歌詞
[Verse 1]
How lovely a find
That's entered my mind
Along this mossy trail
How coyly it hides
The truth about how it is
We can't ask how
[Verse 2]
Crowds jump to their death
From the bridge
As I drive by tonight
And they've missed
Out on it all
[Verse 3]
The whole gist there as they fall
You're not expected to know
Why it's such a short time
And there are stanzas
Never meant to rhyme
[Verse 4]
Far better I find
It is when we try to span
The weird divide
With no real rational
We step out of bounds
And think and escape
Their lies
[Verse 5]
We've marched so long
And we've much farther
Than we've gone to go
We're makin' a new ship
Christen it for the trip
With a toddler at the helm this time
And there are things we never will define
[Verse 6]
Crowds jump to their deaths
From the bridge
As I drive by tonight
And they missed
Out on it all
The whole gist there as they fall
You're not expected to know
Why it's such a short time
And there are things we never will define
