Jonathan Meiburg - Johnny Viola lyrics

If you could ring the sky like a bell Even such a sound would never suffice If you could bang the world like a drum It would only show it was hollow inside And as love, it slips behind a little cloud And your eyes are veiled Is there a medical term for a heart that's been removed? If you could wring the hours and the days Of all their life, I think you would find The lovely faces crash like a wave Upon a shore so frozen and white And as love, it slips behind another cloud The snow is like a feathery down When a heart has been removed And as love departs your life Like silvery birds that leave the coast Your eyes are as wide and lifeless as the moon
