In a lonely dream a boy goes walking
|
Drowned in shame, drunken with emotion
|
He says his world is just an ocean
|
Says his poor heart too many times been broken
|
|
The bones in your closet
|
Once bore the skin of your fathers
|
Guess that means it's out of your hands
|
Or you're too tired, too tired to bother
|
|
Help me now, save the wandering child
|
|
Now that you're broken, who'll clean up this mess
|
Now that your vision is blinded, I guess
|
You say "where do I fall, now that my strength is gone
|
And who do I tell, 'I've done nothing wrong'"
|
|
Float upon the river till the water runs still
|
Dive to the bottom-got to drink from the well
|
Till I find who I am, till I find out who I am
|
Now that there's no one to show me
|
|
Help me now, save the wandering child
|
Help me now, save the wandering child
|
|
In a lonely dream a boy keeps walking
|
Drowned in shame, drunken with emotion
|
He says his kill-it is his crown
|
Says his angels are no longer looking down
|
|
A horse and a monkey, no kids and no wife
|
A hell of a way for a hero to spend his life
|
Time to unearth the worm
|
Let this bridge fall down and burn
|
|
Help me now, save the wandering child
|
Help me now, save the wandering child
|
Help me now, save the wandering child
|
Help me now, save the wandering child
|
