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

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
