried to write that with this piece.

I Grieve Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was only one hour ago
It was all so different then
Nothing yet has really sunk in
Looks like it always did
This flesh and bone
It's just the way that we had tied in
Now there's no-one home

[Chorus]
I grieve for you
You leave me
So hard to move on
Still loving what's gone
They say life carries on
Carries on and on and on and on

[Verse 2]
The news that truly shocks is the empty, empty page
While the final rattle rocks its empty, empty cage
And I can't handle this

[Chorus]
I grieve for you
You leave me
Let it out and move on
Missing what's gone
They say life carries on
They say life carries on and on and on

[Verse 3]
Life carries on
In the people I meet
In everyone that's out on the street
In all the dogs and cats
In the flies and rats
In the rot and the rust
In the ashes and the dust
Life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on

[Verse 4]
It's just the car that we ride in
A home we reside in
The face that we hide in
The way we are tied in
As life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on

[Outro]
Did I dream this belief?
Or did I believe this dream?
Now I can find relief
I grieve

‘I Grieve’ – One of the things over the years that sort of amazes me is how people use your songs once you’ve said goodbye to them. There was one American comic who came up to me, and I’d always liked his work, and said “you know I think that song ‘Don’t Give Up...
