LYRICS "THE GARDENS AND GRAVES"

THE GARDENS AND GRAVES

I turned around
you ran ahead
we walked together through the gardens and graves

do you hear the wind
whispering my name
all life has gone from my soul

we left footprints
deep in the snow
but now the wind had erased them all

when the black waves come
and you just let go
one door closes but the window is open

I turned around
you ran ahead
we walked together through the gardens and graves

on the streets of Lisbon
selling valves to beggars
who let their dogs dance

and I struggle
oh yes I do
I’d lay my life down for you

reclaiming my soul
on a different road
all beauty comes with a lesson

sever the string
sever the string
