Why must you wait
Why must you wait
Why must you wait for the sky to
fall
Your brittle fingers your eyes
I recall
your shy heart and your stone
walls
why must I wait when you have
not called
You've never been kissed
never been kissed
never been kissed by the paper
prince
you light your fires of words on
pyres
you'll never be what your mind
desires
you only imagine what it is that
you have missed
And its gone long gone
in the fearless hum
of a lonely song
I am a child
I am a child
I am a child of waiting
the tears will fall upon my
strings
I'll bow my head and my voice
will sing
I never knew how tightly I could
cling
we never can change
never can change
never can change or wash the
stains
but who am I to hold the reigns
The stead I ride she has no name
And its gone long gone
in the fearless hum
of a lonely song
No one will know
no one will know
no one will know how the end of
it goes
the story that has already been
told
our eyes were closed through the
rhythm and prose
we will wake as the last line
closes
And its gone long gone
in the fearless hum
And its gone long gone
in the fearless hum
And its gone long gone
in the fearless hum
of a lonely song
