You can hear the grass grow   And feel what the birds think   But you won't drink   What they give to you      Prettier than sunsets   Brighter than a revelation   You say it's just mild sedation   For your other life      Your cross protects you   When it's dark   When you close your eyes   You think with your heart      You watch for the boredom   Steal a seat for your visitors   Seen through your eyes      You laugh if the phone rings   You drew it on the wall   The line goes down to the floor   Then fades away      Your cross protects you   When it's dark   When you close your eyes   You think with your heart      Because you're prettier than sunsets   And brighter than a revelation
