. . Did you ever see A wild old soul Brow strangled and gets overgrown Leave the whispering sea so far behind The child can do the clouds by fire Those hardy castles in the sky And through his eyes he left his lonely mind We've been oh so down That we watched ourselves turn around and walk away With all the shame that's dragged like lead Never turning back my mind goes Looking for a stony sign The winding way That seeks the love I dread . Did you see the old men coughing In their soup the tired stoop The wake for death And such a long time dying The ones who're stoned Who walk on bone Who know no poem except relief It keeps them down from always lying Well you know the time You're so confused Down in your mind You're not trying If you hear a sound That shakes the ground It's only your soul sighing . Princes try and hold the throne But they can never meet the Lord Even when they hold the stone of reason Tribes they wander Lost and die Above the sea Below the sky If there's no king and man There'll be much reason . Well you know the time You're so confused Down in your mind You're not trying If you hear a sound That shakes the ground It's only your soul sighing . . Well you know the time You're so confused Down in your mind You're not trying If you hear a sound That shakes the ground It's only your soul sighing .
