A statue of despair Standing in the rain Throwing up the past He tried to swallow it all too fast Curiosity killed the cat At least he was satisfied Ignorance is bliss The statue said and cried The tear rolled down the stone As the storm continued on He's been standing their alone For many years too long He raises his weary head Hoping that he can see But time just marches on Leaving him there to be Leaving him there to be You can see it in his eyes Oh, it chills me to the bone That he would rather die Than stand here all alone But what can you say To a man that's lost his way There's nothing you can say Just let him run away Just let him run away And vanish silently There's nothing left to see Just let him be free Let him run away And vanish silently There's nothing left to see Just let him be free
