(Same chords as first verse)

There was a gentleman,

I've always known his children's songs

Blue eyes were hardened by the war

But still he went on singing

Night can't hide a man

When his eyes are tearing

The night can't hide his cries

There's only a few of us left

Higher hills do not provide

For hearts born of coral and moss

Where rain wont flow beyond our stream

And water is captive to the well

I've known that age old blue lies in home with sirens tombs

He's left a deep desire for a home beside the water

Shady rhythm calms the night

And that voice is never still

You know a voice is never still

And a voice is never silent

Shady rhythm calms the night

And that voice is never still

You know a voice is never still

And a voice is never silent

Higher hills do not provide

For hearts born of coral and moss

Where rain wont flow beyond our stream

And water is captive to the well
