From the recording Songs Sung in Silence
Lyrics
Why don’t you stand there
Why don’t you stare a little longer
Why don’t you wait and let the blood pour out
I guess it’s been awhile
Since you’ve seen someone in pain
You just sit there and let the life run out
Why are you still here
You’re not supposed to be hear
Obviously you can’t handle what’s dishing out
Someone in need
Can’t hear the plea
For some strange reason, you are all washed out
Where are the ones
Who used to live here
Guess they’ve been driven out
By some force untold
They used to cry out
For every bleeding heart
For every broken soul
Why don’t you sit back
I can see your struggling
Anguish in person, as you’ve never seen
Someone will be here soon
Gee, I hope me makes it
Maybe if someone had came a sooner to the scene
And now he’s leaving
His arms are stretched out
Say a prayer for the life that could have been
Where did they go
In a moment they were gone
Coulda sworn I’d seen em
Musta been a ghost
