He doesn't talk much anymore
Just to the voices in his head
The boy just gazed down at the floor
And nodded once or twice
At what she said

My boy and me
We're refugees of sorts
From my hometown
They don't like different there
They would've mowed us down

So, what in the world are we whispering for?
Everyone's naked, there's nothing to hide

We are who we are
Or we're not
But at least
We'll eventually all fall asleep
Eventually all fall asleep

They say all roads lead to a river
Then one day the river comes up to your door
How will the builder of bridges deliver us all
To the faraway shore?

The bedroom breathes in clicks and clacks
Uneasy heartbeat, can't relax
But then your hand takes mine
Thank God I found you in time

It's easy to be generous when you're on a roll
It's hard to be grateful when you're out of control

Trust your intuition.
It's just like goin' fishin'.
You cast your line and hope you get a bite. But you don't need to waste your time worrying about the marketplace,
Try to help the human race.
Struggling to survive its harshest hour.

I'm gonna watch you shine, gonna watch you grow.
Gonna paint a sign so you'll always know.
As long as one and one is two. There could never be a father who loved
His daughter more than I love you.

I am walking up the face of the mountain. Counting every step I climb. Remembering the names of the constellations. Forgotten is a long, long time.

The light through the stained glass was cobalt and red.
And the frayed cuffs and collars were mended by halos of golden thread.
The choir sang, "Once Upon a Time There Was An Ocean."
And all the old hymns and family names came fluttering down as leaves of emotion. As nothing is different, but everything's changed.

Once upon a time there was an ocean.
But now it's a mountain range.
Something unstoppable put into motion.
Nothing is different, but everything's changed.

Maybe the heart is part of the mist. And that's all that there is or could ever exist. Maybe and maybe and maybe some more. Maybe's the exit that I'm looking for.

"The universe loves a drama," you know. And ladies and gentlemen this is the show.

Little kid dancin' in the grass, legs like rubber band.
It's summertime, summertime. There's a line at the candy stand.
Keep an eye on them children, eye on them children in the pool.
You'd better keep an eye on them children, eye on them children in the pool.
