(Verse)
|
Look away, look away ? she says
|
Then the paid rider disappears in a flash of light
|
I¡¯ve come to this place to honor the moon
|
The silent spirits of the night
|
|
Look around, look around ? they say
|
Lost souls whipping black eyed birds on the washing line
|
|
(Bridge)
|
I¡¯m not still alive
|
I¡¯m a driven in this shadow play
|
With no more tears left¡¦ to cry
|
|
(Verse)
|
Someone comes with this bag of lies
|
Sprinkles dust on my wide open eyes
|
I try to speak but my mouth is frozen
|
He shakes his head and leaves¡¦ without a sound
|
Drift away, I drift away again
|
Why are the hands of the clock keep mocking time?
|
|
(Bridge)
|
I¡¯m not still alive
|
I¡¯m a driven in this shadow play
|
With no more tears left¡¦ to cry
|
|
(Chorus x2)
|
Someday I will you let you know why
|
When the morning comes
|
My head is filled with goodbyes
|
It¡¯s getting low in here in this world of mine
|
Oh when darkness falls and holds me like a lover¡¦ til sunrise
|
With no more tears left¡¦ to cry
|
