You can hear the grass grow And feel what the birds think But you won't drink What they give to you Prettier than sunsets Brighter than a revelation You say it's just mild sedation For your other life Your cross protects you when it's dark When you close your eyes You think with your heart You watch for the boredom Steal a seat for your visitors Seen through your eyes You laugh if the phone rings You drew it on the wall The line goes down to the floor Then fades away Your cross protects you when it's dark When you close your eyes You think with your heart Because your prettier than sunsets And brighter than a revelation
