Pearls Before Swine - Translucent Carriages lyrics

The translucent carriages Drawing morning in Dawn inside their pockets Like a whisper on the wind The soft touch of your words Has been betrayed like love grown old Or the silhouettes of children Crying somewhere in the cold The ancient night is coming back The light is fading out The tree is hid in shadow In a fog of useless doubt Go away go away The imperative is drawn All your symbols are shattered All your sacred words are gone The caravans are leaving For the dawn of nothing Lepers carry roses To Jerusalem In peace Sons bury their fathers In war Fathers bury their sons Love is silent At the edge of the universe Waiting To come in Jesus raised the dead But who Will raise the living Every time I see you pa**ing by I have to wonder why
