[00:35]Lying on my bed, I was reading French [00:38]With the light too bright for my senses [00:43]From this hiding place life was way too much [00:47]It was loud and rough round the edges [00:51]So I faced the wall when an old man called [00:55]Out of dreams that I would die there [00:58]But a sight unseen, you were pulling strings [01:03]You had a different idea [01:07]I was like a child, I was lying strong [01:10]And my father lifted me up there [01:14]Took me to a place where they checked my body [01:18]My soul was floating in thin-air [01:22]I clung to the bed and I clung to the past [01:26]I clung to the welcome darkness [01:29]But at the end of the night there's a green green light [01:34]The quiet before the madness [01:37]There was a girl that sang like the chime of a bell [01:41]And she put out her arm, she touched me when I was in hell [01:48]When I was in hell [01:53]Someone sang a song and I sang along [01:57]Cause I knew the words from my childhood [02:01]Intellect ambition they fell away [02:04]And they locked me up for my own good [02:08]But I didn't mind, cause the silence was kind [02:12]It spoke to me in whispers [02:16]There was the sound of the wind and the cold cold dawn [02:19]And the quiet hum of business [02:23]Let me dangle awhile in this waiting room [02:27]I don't need to go I don't need to know what you're doing [02:35]Know what you're doing [03:10]Lying on my side you were half awake [03:13]And your face was tired and crumpled [03:18]If I had a camera I'd snap you now [03:21]Cause there's beauty in every stumble [03:25]We are out of practice we're out of sight [03:29]On the edge of nobody's empire [03:33]And if we live by books and we live by hope [03:37]Does that make us targets for gunfire? [03:41]Now I look at you, you're a mother of two [03:45]You're a quiet revolution [03:49]Marching with the crowd, singing dirty and loud [03:53]For the people's emancipation [03:56]Did I do okay, did I pave the way? [04:01]Was I strong when you were wanting? [04:04]I was tied to the yoke with a decent bloke [04:08]Who was stern but never daunting [04:12]And he told me to push and he made me feel well [04:16]He told to me to leave that vision of hell to the dying [04:23]Oh to the dying
