lyrics
i see faces in the leaves
i hear voices in the wind
a cold touch of empty as i stare up into space
the night sky reaching down to kiss my lips, make me grin
i hear voices from the earth
and i see the cracks growing wide
i slip and slide inside and peer into the dark
i can't recall that voice of love tho' i tried
walking the road of lonely
your shoes and your friends are worn
the blurr of time a passin'
each moment dies as it's born
you enter a darkened doorway
the music inside is loud
you figure, smoke and drink will cleanse your wounds
but you find yourself more damaged by the crowd
angry faces in the leaves
lonely voices in the winds
a mocking touch of pity as i stare up into space
night sky showers chuckles then a nasty laugh begins
i feel judgment from the earth
a call to relinquish seven lies
i choose to peer inside into the dark
and still i can't recall that voice of love tho' i tried
as i saunter my thoughts roam wildly
many worn notions tired and old
any comfort offered over long years
now weights me down like fool's embedded gold
another darkness with air so dank
something fresh about the cool
echos of a grief so hushed but still ringing
i abandon all my choices as a rule
peaceful faces in the leaves
soothing voices in the winds
awe…. i stare up into space
silence from the vast feels like a grace
i hear voices from that child
and feel the cracks growing wide
i slip and slide inside and peer into the past
i see that flow of love around and inside
walking the road of lonely
your shoes and your friends are worn
the blurr of time a passin'
each moment dies as it's born
walking the road of lonely
your shoes and your friends are worn
the blurr of time a passin'
each moment dies as it's born
