Between what passes for days and dreams
You say you can't forget these chains and things
Though the task is quickening
All around you
They held you down and you held on
In a hurricane of flesh and bone
You stopped the bullet now they're gone
But they surround you
If I could tell you sweeter
I would walk the line
Wash it clean for you
Just one more time
It's the same old story
It's the same old cold dead cry
But it ain't no cryin of mine
Ain't no cryin of mine
Ain't no cryin of mine
Ain't no cryin of mine
I saw you in a dream last night
Like you were trying to say goodbye
As if standing thin and ghostly
Were the only voice that you could find
When the fire in your belly turns to smoke
It rises up and it pushes through your bones
And all these dreams just turn into the ghosts
Of the things that you used to be
If I could tell you sweeter I would walk the line
And wash it clean for you
Just one more time
It's the same old story
It's the same old cold dead cry
But it ain't no cryin of mine
It ain't no cryin of mine
It ain't no cryin of mine
It ain't no cryin of mine
It ain't no cryin of mine
I seen a Lion in the garden
Walkin on two feet
Says he wants to come and talk with me
Lion in the garden
Makes me weak
The color and the sound cut into me
Lion in the garden
Walkin on two feet
Says he wants to come and talk with me
Lion in the garden
Makes me weak
The color and the sound cut into me
And it ain't no cryin of mine
Ain't no cryin of mine
Ain't no cryin of mine
Ain't no cryin of mine
Ooooh oh
Oooooh oh oh
Oooooh oh
Ooooooh oh oh
