| I've been old since my eyes opened |
| Teach me kindness, show me cold |
| I've been awake too long, too long |
| Young and crying, eyes like prey |
| I see you in my head when I count my mistakes |
| I know where you're going, baby |
| You won't make it there, you |
| You won't make it there |
| A world of green men |
| And they don't know what sadness is |
| You have smelled this country's breath |
| You put children on your back |
|
| You can't stay here, in this place |
| Dark corridors, long hallway of my life |
|
| Making oceans hours move slow |
| Rivers are endless, I see them through |
| I suffer on with you, I suffer on with you |
| Five cold years pass like light |
| I remember you will know love |
| I am on my way to you, I am Saint Joseph |
| I will call your name |
| And I will lift you from the night |
| You've been silent all your life |
| You've been whispering your goodbyes |
|
| You can't stay here in my arms |
| Your soldiers, they mean you harm |
|
| Don't lie, girl |
| Don't even look me in the eye |
|
