Grey Garden

Lyrics

The Approaching Hour

I always know it when it starts to fall...
Right from the distant smile and promise to call-
You really tell me you don't know me at all...
Your body's laughing, and your face is strange!

How can you wonder why the stars are gone?
From what you tell me, you'll forget this song-
Give me a reason to go on and on...
You dodge the content -I'll evade the frame!

No matter how I grow, it's never enough-
The genius dies, the fool inherits his stuff-
Invoke the quantum world -My only escape...
You'd leave me rotting in a mindless state!

The dream is over and the sky is dark...
A boy lies dying out in Dyker Park-
Hold for a second and the end will break...
Cold resurrection has me saving shape!

I dedicate this to the lifeless, it seems-
To distant worlds, and the dreamers of dreams...
That I hold captive in this symphony-
To cast my thoughts upon the diamond sea...
