You Were Only A Song

I only held you for a minute
 And you were gone
 You grew eyes you grew legs
 Then you were only a song
 A song that I could sing when the world outside
 Grew cold, it got old and I had nowhere to hide
 Memories coming down like buildings
 After they fall, you throw diamonds and wave and hope it builds you a wall
 A wall that can keep all the hurt outside, and the hate and the greed
 We go blind we go blind
 All of us here know that you're lonely
 And we could never doubt a single word you say
 Because they have
 Wrecked your body
 Bruise those ribs
 Who pushed the pins right through your hands?
 They wont win
 They wont win
 I see you all bathed in light
 And I reach out my hand too touch your skin
 And carry you home
 And carry you right back home again
 I only held you for a minute
 And you were gone
 You grew eyes you grew legs
 Then you were only a song
 A song that I could sing when the world outside
 Grew cold, it got old and I had nowhere to hide
 All of us here know that you're lonely
 And we could never doubt a single word you say
 Because they have
 Wrecked your body
 Bruise those ribs
 Who pushed the pins right through your hands?
 They wont win
 They wont win
 I see you all bathed in light
 And I reach out my hand too touch your skin
 And carry you home
 And carry you right back home again
 Hallelujah we can begin again.
 Halle-Hallelujah we can begin again, we can begin again.
 Halle-Hallelujah we can begin again, we can begin again.
 Wrecked your body
 Bruise those ribs
 Who pushed the pins right through your hands?
 They wont win
 They wont win
 I see you all bathed in light
 And I reach out my hand too touch your skin
 And carry you home
 And carry you right back home again
