Tempered by greed
Tall buildings breathe
Give a sigh of relief when it's night
Stirring from sleep
We night-owls creep
Is there any sign of life under this stone?
Star chime hollow and true
Love, child
Weep for me
And I will cast your wheels in motion
Walk with me
The inner reaches of emotion
Sheltered by greed
One piled on one
Do you have a little room for one small one?
Light shine wild and free
Sun, rise
Weep for me
And I will set your wheels in motion
Keep with me
And like a roller on the ocean
Stand by me
And I will fill you with devotion
Walk with me
The inner reaches of emotion
Here we are
In the sunshine
Everything is fine
Here we are
Everything, everything is fine
Weep for me
And sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me
'Til rays of sunshine fill the ocean
Walk with me
The inner reaches of emotion
Stand with me
And I will fill you with devotion
Weep for me
And sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me
And like a roller on the ocean
Stand by me
And I will fill you with devotion
Walk with me
The inner reaches of emotion
The sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me
And rays of sunshine fill the ocean
Walk with me
The inner reaches of emotion
