Lyrics

This rain can’t really fall forever And the well will dry It’ll run dry in due time I’ll watch the forest turn to trees And grow again the next spring You stood where lightning wouldn’t strike And then demand it happen twice Drip fed and standing silently In this lifeline This lifeline is single file I’ll watch the forest turn to trees And grow again the next spring You stood where lightning wouldn’t strike And then demand it happen twice Cut your hands on the claws of a dove Should’ve let it fly free Cut your hands on the claws of a dove ‘Cause peace don’t mean a thing inside a Cage I’ll watch the forest turn to trees And grow again the next spring You stood where lightning wouldn’t strike And then demand it happen twice Cut your hands on the claws of a dove Should’ve let it fly free Cut your hands on the claws of a dove ‘Cause peace don’t mean a thing inside of a Cage
