lyrics
Careful how to talk when you know what to say
and I need to hear better than I've heard before.
Everyone alone unaware of the way
to be when you need to be fair.
Changes in the sky, can I tell you to wait
for when people don't need to get old anymore?
People walk around at the break of the day
and then they lie down in the air.
Do you know anyone
who will be here again?
Do I know what I mean by you?
I do know what I don't
need to say to my friend
I know because it is true.
People going by, you were there til the end,
but I could feel the train through the hard worn ground.
You can walk around and return to me then,
in a story so true that it dies.
The sun is going down in November again
and I don't know what to say when I see you all around.
I can memorize what to say to a stranger.
I remember you and your cries.
And the words that you said,
they are mine. You gave them away
and I was still.
Every leaf on the tree for life.
Do they fall
of their own freewill?
Careful how to talk when you do say your name,
the better story gets better when it's over.
Every one began with the truth and the saying of it.
How can anybody be right?
Everyone a son of the way that we came,
you can learn to fly when you're older, boy.
One and only one to the poor and the lame,
nearer than the fog to the light.
