Lyrics
A Quiet Darkness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well Heaven rode my back
And the angels dragged my throne
Only yesterday
Only yesterday
I carved out your name
Only yesterday
I built you a shrine
On the side of the road
And I shut my eyes
And laid my hands to rest
In dreams
There's a way
To die
Well I towed you from the wreck
Of dimming shadows in my head
Only yesterday
Only yesterday
I laid you to rest
Only yesterday
I wept for your shape
In it's endless decay
And I raised your voice from a stone
With the song of the dead
In dreams
There's a way
To die
