Just as a bleeding wound dries
I found a road, and left home
And as the mountain is high
I took your tears and went on
Tears sing for sleep
But lonely nights weep
You know my heart is falling asleep
And you'd paint the sky, to see me believe you
And I know my heart has fallen asleep
And you'll still remain, and I'll change to see you
Remembering every disguise
I found a way to lead on
Just as my heart has run dry
With blood and bone, I miss home
