The Dirt Whispered Lyrics

She got down on hands and knees, one ear against the ground, <br /> holding her breath to hear something, but the dirt made not a sound tonight<br /> <br /> echoes of songs still lurk on distant foreign shores, where we<br /> danced just to please the gods that only ask for more, so it goes<br /> <br /> but still we give ourselves to this<br /> we can't spend our lives waiting to live<br /> <br /> on cold nights<br /> in a prayer for dawn<br /> but the daylight<br /> isn’t what/ she wants<br /> <br /> the concrete<br /> calls my name again<br /> im falling<br /> thru the cracks I slip<br /> <br /> the postcard says wish you were here<br /> but I’d rather I was there, holding<br /> on to the simple things before they disappear, that’s what I meant<br /> <br /> but that was then, and this is now<br /> I'll make it up to you somehow<br /> <br /> on cold nights<br /> in a prayer for dawn<br /> but the daylight<br /> isn’t what she wants<br /> <br /> the concrete<br /> calls my name again<br /> im falling<br /> thru the cracks I slip<br /> <br /> she got down on hands and knees, one ear against the ground, <br /> holding her breath to hear something, anything at all<br /> <br /> The dirt whispered, "Child, I'm coming home." <br /> <br /> on cold nights<br /> in a prayer for dawn<br /> but the daylight<br /> isn’t what she wants<br /> <br /> the concrete<br /> calls my name again<br /> im falling<br /> thru the cracks I slip
