|
time is a cold wind blowing through the leaves |
|
of a tired old tree i sit beneath |
|
where i think about the world and i don't know how |
|
what will happen to us now |
|
peace is a ladder up to the clouds |
|
that i'm wishing i could climb but i don't know how |
|
so would you lend me a hand to the promised land |
|
where i'm headed |
|
glory bound |
|
and it comes and it goes |
|
where it's headed no one knows |
|
and we come and we go |
|
all the saints and the liars |
|
sitting by the fire |
|
what will happen to us now |
|
hatred is a sharp knife held by the blade |
|
cutting in your palm till you feel no pain |
|
burning in your eyes with a righteous rage |
|
till the ashes blow away |
|
love is a thing that you can't define |
|
though you try with all your might through the riddles and rhymes |
|
it'll fly you like a kite |
|
it'll throw you to the ground |
|
but that's the best thing i have found |
|
and it comes and it goes |
|
where it's headed no one knows |
|
and we come and we go |
|
like the winter and the spring |
|
losing everything |
|
just to gain it back again |
|
oh how pretty is the middle of june |
