lyrics
If I was a picture in a frame
Who would count the echoes? Who to blame?
Help the foggy swoon to remain
But how can I so weak keep contained
Oh I know all is not black and white
But the world is dangerous and you'll be cold at night
If there's something that you want, but you can't have
You can always have the mountain
And if there's a dirge to sing but can't be sung
Then listen to my bluebird cry
Looks may warm where eyes grow pale
They're heavy made of glass, mind so frail
If the key were ever to be found
Then paws would swift across the rocky ground
So let me go, ain't no sin in my mind
Though intentions be so fit, first may seem unkind
If there's something that you want, but you can't have
You can always have...
Who would count the echoes? Who to blame?
Help the foggy swoon to remain
But how can I so weak keep contained
Oh I know all is not black and white
But the world is dangerous and you'll be cold at night
If there's something that you want, but you can't have
You can always have the mountain
And if there's a dirge to sing but can't be sung
Then listen to my bluebird cry
Looks may warm where eyes grow pale
They're heavy made of glass, mind so frail
If the key were ever to be found
Then paws would swift across the rocky ground
So let me go, ain't no sin in my mind
Though intentions be so fit, first may seem unkind
If there's something that you want, but you can't have
You can always have...
