Helpless she lies across the stairs
Haunting your days, consuming your prayers.
There will be healing but don´t force this girl to stand
As she´s counting the ceilings with pale voice and trembling hands

You told me life was long but now that it´s gone
You find yourself on top as the leader of the flock
Called to be a rock for those below

Whispered notes from the piano in the corner of the room
Hold your throat is that healing that you´re hearing in her tune
Wanting change but loving her just as she lies
Is the burden of a man who´s built his life on love

You told me life was long but now that it´s gone
You find yourself on top as the leader of the flock
Called to be a rock for those below

I´ll be locked up and stored
In the lavender ward
´Cause my mind is just like hers
Just as broken just as crippled just as burned

And then I find myself on top as the leader of the flock
Called to be a rock for those below
