sadder than water Lyrics

Sadder than water

Bigger than wood

Faster than a stone held in my hand

Louder than paper

Stronger than air

Surer than words written in sand

Safer than oil

Sweeter than fire

Thinner than shadows cast on the land

Sharper than earth

Hotter than space

Warmer than porridge served in a pan

Brighter than chocolate

Smarter than cake

Deeper than the eyes of the man

Lighter than petrol

Shorter than mist

Darker than the back of the van

And this is how the words go

And this is how the world turns

And this is how the world returns

And this is how the words go

And this is how the world turns

And this is how the words return

And this is how the world goes

And this is how the words turn

And this is how we all return
