Not Over By Half

Lyrics

You've torn your shirt
 You've outgrown this town
 Your friends are all scattered
 And you're lonesome
 But you're still searchin'
 For music in the sounds
 It's a tame world will leave you unbroken
 ♪
 Oh lady, oh mother
 Bring your garden to me
 Pull it 'round my body
 So the world cannot see
 Blue of my veins
 And the tracks on my cheeks
 Leave the tulips for when I go under
 But it's not over by half
 There's a gold in your eyes
 Loomin' out through the black
 And you're still standing
 And your hand on your lap
 No it's not over, not over by half
 ♪
 When that day comes
 And the lights grow dim
 The weight off your shoulders
 The sun off your skin
 And the ones who have known you
 Your lovers and friends
 Will be marked by a spark that was taken
 But it's not over by half
 There's a gold in your eyes
 Loomin' out through the black
 And you're still standing
 And your hand on your lap
 No it's not over, not over by half
 ♪
 Here on the mountain
 I am thinking of you
 The birds are all singing
 The screaming of youth
 And here I am holding
 Keeping room
 Just a place you can lay when you're older
 But it's not over by half
 There's a gold in your eyes
 Loomin' out through the black
 And you're still standing
 And your hand on your lap
 No it's not over, not over by half
