AGAIN Lyrics

Softly it echoes and scratches the wall

Time in a teacup as love comes to call

Box cars and spray paint, graffiti that stains

A crossword, a lost word, it's happening again

The meadow is wet with the fresh morning mist

The hunter and the black knight draw swords with their fists

The shadow of death speaks as if to explain

They're killing themselves, yes, it's happening again

The teardrops dried up, the parade passed on through

Glitter soaked sidewalks met the cold evening dew

As the street sweeper danced with his broom in the rain

A polka, a damp waltz, it's happening again

White knights are riding through forests of black

She promised a lifetime and she can't take it back

An elf on a moonbeam slides down with the flame

A slight pause, a lost cause, it's happening again

The king's bounty hunter is mounting his steed

He rides past the princess, his heart starts to bleed

She writes from the tower, until dawn dries her pen

A blank verse, a dry curse, it's happening again

The teardrops dried up, the parade passed on through

Glitter soaked sidewalks met the cold evening dew

As the street sweeper danced with his broom in the rain

A polka, a damp waltz, it's happening again

Icy black skies and a glimpse of the past

They seal up their hearts in a white plaster cast

Break the mold and admit that they lose what they gain

A tired phrase, a strange maze, it's happening again

Moisture and moonbeams escape when they're dry

The hole in his soul and the loss in her eye

A willow weeps silent for what might have been

In a place called tomorrow, it's happening again

The teardrops flow fresh on the faces of clowns

Balloons and fresh flowers still parade through the towns

While all of these lovers fall asleep in the glen

Too late to awake, they've let it happen again
