When you first hear the news
It sends a chill through your bones
Suddenly the world is so small
Winter turned your heart to stone
All you know is that she's been taken
Like Hades stole his summer bride
With no answers to thaw the shock
You numbly scramble to her side
Just let the cold wind blow through your soul
Let it freeze your tears and dry up your eyes
There's time enough later to cry
Have you ever heard Hermes apologize?
Remember when there were no walls
When the horizon was our only fence
Remember when time meant nothing at all
We marked our days by Apollo's ride
Those arms that used to hold me tight
Can hardly hang onto my hand
So in the face of this tragedy
I only have one demand
Just let the cold wind blow through your soul
Let it freeze your tears and dry up your eyes
There's time enough later to cry
Have you ever heard Hermes apologize?
My advice is simple and bitter sweet
Find a dark corner in your heart and retreat
He says he's sorry, nothing can be done
He offers a few months as a consolation prize
There's time enough later to cry
Have you ever heard Hermes apologize?
The lilies bow their heads to the mahogany lid
As if they know what lies beneath and morn with you
But Narcissus can never know
about the hole she left behind
It finally is time to cry
Have you ever heard Hermes apologize?
