lyrics

You know the way it gets in London
The soakin' streets are filled with nothin'
But the northern wind that comes so suddenly

The bus is come and gone again
I threw a rock into the Thames
And where it sank I will not ever see

And mine the mind of many questions
The learner of a thousand lessons
And the dreamer of a thousand faded dreams

And you the one that kept me guessin'
A silence loud enough to deafen
The melodies that once were life to me
Life to me
Life to me

And maybe someday we will learn
And hear at last the hinges turn
The rusted iron broken in our hands

I'll gather up the hyacinths
And take a turn about the garden
Thinking of these castles in the sand

But now the clouds walk low and silent
A glimpse of blue beyond the iron
As you walk the lonely castle of your mind

And as I live amidst the silence
I dream of days beyond the iron
When speaking isn't such a tragic thing
Tragedy
Tragedy

(Repeat "And maybe...tragic thing")

And as I live amidst the silence
I dream of days beyond the iron
When living isn't such a tragic thing
Tragedy
Tragedy
