Just this time I ask, please, do it slowly Don't leave this cardboard here in my soul Remember I'm the meek and the lowly Don't leave it crumbling here in my soul
Oh Listen, it's gone Oh Listen, it's gone
Just this time I ask, please, speak it softly Don't wake the ghosts here in my soul For now I hear the coming of silence As white and stark as my fragile soul
Oh Listen, it's gone Oh Listen, it's gone
Oh Listen, it's gone Oh Listen, it's gone
Just for now I ask, drop it forever Don't leave it wandering here in my soul Remember I'm the meek and the lowly Don't leave this cardboard here in my soul
