The Universe

Some kingdom's on fire So are you It seems only your smoke and mine are filling this room The churchyard turned dusty grey The bells just still ring I'm still here wailing Some ghost in the grave And your name cut deeper Than a thousand years of rain ever could In that stone I loved you more, I loved you more, I loved you more than the world could take... The wind stole all those words That I never could say They held me for ransom And like some old tree lain on its side All my roots stood beside me But I was all hollow inside I loved you more, I loved you more, I loved you more than the world could take... And I cursed at that universe As I stood in her palms And the seasons she'd stole Made it all cold While she's spinning that globe For better or worse we don't know But she lights up those stones for us When it all goes black I loved you more, I loved you more, I loved you more than the world could take...
