I, I gazed upon the earth Observed every faulted line And time She moved so slow
It taxed my feeble mind And I waited impatient for something to come around Did you know I was there? Did you know what I needed?
How, how long How, how long
Did I stand in the garden with my breath against the leaves As the trees bowed down and weeds Would gather around my legs up to my knees
How, how long How long How long
I, I gazed into your eyes The day you promised you could lie forever This way
Your hand in mine and the stars singing our names And I waited impatient for something to come around Did you know what it meant? Did you know we were fading?
How, how long How, how long
Did we lie in the soil With our arms and legs tangled up Like the weeds and the branches of the trees That bound our souls and legs to the ground below
How, how long How long How long
Didn't mean to take you down Didn't mean to take you down I thought you'd wanna stay I thought we would be fine whatever came our way
Didn't know my world was dark Didn't know my world was dark until you came And you wilted with the lack of Sun Falling prey
To the weight And dissaray Now you know how it felt Now you know why I needed it
How wrong How wrong
You assumed that I could make you feel it was worth it But all I ever did was drag you down And bring you in and out through hell again My goddess of light, and spring and all things good
How wrong How wrong
Before you break down and fly away with your spirit And mine in tow and leave me below with all The fates and shades and the river passing through
But I never could blame you No I never could blame you
