Broken by the silence That echoed in my heart I couldn't help waving When the waves rushed my way And the world tilted over I saw in my dreams Things aren't the way I hoped they would be You are so kind to be civilized Don't think that I haven't noticed ' Cause I've been too sad to think And too sick to care But someday I'll meet you in the cold midnight air I've been a ghost in houses I've loved I've been a stranger to heaven above But as for the world below This is the one I know My poor beloved home.
