|
Broken by the silence |
|
That echoed in my heart |
|
I couldn't help waving |
|
When the waves rushed my way |
|
And the world tilted over |
|
I saw in my dreams |
|
Things aren't the way |
|
I hoped they would be |
|
You are so kind to be civilized |
|
Don't think that I haven't noticed |
|
'Cause I've been too sad to think |
|
And too sick to care |
|
But someday I'll meet you in the cold midnight air |
|
I've been a ghost in houses I've loved |
|
I've been a stranger to heaven above |
|
But as for the world below |
|
This is the one I know |
|
My poor beloved home. |
