For those desperate times on the wire I sing a melody In these ageless ways of the world I can sing a better day With my hopes high in heaven and my soul lost here on the ground There is nothing I can't hide Save for the memory To these thankless years on the line I sing a mystery Through these ruins I'll find my way I sing it back to me With the might of conviction and the sense of what's left to be found There is nothing I can't hide Save for the memory There is nowhere I can run Save for the memory I hold the hope for the day yet to come in my hand However the weather the pieces will lie where they land But still I dream of the place where the ghosts that turned on me now call There is nothing I can't hide There is nowhere I can run There is nothing I can't hide Save for the memory With the ashes dark on my feet I sing a memory Save for the memory
