There's a game that's always played
And always won by fools
But everyone I know
Would rather never play than lose
There's a place where the innocent stand
Proud before the firing squad
There's a church at the end of the path
Where the sound meets beware of the God
There's you in the alley
There's me walking away
Those three words still hang in the air
I swore I would never say
x2
So hold on now just hold on a minute
This car's not leaving if you're not in it
You've no idea how lucky we are
A wound that deep would normally scar
I heard there was a place where the light
Managed to cut through the dark
But that was just a story for children
And my chest is just a grave for my heart
There's a phone that's always ringin'
Answer and a child will say
I'd rather take my own life
Than give it away
And as you wander the west-way
For to hide from the rain
And I'm taking your picture
To be sure that I'll see you again
x2
And I see willows holding hands
Hurt birds singing harmony
The bodies of water's caressed by land
And the river's mouth is kissing the sea all right
