Lyrics
Sadness is a little boy looking Out the window high above the city Counting statues of people on the buildings Thinking that the people are forever
He wants his father to be a statue On the rooftop of his fatherless home So that he can always see him So that he will never leave him
Late at night in the darkness of his dreaming His father's words fall down in a rainstorm And the words become hands that will guide him Through his life in the world just beginning
≪chorus> You cannot live in bronze or stone Make your life in flesh and bone
Stranded is a man no longer searching For the life he had hoped for and imagined Courting fear instead of a woman Holding sorrow as his only companion
Counting days like his money in the markets And watching life from the window in his office Maybe one day I'll have the courage Maybe one day I'll sail across the ocean
But I feel safe in the light of my computer This is how I choose to live Fixed in stone a man will wither Running waters are the life of the river
You cannot live in bronze or stone Make your life in flesh and bone Remember me..
Frightened is an old man limping Through the park on a dark december day He stands frozen at the base of a statue And he hopes for a warm hand to help him
Tonight he will dream that he is flying Over banks of a river he remembers His father's voice will echo all around him His father's hands will hold him in the sky
Now I can sail across the ocean Now I will sail across the ocean Now I am sailing across the ocean
I cannot live in bronze or stone I must live as flesh and bone Remember me, remember me, remember me..
