Toad The Wet Sprocket
Are you given vision
Are you second sight
Are you older than your life
Eighty days of sorrow
Endless more in sight
Still you child burn bright
And you see me crying again
And you hold out your little hand
Lead me shaking to his room
I thought Id never see again
Close the door behind you
Turning out the light
Press a flashlight up against the wall
You say this is how we knew him, in a little egg
It opened up and this is daddy now
Now youre stepping back towards me
Til the room is bathing in light
And the answer there before me
Theres no ending when we die
Are you sleeping here beside me
Are you shining bright as the sky
Are you breathing now inside me
Theres no ending when we die
