There's just one way to fill in your grave
There's no other path through the flames
We'll save you and keep you to
fear for and fight it
and give it a name

Strain your eyes as you scan for the phrase
all the words on the following page
bring a warning that questions
we'll ask you tomorrow
are answered today

Your glitering images
blind me and you're
Always amazed
when you find me but
I left a note in your pocket
to tell you I'd stay

And the melody sticks in your brain.
Cut the tempo to hold back the change.
The imortal arrangement no longer requested,
but played just the same.

The path that you take leaves just one set of tracks
A bounce of the ball, a swipe for the jacks
Wound-up, lying down with a light on the stairs
(It's still there)

Chor I
We are helpless, We are living
Focusing skyward; We are forgiven
When the heart breaks, And the son dies
Swirling around you, Burning and healing

Raise the anchor inside a safe port
Face the waves with your stern to the shore
Make a mark on the Atlas:
The entrance and exit were not the same door.

You took your first cigarette,
and tucked me in tight I was
the only one to wake up when you
shut out the lights
You pinned a note to my jacket
to tell me
you'd gone
(so long)

Chor II
We are boundless, We are feeling
Strong for the first time;
We are believing
As the Crow flies, As the fool sings
Swirling around you, Burning and healing
