She doesn't see the day today No colours where the children play She doesn't see the things she saw White crosses painted on the door See me fly, see me cry, see me walk away Every time the sun shines, to me it's a rainy day He didn't see the summer go Though he knew what the shadows know He didn't see his arms grow old
He didn't feel his blood run cold See me fly, see me cry, see me walk away Every time the sun shines, to me it's a rainy day They listened to his voice grow pale No stamps were on the morning mail They all listened to the white truck ring Words just didn't mean a thing See me fly, see me cry, see me walk away
