The Wire Songtext

von Emerson Hart

Is the ghost, not the shadow
Is the host, not the echo
Is the view from the window like before?

Well, we blame time when he forgets
All the lies that we trusted
And the caretaker can't take anymore

So goodnight
Rest well
Inside these walls

I don't mean you no harm
Just as lost as you are
Just come down, come down from the wire
Just come down, come down from the wire

If you ever stop to listen
Between fade and good intention
There's a wire that runs the distance all along
Some parts frayed and some parts strong
Never broken, never gone

So goodnight
Rest well
Inside these walls

I don't mean you no harm
Just as lost as you are
Reachin' out, reachin' out through the wire
I'm reachin' out, I'm reachin' out through the wire

Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

So goodnight
Rest well
Inside these walls

I don't mean you no harm
Just as lost as you are
Just come down, come down from the wire
I'm reachin' out, I'm reachin' out through the wire
Just come down, come down from the wire
