[00:35.000] Lying on my bed, I was reading French
[00:38.000] With the light too bright for my senses
[00:43.000] From this hiding place life was way too much
[00:47.000] It was loud and rough round the edges
[00:51.000] So I faced the wall when an old man called
[00:55.000] Out of dreams that I would die there
[00:58.000] But a sight unseen, you were pulling strings
[01:03.000] You had a different idea
[01:07.000] I was like a child, I was lying strong
[01:10.000] And my father lifted me up there
[01:14.000] Took me to a place where they checked my body
[01:18.000] My soul was floating in thin-air
[01:22.000] I clung to the bed and I clung to the past
[01:26.000] I clung to the welcome darkness
[01:29.000] But at the end of the night there's a green green light
[01:34.000] The quiet before the madness
[01:37.000] There was a girl that sang like the chime of a bell
[01:41.000] And she put out her arm, she touched me when I was in hell
[01:48.000] When I was in hell
[01:53.000] Someone sang a song and I sang along
[01:57.000] Cause I knew the words from my childhood
[02:01.000] Intellect ambition they fell away
[02:04.000] And they locked me up for my own good
[02:08.000] But I didn't mind, cause the silence was kind
[02:12.000] It spoke to me in whispers
[02:16.000] There was the sound of the wind and the cold cold dawn
[02:19.000] And the quiet hum of business
[02:23.000] Let me dangle awhile in this waiting room
[02:27.000] I don't need to go I don't need to know what you're doing
[02:35.000] Know what you're doing
[03:10.000] Lying on my side you were half awake
[03:13.000] And your face was tired and crumpled
[03:18.000] If I had a camera I'd snap you now
[03:21.000] Cause there's beauty in every stumble
[03:25.000] We are out of practice we're out of sight
[03:29.000] On the edge of nobody's empire
[03:33.000] And if we live by books and we live by hope
[03:37.000] Does that make us targets for gunfire?
[03:41.000] Now I look at you, you're a mother of two
[03:45.000] You're a quiet revolution
[03:49.000] Marching with the crowd, singing dirty and loud
[03:53.000] For the people's emancipation
[03:56.000] Did I do okay, did I pave the way?
[04:01.000] Was I strong when you were wanting?
[04:04.000] I was tied to the yoke with a decent bloke
[04:08.000] Who was stern but never daunting
[04:12.000] And he told me to push and he made me feel well
[04:16.000] He told to me to leave that vision of hell to the dying
[04:23.000] Oh to the dying
