Lyrics

Nevermore

The sparrow fell on Tuesday morn
No thunder came, we had no warning
The garden grows where the cruel have walked
While the gentle ones were picked too young

And I have seen the wicked grow
In borrowed light, in borrowed soil
While something pure is quietly gone
A world that's warmed by mourning sons

The candle burns in an empty room ?No one left to read the light ?The ones who stayed are still debating ?What it means to do things right

Some doors won't open anymore
Nevermore, nevermore


The river bends but never answers
Why the wolf outlives the lamb
I've been looking for a reason in the ashes
But they've all turned to sand

And I have watched the hollow laughter ?Fill the rooms the good ones left ?While something gently moved through doorways ?Long before it took his breath

And somewhere in the long forgetting
A name still moves inside the wind
Not asking why, just simply drifting
Through a world that's always been

Some doors won't open anymore
Nevermore, nevermore
