Lyrics

Well morning came and it dressed the sky
In a lovely, yellow gown
Now they shops they are all opening
In that narrow hallway of downtown
Filled with people who are shopping for
Their lovers and their friends
So they won't ever be lonely again
Well a forest fenced
Becomes backyards where songs are born from sound
And an apple fell
And it taught us all we are chained here to the ground
So, here we go, but there ain't no escape
These streets are just dead ends
So I won't ever be happy again
Now it seems that you too see a
Painful blue when you stare into the sky
You could never understand
The motions of a hand waving goodbye
But as the story goes, or it is often told
A new day will arise and
All the dance halls will be full
Of skeletons that are coming back to life
And on a grassy hill the
Lion will lay down with the lamb
And I won't ever be lonely again
But until that time I think i
Had better find some disbelief to suspend
Because I don't want to feel like this again
