Full fathom five my father lies Lying to this day In empty hands, I hold the prize The pearls that were his eyes The things he didn't say In unmarked ground he wanders around Forever lost and found I wait in vain to hear him call my name Forever anyway I can almost hear him say It's no sin to move on Leave the dead in the ground Little boy blue Blow Joshua 's horn And let’s just see what comes tumbling down Waiting by my father’s grave For a sign that never comes Acceptance of the hopelessness saves So I a man become And a father to my son It's no sin to walk on Put the dead weight down Little boy blue Blow Gabriel's horn And let’s just see what comes back around In the silence words begin to form Like the distant clouds before the storm It's no sin to move on Leave the dead in the ground Little boy blue Blow Joshua 's horn And let’s just see what comes back around
