The Statue

A statue of despair
Standing in the rain
Throwing up the past
He tried to swallow it all too fast
Curiosity killed the cat
At least he was satisfied
Ignorance is bliss
The statue said and cried
The tear rolled down the stone
As the storm continued on
He's been standing their alone
For many years too long
He raises his weary head
Hoping that he can see
But time just marches on
Leaving him there to be
Leaving him there to be
You can see it in his eyes
Oh, it chills me to the bone
That he would rather die
Than stand here all alone
But what can you say
To a man that's lost his way
There's nothing you can say
Just let him run away
Just let him run away
And vanish silently
There's nothing left to see
Just let him be free
Let him run away
And vanish silently
There's nothing left to see
Just let him be free
