lyrics

Lauded by a young girl’s father
In an empty park
Gone are all the fading flyers
All our art
On and on, the light rises
What I see as it grows brighter
I can’t leave

Without a backbone
I see my shape in water leaping
Without a backbone
I feel my weight it’s always leaning
Without a backbone
I see the summer eyes of others
Without a backbone
I’ve gone away

On and on an endless rattle
Below our boat
Swore you saw a circling diver
Left our post
Who are you, explaining me
Where I’ll find a faultless choir
In an empty sea

Without a backbone
I count the lives that I’m not leading
Without a backbone
I see my shape in water leaping
Without a backbone
I feel my weight it’s always leaning
Without a backbone
I’ve gone away
