In the night where the wind gives its worst   Its anthem in the final burst   I watched the surface give up its head   And let its final thoughts get buried with   A growing layer of trial and error      My spines gone out with the lights   From the ice on the power lines   When everything is still and quiet   You'll hear them whispering a thousand times   The words you spoke the night you gave up hope      You saw something inferior   Fall to the ground and disappear   My spines gone out with the lights   From the ice on the power lines      But you remember when you were a child   And you ran away, but you left with a smile   As big as the sun and as high as the sky   It was cloudy out, so you stayed inside   You walked down the hall into your room   And you laid in bed and watched the moon   When you woke up you began to cry   You found that life had passed you by   That's when you started running
