Cane Hill Lyrics by Anne Clark
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Here
Upon these ghostly shadows
Of men and women
There are no smiles
Singly
They mingle
With the greyness of the walls
And at strange angels
They travel on
To nowhere
Each a nucleus
Of sadness and despair
Small
Or no conversation
Passes their cigarette-stained lips
They sit
The lonely ones
Sitting eternally
In institutions
That have become their eyes
That have become their arms
Their legs
They are empty now
Just shells moving back and forth
Upon a shore
Of some uncharted beach
Up steep green hills
They linger
Like the darknest thoughts
That push them selves
Into your mind
You cannot question them
For they will not answer you
They
Are our deepest fears
Here  Upon these ghostly shadows  Of men and women  There are no smiles  Singly  They mingle  With the greyness of the walls  And at strange angels  They travel on  To nowhere  Each a nucleus  Of sadness and despair  Small  Or no conversation  Passes their cigarette-stained lips  They sit  The lonely ones  Sitting eternally  In institutions  That have become their eyes  That have become their arms  Their legs  They are empty now  Just shells moving back and forth  Upon a shore  Of some uncharted beach  Up steep green hills  They linger  Like the darknest thoughts  That push them selves  Into your mind  You cannot question them  For they will not answer you  They  Are our deepest fears
