Hey you on the lonely roads
Hey you in the morning bright
I've only borrowed you
Hey you who cannot talk
Hey you so close to sleep
You only borrowed me
Hey you with the crying eyes
Hey there on the softest sea
You've only borrowed me
Hey you in the bath of sky
Hey you in the kitchen light
I've only borrowed you
Hey you in the great beyond
Hey you who will not be gone
I've only borrowed you
Hey you by the train window
Hey you in the darkest room
I've only borrowed you
