curious she gives me her hand
i give her a whisper
with penance that even the angels
choose to ignore
and i remember the sweet sad cry of the robin
putting to sleep his motions
in the gathering storm
when you're down, well, here's what you say
surely good things are coming your way
take hold of the hand and be saved
when you think that there's no more hope
his prints in the sand will follow you home
when all is lost he will remain
mother in heaven i hand you the sign of the moon
i cover my eyes and utter the two words that kill
within me, without me evolves a watery sideshow
above me explodes the final syllable....
when you're down, well, here's what you say
surely good things are coming your way
take hold of the hand and be saved
when you think that there's no more hope
his prints in the sand will follow you home
when all is lost he will remain
