I've been old since my eyes opened
Teach me kindness, show me cold
I've been awake too long, too long
Young and crying, eyes like prey
I see you in my head when I count my mistakes
I know where you're going baby you won't make it there, you won't make it there
A world of green men, and they don't know what sadness is
You have smelled this country's breath, you put children on your back
You can't stay here, in this place
Dark corridors, long hallway of my life
Making oceans hours move slow
Rivers are endless, I see them through
I suffer on with you, I suffer on with you
Five cold years pass like light
I remember you will know love
I am on my way to you I am Saint Joseph
I will call your name
And I will lift you from the night
You've been silent all your life, you've been whispering your goodbyes
You can't stay here in my arms
Your soldiers, they mean you harm
Don't lie girl, don't even look me in the eye.
