Spinning, laughing, dancing to
her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
Is all alone
Eyes wide open
Always hoping for the sun
And she’ll sing her song to anyone
that comes along
Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin’ to the ground
Without a sound
Crooked little smile on her face
Tells a tale of grace
That’s all her own
Spinning, laughing, dancing to her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
And she’s all alone
Coming down before you
Is easier than spillin’ on the ground
Pour my soul inside you
It’s all that you can do now to spit it out
Fallen down around you
Another name to pick up off the floor
Colors bleed right through you
It’s from your mouth where your true colors pour
Now i’m rearin’ my ugly head
Spinnin’ wheels and blinded
Took seven years to find it
But i’m learning to fly
Fallin’ down around you
Walls are leaning hard on your grace
Crumble in and abort you
Wreckin’ ball the walls of this place
Rear my ugly head
Took seven years to find it
But i’m learning to fly
Haven’t seen the sun for seven days
November’s got her nails dug in deep
Haven’t seen my son for seven years
and the chances are we’ll never again meet
If truth be told I don’t even know his name
If truth be told he doesn’t even know my name
I spend my spare time with my rosary beads
although I never learnt to pray
but you don’t need the light
and it’s best to pretend
that you’ve seen the errors of your ways
The darkness in here
is as heavy as a judgement
This darkness, heavy as a judgement
My dreams are now filled with Gilead trees
and other sights that I’ve never seen
They used to be filled
with the fears of tomorrow
and the horror that it might bring
His eyes felt to me
as cold as a stone mason’s chisel
His eyes fell on me, cold
like a stone mason’s chisel
Strange how a mind can always recall
what the senses eagerly leave behind
I can remember his face, rage,
disgust and distaste
but to my fear I have grown blind
Memories are just dead men making trouble
this memory is just a dead man making trouble
How did i love you?
There was no measuring
Far above this dirty world
Far above everything
In your tower over it
You were clean
So warm and insightful
Were you in my eyes
I was sure the rightful
Guardian of my life
Damn you betrayer
How you lied
But for seven years
You were loved
I laid golden orchid crowns
Around your feet
For seven years
I bowed down
To touch the ground
So wholly your devotee
You were
All i could see
I’ve got my sight now
I see everything you hid
So don’t you try to right now
All the wrong you did
I might forget you
But never forgive
But for seven years
You were loved
I laid golden orchid crowns
Around your feet
For seven years
I bowed down
To touch the ground
So wholly your devotee
For seven years
You were so revered
I made offerings of
Anything and everything i had
You were
All i could see
How did i love you?
There was no measuring

Far above everything
In your tower over it
You were clean
