Everywhere I go Around every corner On every avenue A million reminders A million scars Modern broken houses Miss-sculptured minds Black rivers run to dead seas White crosses all that is recent all that is pure There's a date on the papers so far away from the day it is here Empty champagne bottles Bullets for corks Next generation playing alone No mention of yesterday Realisation slowly chips smiles away So please Can someone tell me how to block the hole In the hourglass draining from your soul I see the hope drain from your eyes Everywhere I go Hourglasses set in concrete floors Reconciliation nailed to the walls No sign of repair No plans to build I guess there's no point in the end The penny dropped just as the price rose a penny again So please Can someone tell me how to block the hole In the hourglass draining from your soul I see the hope drain from your eyes
