Lines

I built a home there in the trees With splintered hands And bruised and bloodied knees One day your voice came riding on the breeze: "Ooh, ooh. You don't have to be alone, you don't have to be alone, you don't have to be alone" (x2) Your voice touched my skin and filled my bones It's running through the trees Like the wind that blows You set my words alive like skipping stones: "Ooh, ooh." I thought I had to be alone, I thought I had to be alone I thought I had to be alone. (x2) Empty out my pockets full of light Filling riverbeds With tears turned dry The earth claps its hands in perfect time: "Ooh, ooh." No more singing all alone, no more singing all alone No more singing all alone. (x2) The clock grows old in the grandfather sky The lock grows cold just waiting for me to die And all of the wrinkles that my tears have left behind: They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines!
