Oh my queen, the light is fast asleep
Darkness comes as easy as a breath
Damn the daylight and every passing hour
That lights the weary path to dusty death
Brief candle out, out, out
Bid us rest
Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace, day after day
Oh the sorrow, I'm drowning in the sorrow
Dark providence has its way, day after day
We are walking shadows, players on a stage
Stumbling around for just an hour
Say our lines, take a bow and then we're heard no more
Oh the sound and the fury of it all
Brief candle out, out, out
Curtain call
Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace, day after day
Oh the sorrow, I'm drowning in the sorrow
Dark providence has its way, day after day
Day after day, there's nothing left to say
Day after day
There would've been time for such a word
