I'm cold in this country,
stones in my heart
People look, but unfriendly,
the days are too dark
Stars glitter like diamonds,
ice falls in the air
The shadows ain't talking and the
silence just stands
I remember these rooms like
pieces of glass
Memory plays tricks, it's too full of cracks
Time is now what it once used to be
It tugs at my back where used to face me
I dream of a mother whose ashes I want
I dream of a father not part of his life
I think of a brother whose faith I could find I
dream of a child growing out of my sight
What is more empty than the
depth of our heart?
What ocean is wider than that?
When the farthest shore
ever is forever apart
So distance more sadder than sand
What could be sadder than
that?
The sun is now fading
on the books on the shelf
The garden is waiting for somebody else
I remember the words,
they're all I have left
They're pictures of time,
I remember the years
I know a hotel where they
don't ask your name
A room without a bed,
walls colored with pain
A room with no future,
a room with no past
Where alone we'll be inside,
cause alone our days will last
I dream of a mother whose ashes are white, I dream of a father now part of the light,
I think of a brother who'd faithfully confide, I dream of a child growing out of my sight.
What is more empty than
the depth of our heart?
What ocean is wider than that?
When the farthest shore
ever is forever apart
It's a distance more sad than sin
What could be sadder than that?
I look at the river, frozen and black
You know if it takes ya,
it ain't comin' back
I look at the sky, crimson and red
The sun's sinkin' fast,
it's takin' my head
It's cold in this country,
stones in my heart
People look but aren't friendly,
the days are too dark
Stars glitter like diamonds,
ice falls from the air
The shadows ain't talking,
the silence just dead
I dream of a mother whose ashes are white. I dream of a father now part of the light. I
think of a brother whose faith I could fight. I dream of a child growing out of my sight.
What is more empty than the
depth of our heart?
What ocean is wider than that?
When the farthest shore
ever is forever apart
It's a distance more sadder than sad
What could be sadder than that?
You
