When the earth has turned to stone
And the flowers have been sleeping forever
I put on my blood-red coat
As a protest against this foul weather
And I can't keep it out
(Forever)
And I can't keep it in here much longer
Because any day now it's gonna be spring
When my heart has turned to stone
And my voice is the sound in a seashell
I put on my blood-red coat
To remind me that God's in the detail
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
And I can't keep him out
(Forever)
And I can't keep him in here much longer
'Cause my bones are growing stronger
And any day now my life's gonna begin
Like a bu*terfly
Shed the skin
Of this other life
It's a sin to waste a minute I've been given so begin it
Just as soon as I feel warmth upon my skin
When my eyes have turned to stone
And my memories are darkly receding
I'll take off my blood-red coat
So that no one will notice me leaving
And I won't wait it out
(Forever)
And I won't keep it at bay much longer
'Cause that bright light's growing stronger
And any day now I'll be stretching my wings
‘Cause any day now it's gonna be spring
