Statues

So goodnight my dear

Hope you're feeling well

Hope you're feeling very clear

In this song and rhyme

Thoughts of changes that

Keep ourselves intact

And yes

It's hard to fake but I'm faltering

In the steps I'm about to take

I am sure it's true

What is all for me is much the same to you

If all the statues in the world

Would turn to flesh with teeth of pearl

Would they be kind enough to comfort me

The setting sun is set in stone

And it remains for me alone

To carve my own and set it free

So we wait and see

How this backward chapter reads

In verse inadvertently

And it feels like fading light

But that's all that's left

Only what's left is right

If all the statues in the world

Would turn to flesh with teeth of pear

lWould they be kind enough to comfort me

The setting sun is set in stone

And it remains for me alone

To carve my own and set it free

Jumping from a balloon

A carried aloft by a parachute in June

Twisting round and round

Well I hope the ground is what you find

The setting sun is set in stone

And it remains for me alone

To carve my own and set it free
