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 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



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
