Alone in the crowd

Have I told you Why I want to
Fly like an eagle in the sky?
Am I too insensitive to try?

I'm the fire flowing in the river
the blood flowing in a dead man's heart
Origami on the table fell into the doldrums
refusing to chase tomorrow

And I'm alone in the crowd now
Trying to stop the time but it won't listen
Telling my mind stories about life
And the paper boat lost in the same ocean


The phoney thoughts in my mind are
like an anxious smile in disguise 
or is it in the guise of reticence?


The pebbles we throw into the sea
Become ghosts of perdition
The imprisoned bird, the half hearted paintings
are all in the same boat that I'm sailing

And I'm alone in the crowd now
Trying to stop the time but it won't listen
Telling my mind stories about life
And the paper boat lost in the same ocean

And I'm alone in the crowd now
Trying to stop the time but it won't listen
Telling my mind stories about life
And the paper boat lost in the same ocean
