i only held you for a minute
and you were gone
you grew eyes you grew legs
then you were only a song a song that i could sing when the world outside
grew cold it got old and i had nowhere to hide memories coming down like buildings
after they fall you throw diamonds and wave and hope it builds you a wall
a wall that can keep all the hurt outside and the hate and the greed
we go blind we go blind all of us here know that you're lonely
and we could never doubt a single word you say
because they have
wrecked your body
bruise those ribs who pushed the pins right through your hands?
they wont win
they wont win i see you all bathed in light
and i reach out my hand too touch your skin
and carry you home
and carry you right back home again i only held you for a minute
and you were gone
you grew eyes you grew legs
then you were only a song a song that i could sing when the world outside
grew cold it got old and i had nowhere to hide all of us here know that you're lonely
and we could never doubt a single word you say
because they have
wrecked your body
bruise those ribs who pushed the pins right through your hands?
they wont win
they wont win i see you all bathed in light
and i reach out my hand too touch your skin
and carry you home
and carry you right back home again hallelujah we can begin again
halle-hallelujah we can begin again we can begin again
halle-hallelujah we can begin again we can begin again wrecked your body
bruise those ribs
who pushed the pins right through your hands?
they wont win
they wont win i see you all bathed in light
and i reach out my hand too touch your skin
and carry you home
and carry you right back home again
