Like a criminal guilty on all counts   Rattling his cage with every ounce   Of resolve he never had   I was convicted      Then I took the pardon and the walls came down   But I must like it here 'cause I keep hanging around   For a better suit and an escort and a winning lottery ticket      First we waited for miracles   Then we needed a sign   Now we're here to confess   We've wasted the time      But I know, I know   I know, I know this      Every blade will wither and fade   As the old man dies again   Season pass, we're clinging to grass   'Cause we've lost the sky again      Like a woman trying to give birth   She strains, she labors   She's not sure if it's worth the suffering   And she wonders, how long?      When I first heard the rumor you were coming back   I confess my impatience, I guess I lost track of what   I'm to persevere for of the reason you put me here for      Back then it was any day now   Never dreamed we were wrong   Now we're shaking our heads   Wondering, how long?      But I know, I know   I know, I know that      Every blade will wither and fade   As the old man dies again   Season pass, we're clinging to grass   'Cause we've lost the sky again      I feel a moment of your perfect love   I catch a glimmer of your sweet grace   But it only makes me long for the day   When I look full in your face      Every blade will wither and fade   As the old man dies again   Season pass, we're clinging to grass   'Cause we've lost the sky again      Every blade will wither and fade   As the old man dies again   Season pass, we're clinging to grass   'Cause we've lost the sky again      Every blade will wither and fade   As the old man dies again   Season pass, we're clinging to grass   'Cause we've lost the sky again      Every blade will wither and fade   As the old man dies again   Season pass, we're clinging to grass   'Cause we've lost the sky again
