๐ Lyrics
We watched the trees undressed into something new
We were the chimney smoke helpless disappearing from view
And I recalled a boy in a porch swing realizing he would die
Fear will take a man's life, fear will take a man's life
I was grasping for a shadow something already in my hand
When I lost it in the water reaching out for my own reflection
We need something to change, we need something to change
You said that man is but a breath hanging by his skin
The burning end of a cigarette time will take everything
And I recalled a boy ina dark wood stumbling on a precious pearl
The way the smoke and air curls, way the smoke and air curls
I was grasping for a shadow something already in my hand
When I lost it in the water reaching out for my own reflection
We need something to change, we need something to change
My train will come friends and family will gather round
Our grandchildren playing out behind our house
Next to our names carved in the side of a tree
It's not what we take it's what we leave
It's what we leave, It's what we leave,
It's what we leave, It's what we leave
We were the chimney smoke helpless disappearing from view
And I recalled a boy in a porch swing realizing he would die
Fear will take a man's life, fear will take a man's life
I was grasping for a shadow something already in my hand
When I lost it in the water reaching out for my own reflection
We need something to change, we need something to change
You said that man is but a breath hanging by his skin
The burning end of a cigarette time will take everything
And I recalled a boy ina dark wood stumbling on a precious pearl
The way the smoke and air curls, way the smoke and air curls
I was grasping for a shadow something already in my hand
When I lost it in the water reaching out for my own reflection
We need something to change, we need something to change
My train will come friends and family will gather round
Our grandchildren playing out behind our house
Next to our names carved in the side of a tree
It's not what we take it's what we leave
It's what we leave, It's what we leave,
It's what we leave, It's what we leave
