|
Darlin', don't you understand? |
|
That there are no winners? |
|
Or metals hung from silken strands |
|
To greet you at the finish |
|
As we're dissolving into the sea |
|
I only take what I can carry |
|
As the council's combing through our debris |
|
For the treasures we never buried |
|
My love, why do you run? |
|
For my hands hold no guns |
|
Darling though you may pretend |
|
Pretend that you are selfless |
|
You break with but the slightest bend |
|
That leaves you lost and helpless |
|
So to whom will you place the call? |
|
In the coldest night of winter? |
|
As numbers change and people fall |
|
And friends, they always splinter |
|
My love, why do you run? |
|
For my hands hold no guns |
|
My love, why do you run? |
|
For my hands hold no guns |
|
They hold no guns |
|
No, not one |
