It's night You open your eyes Some sweat's in your head The houses Let's get out of breath And the leaves are all Wrinkled and dead Your hair is a mess Your skin and your dress Are sprinkled with dust In the corner you caught on a nail Don't cry With a will to survive The ghost from the past Will come back to us now In the night with the houses alive And they paint themselves white With shadows of red The world in your hand from the Grave to the warmth of a hospital bed And back to your feet How tender we beat For the sound in the doubt is to Quiet the cries in their sleep
