'CORNER OF HEAVEN' LYRICS
I thought I saw a plum
on that tree
it was the tears of a flower
like petals on the windowsill
then I saw, like a painting
the corner of heaven
like a revelation
I felt clever
the sun reflection
on the silver thread
the light through the branches
the houses red
He looked away
I was watching
modern life
is nothing more than a fight
I knew there was a fire
in their hearts
and no one could see it
or justify it
inside it was colder
than outside
please make me warmer
make things right
the gold detector
in the driest desert
I turned it off
and I started breathing
He looked away
I was watching
modern life
is nothing more than a fight
I looked away
he was watching
modern life
is nothing more than a fight
I wish I could run away
(I've been trying)
I wish I could run away
(I've been trying)
I wish I could run away
I wish I could run away
