when we finally came back when we came back home saw how they had left it they d left it all alone when we finally saw it saw what they had done it wasn t much of anything not much of anything at all when we finally saw it saw what they had done it wasn t much of anything not much of anything at all messengers came to your town you d run and hide you d watch them die you never heard what they would tell i wonder why i wonder why carry a thousand silver bulbs back from our hopes carry a thousand silver bulbs our back from our hopes oh well how re the ones you love i don t know i don t know carry a thousand silver bulbs a thousand years have come and gone but my clothes still look the same this is our last night in a tent they are yourselves stuck in the sand they cut your feet they cut your hand what you never cease to show you give it more than i can hope that skin some stories full of holes but i guess they re good to know the light passed through the animals i passed through a million lights i saw something still shine the same the other end of a thousand eyes and all of this to try and find you there it was never made by my own hand
