lyrics

The sun was falling away from the earth
As you got up to leave.
I'll wait and I'll take the night for all that it's worth,
Until I am what it is that I would be.

We can't control the water or the places that we go,
But I pray that you make it to the sea.
The hours that we spent, the minutes silent and slow,
Were the quietest of the hours to me.

But what did my lover say?
And what did the others say?
They said that you can try
But you won't always find out why,
And I looked out at the world in dismay.

If I found us a house with trees all around,
Could we leave our guilt behind?
We never will be lost because we never can be found:
With the blind telling lies to the blind.

I'd take you by the hand and I would lead you there,
But it's not like I know any more than you.
I haven't been told what's wrong or what is fair,
What it is that we should do.

But what did my lover say?
And what did the others say?
They said that you can try
But you won't always find out why,
And I looked out at the world in dismay.
