Hollow stone Early morning you slip out the window And glide through the dew All alone Back a thousand years And you know there is no answer They can give you, they can give you For the words are not there for them to choose After all You are only a molecule drifting An atom afloat As you fall Into space from your lonely shell of fear You raise your hands and gaze in wonder At a word you have seen somewhere before Only you can see the men of wisdom Moving slowly on together Sun shines through the stone but once a year Ceremony now will start anew And so you sit beneath the linden tree Staring ghostly at the altar And all the problems that perplex you so Dissolve and vanish deep into the water No use asking what you are Or what you'll be a millisecond after As you plunge back into laughter now Dancing and calling out your name And still you sit beneath the linden tree Staring ghostly at the altar And all the problems that perplex you so Dissolve and vanish deep into the water
