Coda

Sculpted clay, paper scraps

Bits of wood, old belt straps

Everyone is looking for their friend

Hearts, balloons and broken wings

Puppet dangling by his strings

And dreams of who is at the other end

And we are working upon this canvas

And it is perfect

And it is madness

We are only just beginning

We're only just beginning

To unearth this ancient sadness

See them scurry and toil

Watch them sift through the soil

Something very large is burried in this ground

Yes, they've torn the surface all apart

Never even glimpsed the heart

They're going to have to go much deeper down

And we are working upon this canvas

And it is perfect

And it is madness

But we are only just beginning

We're only just beginning

To unearth this ancient sadness

They've packed up the tents and stages

Put the lions back in cages

Yes, the carnival is over for the year

And it's sad to watch the party end

But I'm still looking for my friend

And oh, some how she's never been so near

And we are working upon this canvas

And it is perfect

Perfect madness

But we are only just beginning

We're only just beginning

To unearth this ancient sadness

We are only just beginning

We're only just beginning

Only just beginning

We've only just begun

And hearts will fly

Only just beginning

And hearts begin to fly

Only just beginning

And hearts begin to fly
