lyrics

There's a bird in flight and the smoke is thick
It's going to take all night but that's what it's got to be
Because the earth is here and the world is there
She's has a great idea but the world had theirs

To take green and blue and make grey and black
Got to keep moving on because there's no turning back
But through the stumps of trees and the bare soil
I know you are out there somewhere in the loneliest world

Building a tower we don't want to see
Making friends that we don't want to keep
What behooves a desert if our eyes can see
Water everywhere but not a drop to drink
And not a thought to think
And not a song to sing.
And not a lot to leave.
