Torches Together Lyrics

Torches Together lyrics

Why burn poor and lonely under a bowl.



Under a lampshade or on the shelf



Beside the bed where at night



You lay turning like a door on it's hinges?



(First on your left side, then on your right side, then your left side
again)



Why burn poor and lonely?



Tell all the stones, we're gonna make a building.



We'll cut into shape & set into place or you'd rather be a window,



I'll gladly be the frame reflecting any kind of words.



We'll let in all the blame



(And ruin our reputation all the same)



Never mind out plan making,



We'll start living......anyway,



Aren't you unbearbly sad?



Then why burn so poor and lonely?







We'll be like torches - We'll be torches together!



With whatever out tattered Dignity demands



Torches together, hand in hand







Why pluck one string - What good is just one note?



Oh, one string sounds fine i guess....We we're once 'Our Notes',



We were lonely wheat quietly ground into grain



(What light and momentary pain!)



So why his safe distance, this curious look?



Why tear our single pages when you can throw away the book?



Why pluck one string when you can strum the guitar?



Strum the guitar!



With no beginning, with no end



Take down a guitar and strum the guitar if you're afraid,



And I'm afraid and everyone's afraid



And everyone knows it but we don't have to be afraid anymore



You played the flute but no one was dancing



You sang a sad song and none of us cried
