Broken by the silence

That echoed in my heart

I couldn't help waving

When the waves rushed my way

And the world tilted over

I saw in my dreams

Things aren't the way

I hoped they would be



You are so kind to be civilized

Don't think that I haven't noticed

'Cause I've been too sad to think

And too sick to care

But someday I'll meet you in the cold midnight air



I've been a ghost in houses I've loved

I've been a stranger to heaven above

But as for the world below

This is the one I know

My poor beloved home.
