Lyrics
0:31As your loved ones they place
0:33Heavy stones on your face
0:36Your sonnets of life
0:37They are filling the case
0:40High windows inside me
0:42Look down on your face
0:59Changing white fingers
1:00For men in the sand
1:03Burning bright spears
1:05That you hold in your hand
1:07Grey children you've spawned
1:09They just won't understand
2:08As the slow pulse of sobbing
2:11Dries from the sky
2:13My grief in red circles
2:15Surrounding an eye
2:17Grey child stands looking
2:19And passes on by
As your loved ones they place Heavy stones on your face Your sonnets of life They are filling the case High windows inside me Look down on your face Changing white fingers For men in the sand Burning bright spears That you hold in your hand Grey children you've spawned They just won't understand As the slow pulse of sobbing Dries from the sky My grief in red circles Surrounding an eye Grey child stands looking And passes on by
