Sculpted clay, paper scraps Bits of wood, old belt straps Everyone is looking for their friend Hearts, balloons and broken wings Puppet dangling by his strings And dreams of who is at the other end And we are working upon this canvas And it is perfect And it is madness We are only just beginning We're only just beginning To unearth this ancient sadness See them scurry and toil Watch them sift through the soil Something very large is burried in this ground Yes, they've torn the surface all apart Never even glimpsed the heart They're going to have to go much deeper down And we are working upon this canvas And it is perfect And it is madness But we are only just beginning We're only just beginning To unearth this ancient sadness They've packed up the tents and stages Put the lions back in cages Yes, the carnival is over for the year And it's sad to watch the party end But I'm still looking for my friend And oh, some how she's never been so near And we are working upon this canvas And it is perfect Perfect madness But we are only just beginning We're only just beginning To unearth this ancient sadness We are only just beginning We're only just beginning Only just beginning We've only just begun And hearts will fly Only just beginning And hearts begin to fly Only just beginning And hearts begin to fly
