The Cost

Trees in the park, the open arms
Voices in the dark, the false alarms
Summer came riding, the wind was high
Paper went flying, promises and lies

The cars go past a string of pearls
Metal and glass, it's a speeding world
Mirrors gleaming, polish and chrome
Headlights beaming spirits from home

All of your friends know the street you live
The moments they send the jewels they give
A foot in the door, the knife and the flame
Silver to pour diminish the name

Rеshaping of plans, the noises above
Thе marching bands, the violence of love
Dreams in the night ascending the stair
Horses in flight revealing the fair

The cars go past a string of pearls
Metal and glass, it's a speeding world
Hard to conceive the winning and loss
Hard to believe you were worth the cost
