The edges of the curtains were golden and blurred Lay and watched the shadows move like silence falling on a church This fatigue seems to be spreading out like wildfire through my bones 'Cause I can't see straight in this thickening haze Of resentment to these days that leave us alone Words don't pierce this ringing in my ears I'm just watching as these minutes disappear I walked about an hour as the light went down 'Cause I was trying to get some air while you were trying not to drown And I'm painfully aware life can be plucked out as a hair And I'm somewhere else almost anywhere And neglecting time that I won't get back oh no Words don't pierce this ringing in my ears I'm just watching as these minutes disappear The chorus of the birds are bringing in the light And I'm shuffling down L. Lane tonight And I've been dreaming of the day, oh for now it's out of sight Shuffling down L. Lane tonight Words don't pierce this ringing in my ears I'm just watching as these minutes disappear The chorus of the birds are bringing in the light And I'm shuffling down L. Lane tonight And I've been dreaming of the day oh for now it's out of sight Shuffling down L. Lane tonight
