The sun is setting, the story’s long been told
I heard ya cryin’, I couldn’t do a thing
The worse can happen, I told ya long ago
When chasin’ fairy tales, well I’ll forever be
We lost ourselves
way out along the dream

I heard ya cryin’
How low are we?
How low are we?
Our Love is pain

Out on the hill there is a girl who’s filled with doubt
Out on the hill there is a man with no way out
Out on the sea of change they heard the call go out
Out on the hill alone, broken, stand the devout
I heard ya cryin’

The sun is setting, the story’s long been told
No use revilin’, let’s sever poisoned times
The best can happen, the worst can make you blind
To all the things you held so dear throughout your life
We were the pieces over the playing field
I heard you crying. “How Low are we?
How low are we?”
Our Love is pain

Out on the hill there is a man who’s filled with doubt
Out on the hill there is a girl with no way out
Out on the sea of change they heard the call go out
Out on the hill alone, broken, stand the devout
I heard ya cryin’

Breakdown:
Two so unalike
So painfully paired
Forget all you believe and all you perceive
And all that you know to be true
You can be strong and brave
They can even love and favor you
But when it comes to their games
The Gods can be brilliantly cruel

And their hunger must be satisfied

The sun has set
The story’s end has come
It’s time for smilin’, We made it out alive
A thought is uttered, a path again renewed
Cuz nothin’ in this world can ever kill a dream
We lost our wonder over the span malign
I heard ya cryin’. “How Low are we?
How low are we?”
Our Love is pain

Always running through the dream
That seldom breaks for mourners
If I slow down I’ll get caught
So I’ll keep runnin’
Old scratch has been askin’ for me
He’s got a score to settle
not privy to his designs
I’m Always a half step ahead

Chorus:
Hold fast ‘til I make it back
And I swear I’ll break your fall
I’ll watch over everyone
So you can rest your tired conscience

Ever closer surrounding
A shadow crosses my map
It has more names than we know
It just keeps comin’
A forever stalk through lifetimes
It knows me far better than
The hopes and dreams forgotten
1,2,3,4,5 we must change

Chorus:
Hold fast ‘til I make it back
And I swear I’ll break your fall
I’ll watch over everyone
So you can rest your tired conscience

When the chase ends will I know
This debtor’s obligation?
What’s that breathin’ down my neck?
What am I learning?
If I turn ‘round and stand my ground
Will I meet my very end
If I stay still will it reveal
We’ve always been one and the same

Chorus:
Hold fast ‘til I make it back
And I swear I’ll break your fall
I’ll watch over everyone
So you can rest your tired conscience

Outro:
Running away to know, running away I chose
I’m still here, my heart’s still beating
Running away to know, fight another day and grow
I’m still here and my heart still leads me

Diogenes travels, dispossessed
I need to know, brother
Odysseus, lost and dispossessed,
Needs to know, father
Divorced from all meaning to hold it dear
We need you near, will you appear?
A loss of all purpose can lead to death
They need to know, sister

 Chorus:
Without our bearings there’s nothing we can defy
Without a ground beneath our feet
The best of us won’t know why
And there’s a place that reaps the fruit of hopes that die
Under a Berlin Bridge
Where others float and our dear Nico lies

The strayed and lost travel dispossessed
To kill the void, Brother
The sold and fooled tremble, well bereft
And hide the shame, Father
To seek all the answers, unappeased,
From the dawn of time they’ve seldom ceased
We’ve given up everything to know
I need to know, Sister

 Chorus:
Without our bearings there’s nothing we can defy
Without a ground beneath our feet
The best of us won’t know why
And there’s a place that reaps the fruit of hopes that die
Under a Berlin Bridge
Where others float and our dear Nico lies

 Breakdown:
I can tell you all you see
Was first made from what you can’t
So futile is my search far beyond
Exploration far within
Moves beyond a place to hide
Where reverie and matter shimmer all

I can tell you what I see
When my eyes are closed and I Cast
Out a thousand dreams
And reel them in
Everything is answered there
All I need is waiting for me
Seas of growth and nourishment for all

 Harmony part:
Please make all my dreams
Come running back to me
Please make all I love
Come running back to me
