lyrics

Is there no one to hear my small story
about the green mile that led me to gray,
about the breakdowns and the blue light, abounding,
and the memories that won't go away

and the memories that won't go away?

Who sang a song, sweeter than fiction
as the sirens lay, blinded, aside?
Where faceless in grace stood the poor man,
awakened was the rage within the child

awakened was the rage in the child.

And the voices again make their case in the rain;
on the sidewalks, their secrets unfold
and the curtain falls free like all sad songs should be,
like the voice that won't let them grow cold

like the voice that won't let them grow cold.

That night in your car in late winter;
the last time I prayed understand;
the window you touched frosted over,
little ice rainbows fell from your hand

little ice rainbows fell from your hand.

You said "Wicked is the worrisome warrior",
and in patchwork abandon, you smiled...
In the vaguest of our plastic passions
the angel does rage in the child

the angel does rage in the child.

And the voices again make their case in the rain;
on the sidewalks, their secrets unfold
and the curtain falls free like all sad songs should be,
like the voice that won't let them grow cold

like the voice that won't let them grow cold.
