lyrics
Once a grassland, now a wasteland
barren by, a jealous tide
swept away a history
a genesis of memories
of you and I
Once a highway, now a dry lane
stretches beyond, the breaking dawn
traces of the pavement weigh
like pebbles underneath the lake
and we live on
in mere nursery songs...
I left roses in the garden
petals on the bed for you
we’ve lived a belly full
loved a many who,
couldn’t shield us from the arrows pointed to the truth.
I left roses in the garden
petals for the funeral
I pray we’ll meet again
I’d rather wait then say
that this is how this tale has got to end.
So, farewell for now, till then...
Where stood a gold mine, now a coal mine
a yellow glow, has turned to stone
Vibrant colored ruby eyes
are vacant in a new disguise of emperors clothes
Arms once open, since have caved in
rubble born, from mountain storms
patiently I still await
for comfort from in a warm embrace
but wind just blows
and it’s turned me cold…
I left roses in the garden
petals on the bed for you
we’ve lived a belly full
loved a many who,
couldn’t shield us from the arrows pointed to the truth.
I left roses in the garden
petals for the funeral
I pray we’ll meet again
I’d rather wait then say
that this is how this tale has got to end.
So, farewell for now, till then...
barren by, a jealous tide
swept away a history
a genesis of memories
of you and I
Once a highway, now a dry lane
stretches beyond, the breaking dawn
traces of the pavement weigh
like pebbles underneath the lake
and we live on
in mere nursery songs...
I left roses in the garden
petals on the bed for you
we’ve lived a belly full
loved a many who,
couldn’t shield us from the arrows pointed to the truth.
I left roses in the garden
petals for the funeral
I pray we’ll meet again
I’d rather wait then say
that this is how this tale has got to end.
So, farewell for now, till then...
Where stood a gold mine, now a coal mine
a yellow glow, has turned to stone
Vibrant colored ruby eyes
are vacant in a new disguise of emperors clothes
Arms once open, since have caved in
rubble born, from mountain storms
patiently I still await
for comfort from in a warm embrace
but wind just blows
and it’s turned me cold…
I left roses in the garden
petals on the bed for you
we’ve lived a belly full
loved a many who,
couldn’t shield us from the arrows pointed to the truth.
I left roses in the garden
petals for the funeral
I pray we’ll meet again
I’d rather wait then say
that this is how this tale has got to end.
So, farewell for now, till then...
