I've been old since my eyes opened Teach me kindness, show me cold I've been awake too long, too long Young and crying, eyes like prey I see you in my head when I count my mistakes I know where you're going baby you won't make it there You won't make it there A world of green men, and they don't know what sadness is You have smelled this country's breath, you put children on your back You can't stay here, in this place Dark corridors, long hallway of my life Making oceans hours move slow Rivers are endless, I see them through I suffer on with you, I suffer on with you Five cold years pass like light I remember you will know love I am on my way to you I am Saint Joseph I will call your name And I will lift you from the night You've been silent all your life, you've been whispering your goodbyes You can't stay here in my arms Your soldiers, they mean you harm Don't lie girl, don't even look me in the eye
