The Sound lyrics

Album: How to Start a Fire (2003)


If I only had an ocean to compliment this sky
Id pull it down, Id paint it for you and never question why
Cause red would mean you love me
And blue would mean you care
And black my heart were left to those with cold uncaring stares
This is the burning of a dream
This is the burning of a dream

[Chorus]

The sound now turns to silence
But I keep spinning around
Naked in the rain of my own tears
As they fall into the bucket of your apologies
And im closing everyone elses eyes
Because you rowed ashore
Not to see the volume rise again

Feels like im waiting in the last hiding place on earth
Hang this noose around my neck but im saved
For one hundred thousand memories wash ashore
Be swept away by forever
Sail away from you
Now the rain has ended
So the sun can shine through me

The sound now turns to silence
But I keep spinning around
Naked in the rain of my own tears
As they fall into the bucket of your apologies
And im closing everyone elses eyes
Because you rowed ashore
Not to see the volume rise again

Only you could row my boat ashore
And only you could set my fears at rest
Couldn`t see the lack of sympathies regress
I`m still waiting
I`m still waiting for your grace

The sound now turns to silence
But I keep spinning around
Naked in the rain of my own tears
As they fall into the bucket of your apologies
And im closing everyone elses eyes
Because you rowed ashore
Not to see the volume rise again
