VERSE 1

It's your bicycle bells, And your Rembrandt swells
Your children alive and still breathing

It's your look of loss, When you're coming across

Makes me feel like a thief, When you're bleeding

I come listening, I touch touching

VERSE 2

And they lay them before you like reasons

It's your young girl's face That I'm breathing
