The Wire

Is the ghost not the shadow?

Is the host not the echo?

Is the view from the window-

Like before?

We blame time when it forgets-

All the lies that we trusted.

And the caretaker can't take anymore.

So goodnight-

Rest well, inside these walls.

I don't mean you no harm,

Just as lost as you are-

Just come down, come down from the wire.

Just come down, come down from the wire.

If you ever stop to listen-

Between fate and good intention-

There's a wire that runs the distance all along.

Some parts frayed and some parts strong-

Never broken; never gone.

So goodnight-

Rest well, inside these walls.

I don't mean you no harm,

Just as lost as you are-

Reaching out, reaching out through the wire.

I'm reaching out, reaching out through the wire.

Ohh-

Ohh.

So goodnight-

Rest well, inside these walls.

I don't mean you no harm,

Just as lost as you are-

Just come down, come down from the wire-

I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out through the wire.

Just come down, just come down from the wire.
