Standard (EADGBE)
Helpless, she lies across the stairs
Haunting your days, consuming your prayers
There will be healing, but don't force this girl to stand
As she's counting the ceilings, with pale voice and trembling hands
You told me life was long, but now that it's gone,
You find yourself on top, as the leader of a flock
Called to be around for those below
Whispered notes from the piano in the corner of the room
Hold your throat, is that healing that you're hearing in her tune?
Wanting change, but loving her just as she lies
Is the burden of the man who's built his life on love
You told me life was long, but now that it's gone,
You find yourself on top, as the leader of a flock
Called to be around for those below
I'll be locked up and stored
In a lavender ward
'Cause my mind is just like hers,
just as broken, just as crippled, just as burned
And then I find myself on top, as the leader of a flock
Called to be around for those below
