Lyrics

[00:20.73] Under the silence of water,
[00:25.02] Into a sky full of birds
[00:29.50] Out from the land of our fathers,
[00:33.69] I am falling on your words,
[00:37.67] Oh...
[00:43.15] Dark as the night of a preacher,
[00:47.78] I made a bed out of hay
[00:52.02] They paid me a handful of money,
[00:56.45] I gave it all away...
[01:00.08] All away...
[01:04.78] And the righteous raised their stones
[01:09.72] And the devil threw his arrow
[01:14.18] That was longing for a home
[01:19.11] With nowhere to go,
[01:22.95] Oh, Theo...
[01:38.18] In the half-life of the city,
[01:42.17] She took off all of her clothes
[01:46.41] I flew from the height of the mountains
[01:50.44] Into a valley of dry bones
[01:55.16] All alone
[01:59.26] Then my heart was still unknown
[02:04.13] I was drunk and full of sorrows
[02:08.61] I was longing for a home
[02:13.61] With nowhere to go,
[02:17.54] Oh, Theo...
[03:01.60] So, I set fires of starlight,
[03:04.89] To burn up against the despair
[03:08.73] I was caught in the tangles of midnight's
[03:13.76] Long, unanswered prayer:
[03:17.40] 'Are you there?'
[03:22.00] And the light of morning grows
[03:26.51] On a field of fallen sparrows
[03:31.03] I was longing for a home
[03:35.67] With nowhere to go,
[03:39.80] Oh, Theo...
[03:50.31] Ahh, ahh, ahh
[03:54.89] Ahh, ahh, ahh
