Standing on my aching head
Summer’s gone and autumn’s dead
Haven’t found a reason yet
To justify it all
Looking at the silhouettes
Of you and me and no regrets
Memories and cigarettes
And pieces of my soul
But this is what I’m looking for
Silence through an open door
Casualties of civil wars
Deliver me once more
Monasteries and poetry
This is where I long to be
Mother of eternity
I’m all you can afford
Mockingbirds are meant to sing
Of solitude and broken wings
Well, I’m a part of everything
I’m tearing down the walls
Dressing up acoustically
The road ahead is hard to see
But you’ll be here to comfort me
That’s all I need to know
But this is what I’m looking for
Silence through an open door
Casualties of civil wars
Deliver me once more
Monasteries and poetry
This is where I long to be
Mother of eternity
I’m all you can afford
