lyrics
All in the morning you have been mourning
Mourning the offspring who may not be born
And in the back room where no one can hear you
You sing the sad tune for those never scorned
Oh, and the world - it just keeps on turning
Oh, and the fears in our hearts - they just keep on burning
Oh, and the tide - it may just keep rising
Oh, and the sun today - it may still yet burn these eyes in.
All in the evening, breathing your deeds in
How you'll never see him alive anymore
Calmness and silence, stillness but violence
Haunting despite this new-closen door.
Oh, and the world - it just keeps on turning
Oh, and the fears in our hearts - they just keep on burning
Oh, and the tide - it may just keep rising
Oh, and the sun today - it may still yet burn these eyes in.
All in the morning you have been mourning
Mourning the offspring who may not be born
And in the back room where no one can hear you
You sing the sad tune for those never scorned
Mourning the offspring who may not be born
And in the back room where no one can hear you
You sing the sad tune for those never scorned
Oh, and the world - it just keeps on turning
Oh, and the fears in our hearts - they just keep on burning
Oh, and the tide - it may just keep rising
Oh, and the sun today - it may still yet burn these eyes in.
All in the evening, breathing your deeds in
How you'll never see him alive anymore
Calmness and silence, stillness but violence
Haunting despite this new-closen door.
Oh, and the world - it just keeps on turning
Oh, and the fears in our hearts - they just keep on burning
Oh, and the tide - it may just keep rising
Oh, and the sun today - it may still yet burn these eyes in.
All in the morning you have been mourning
Mourning the offspring who may not be born
And in the back room where no one can hear you
You sing the sad tune for those never scorned
