No one's gonna come along and line your palms with gold
And if they did, you would unfold
And if you did, you'd be wrong to take it
After all the tears and all the laughter
Your happiness is a string of disasters
Oh, what more could someone ask for?
No one's gonna say it's wrong to set alight your soul
But if you did, where would it go
With all your home in ashes?
After all the fear of showing ages
On your face like a heavy scent of time
When time is all we're after
Step wasters in the line
There we'll watch them all walk by
To the waterside
After all the fear of showing ages
On your face like a heavy scent of time
When time is all we're after
Still on all the walls, we have reminders
Of the times we left behind us
Now all your words are silence
Step wasters in the line
There we'll watch them all walk by
To the waterside
