Laurie Anderson - A Dream Of Water lyrics

There were those who didn't run There were those who couldn't take it There were those who stayed in the city What was it? Where did it go? There were those who laid their bodies down There were those who took our knifes There were those who kissed the grey skies There were those who only knew only the sound of their own voices There were those who knew the rules There were those who freed their bodies There were those who couldn't take it There were others on their own What was it? What was it? There were strangers and conmen There were those who lived in the cross space There were people lighting candles There were people going crazy There were those who walked the beach What war is that? What war is that? What time could this be? There were those who didn't run There were those who couldn't take it There were those who stayed in the city What was it? Where did it go? There were those who laid their bodies down There were those who took our knifes There were those who kissed the grey skies There were those who only knew only the sound of their own voices There were those who knew the rules There were those who freed their bodies There were those who couldn't take it There were others on their own What was it? What was it? There were strangers and conmen There were those who lived in the cross space There were people lighting candles There were people going crazy There were those who walked the beach What war is that? What war is that? What time could this be?
