You can hear the grass grow

And feel what the birds think

But you won't drink

What they give to you



Prettier than sunsets

Brighter than a revelation

You say it's just mild sedation

For your other life



Your cross protects you

When it's dark

When you close your eyes

You think with your heart



You watch for the boredom

Steal a seat for your visitors

Seen through your eyes



You laugh if the phone rings

You drew it on the wall

The line goes down to the floor

Then fades away



Your cross protects you

When it's dark

When you close your eyes

You think with your heart



Because you're prettier than sunsets

And brighter than a revelation
