When you walked away at dawn, I heard your song

And now it's on my mind

You made a design on the right side of my heart, it may be wrong

But it wasn't black or white

Wonderin' when I look at your life, if I caught you dead and numb

If you were only just a dreamer

If we were all night

When you were dead, I took you by your head

When you were dead, I took you by your head

What a wasted ode to hope, my heart is on the line

Starin' at the time

And I gazed, amazed while a quiet storm was born inside your eyes

All dressed in black and white

Wonderin' when I look at your life, if I caught you dead and numb

Thought you were only just a shadow

But you were all light

When you were dead, I took you by your head

When you were dead, I took you by your head

When you were dead, I took you by your head

When you were dead, I took you by your head

When you were dead, I took you by your head

When you were dead, I took you by your head

When you were dead, I took you by your head

When you were dead, I took you by your head

And then you were dead and we look at the time you spent

And when you were dead, made you return

When you were dead, I took you by your head

When you were dead, I took you by your head

When you were dead, I took you by your head

When you were dead, I took you by your head
