I never leave the mirror until I see my father
I walk like the old man, one step slowly then the other
I sit quietly by the window and watch them all move quickly by
There′s a song caught between my teeth, I'm sucking on a lullaby
I know what I know
It only comes with time
When your blood begins to feel
The pull of sunset′s tide
When the winter can't stop the bloom
And the end is long delayed
I will show you that small room
White sheets, white light, flowers on the wall
Oh my bones, oh my bones
I recall my younger days of ignorance and days of pride
But the mask can grow into the skin until one day you just die
Now I'm invisible like a blackbird′s shadow
My face is just reflected in your rippled shallow water
But here art is more precious than seen through eyes
If our blood has the pierced pull of sunset′s tide
When the winter can't stop the bloom
And the end is long delayed
I will show you that small room
White sheets, white light, flowers on the wall
Oh my bones, oh my bones
When the winter can′t stop the bloom
And the end is long delayed
I will show you that small room
White sheets, white light, flowers on the wall
Oh my bones, oh my bones
