But it goes on when you give in
With a beauty for the living
Yet this land's been less forgiving
There's a cloud that holds no rain
It just hangs in constant pain
Of what lies on the horizon
There's snow on these hills
There's trees by the bank
Hey now, don't stare, hey now, don't stare
And don't stare, and don't stare
Hey now, don't stare, hey now, don't stare
And don't stare, and don't stare
I still hear her singing now
A small voice my soul devoured
Yet her song is everlasting
Just a tale to ease her passing
Sing it loud my child for me
If I stare after you too long
I'll lose the strength to move on
Hey now, don't stare, hey now, don't stare
And don't stare, and don't stare
Hey now, don't stare, hey now, don't stare
And don't stare, and don't stare
Still I search for things to say
Words to canonize these days
Can I ever hope to capture
The horror and the rapture?
And crawls through the dark
Hey now don't stare, hey now, don't stare
And don't stare, and don't stare
Hey now, don't stare, hey now, don't stare
And don't stare, and don't stare
