I remember him, he was very young
No one spoke like him, he was someone
And I carried on, like I couldn't stop
All of it for us, baby
And you, you got in my way
Stood between me and my friends
It was my sin, it was my shame
You were unconscious to the pain I was in
(I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La)
I run through the grass, I run over the stones
Down to the sea, show me the way back, honey
(I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La)
I run through the grass, I run over the stones
Show me the way back to the sea
With honor be it spoken
To understand this light that we carry
And let it light your way
Of course, you know I generally take it
Well, I make accomodations for you
And consider this
But you used to be my love
I make excuses for you
(I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La)
I run through the grass, I run over the stones
Down to the sea, show me the way back, honey
(I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La)
I run through the grass, I run over the stones
Show me the way back to the sea
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
I know you can, I've seen you do it
And it brings up the wind
And it rises around you in pillars of color
But the promise has been broken
As you walk throught the shadow of death
You try to see no evil
But you are so heartbroken
You say, "Dear God, make it stop
Before the dawn of spearation
Brings up the wind, rises around you
(I hear there'e trouble in Shangri-La)
Pillars of color (trouble in Shangri-La)
I make accommodations for you
I guess we don't believe things could go that far
We all believe in people that we think believe in God
Somewhere in the night someone feels the pain
The ones who walk away try to love again
(I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La)
I run through the grass, I run over the stones
Down to the sea, show me the way back, honey
(I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La)
I run through the grass, I run over the stones
Show me the way back to the sea
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
(Down to the sea, show me the way back, honey)
Because you are so heartbroken
(Show me the way back to the sea)
Well, you can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
(Down to the sea, show me the way back, honey)
Before the dawn of separation
(Show me the way back to the sea)
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
(Down to the sea, show me the way back, honey) ooh
I run through the grass, I run over the stones
Show me the way back
