    Story Behind the Song
    This has become (along with Painted Hearts, Faded Hearts) a crowd favorite. In fact, several crowds have threatened to riot and burn down the coffeehouse if they DIDN'T play it. The lyrics resonate because of the universal themes of intimacy, faith, and the daily struggle for both. As great as this cut is, you need to get to a Helvetica is for Lovers show ASAP to see it live, where it is at its best. (note: many fans call this song "Glory Fades," so maybe its a glass-half-full/glass-half-empty thing...dicusss.)

    Lyrics
    I didn't feel the sun today
    But they all say this glory fades
    This is the thing I want the most
    Still is the thing I am the least

    He hasn't seen the Son in years
    Just reinforcing all these fears
    Constant reminder of the
    Way life used to be back then

    So he tries it without her
    Through the moonlight and the wind
    Or the sunlight
    through a window
    and the memory of a friend

    While I lied there crying on the bathroom floor
    Cause she told me not to take it anymore
    So he tries it without her

    I didn't feel the sun today
    But they all say His glory stays
    This is the thing I want the most
    Still is the thing I am the least
