You and I were born in a little town

Before the awful sound started coming down

Oh no, oh

You came home from school and knew you had to run

Please stop running now, just let me be the one for you

I know you can see things that we can't see

But when I say I love you, your silence covers me

Oh, Eurydice, it's an awful sound

I was so disappointed you didn't want me

Oh, how could it be, Eurydice?

I was standing beside you by a frozen sea

Will you ever get free?

Just take all your pain, just put it on me

So that you can breathe

When you fly away will you hit the ground?

It's an awful sound

I know there's a way, we can make them pay

Think it over and say, "I'm never going back again"

I know there's a way, we can leave today

Think it over and say, "I'm never going back again"

You were born in the little town

Before the awful sound started coming down

There's so much inside you that you won't let me see

You fly away from me, but it's an awful sound when you hit the ground

It's an awful sound when you hit the ground

I know there's a way, we can make them pay

Think it over and say, "I'm never going back again"

I know there's a way, we can leave today

Think it over

We know there's a price to pay for love in a reflective age

I met you up upon a stage, our love in a reflective age

Oh no, now you're gone
