There is the one ceiling the lies A fine veil over your eyes Even the ocean, holding the tide Your hopes while you're slaving for time This is the one who knows no regret Who knows who you are You've never met But one day he'll find you Where ever you are Owner of land he never walked on All shadows, even the sun All shadows, even the sun All shadows, even the sun Without a doubt he knows how to count your tears There is the one ceiling the lies A fine veil over your eyes Wake up one day and you'll realize how Hard you've been running most of your life All shadows, even the sun All shadows, even the sun All shadows, even the sun Without a doubt he knows how to count your tears He waves at the old with his back to the wall Waves at the young, the lost, the bored Giving the sad eye while in his mind You're not adding straws to the pile Maybe he'll give you a few more years Placing the time gla** on your stairs From that day your life's caving in You'll blame yourself, no one ever blames him All shadows, all shadows All shadows, even the sun Without a doubt he knows how to count your tears
