Make Way for the Living

Always in and out of love somewhere
Between sleep and waking
Sanskrit songs, last night's dream
And the toll that life's been taking

There's talk of mysteries
And places roamed by poets
Heaven and earth are meeting
And fallen tears best show it

Make way for the living
Make way for the living
Bright against a black sky
And the shadow of the moon
Make way for the living

Thinking no mystery should go
Unchallenged we get
Flowers bloom outside your window
For no one's sake and yet

Morning arrives so gorgeous
Like a great dog yawn
Somewhere on a back street
Night chose to become the dawn

Make way for the living
Make way for the living
Bright against a black sky
And the shadow of the moon
Make way for the living

Amber round your neck
And silver on your arm
Blue light in your window
Girl you have a certain charm

Look now as the sky
Falls and rises up again
Look at yourself here
In the afternoon rain

Make way for the living
Make way for the living
Make way for the living
Make way for the living
Make way for the living
Make way
Make way
Make way for the living
