The world is paper thin
But it goes on when you give in
With a beauty for the living
Yest this land's been less forgiving
There's a cloud that holds no rain
It just hangs in constant pain
A relentless reminder of what lies on the horizon
Snow on these hills
This tree by the bank
Lights for the fallen give you their thanks
Lives on the way are breaking my heart
Tell me you're OK so far
Hey now, don't stare
Hey now, don't stare
Don't stare
Now stare
Hey now don't stare
Hey now don't stare
Don't stare
Don't stare
I can still hear her singing now
A small voice my soul devoured
Yet her song is everlasting
Just a tale to ease her passing
Sing it loud my child for me
For I swear I do believe
After I stare after you too long
I'll lose the strength to move on
Snow on these hills
Tell me how far
we've come to find this
Find who we are
The light on this beach has broken my heart
Lives on the corner crawl
Hey now, don't stare
Hey now, don't stare
Don't stare
Now don't stare
Hey now don't stare
Hey now don't stare
Don't stare
Don't stare
Don't stare
Don't stare
Don't stare
Still I search for things to say
Words to canonize these days
Can I ever hope to capture
The horror and the rapture
She fights with her will
Crawls through the dark
Laughs at the warnings
Cries when it's hard
Leaving alone is
breaking your heart
Tell me you're ok!
Hey now, don't stare
Hey now, don't stare
Don't stare
Now stare
Hey now don't stare
Hey now don't stare
Don't stare
Don't stare
Hey now, don't stare
Hey now, don't stare
Don't stare
Now don't stare
Hey now don't stare
Hey now don't stare
And don't stare
And don't stare
