So all things must pass,
Stare above the skylines,
See it all seems so far,
Far away from these grey thoughts.

Every night seems the same,
The same picture still taunts me,
I still here you say,
Nothings gonna change tomorrow.

And I've never really seen a cross before,
Like the ones in the skies of my mind.

Another night on the town,
Walking desolations alleys,
You said fight on my friend,
Don't give in to your sorrows.

Someone must try,
Cos the cause will still be there,
Though the fighter has gone,
Don't let what's past slip by.

And they always said its lies,
It hurts only in your head,
But my soul has seemed to die,
Now that yesterday is dead,
And they all can carry on,
Cos what they like aint wrong,
To them it's all today,
Let the dead rest in their graves

Well the skies can turn to blue,
Times will change the themes,
Some places will remain,
With the memories of your dreams.

So the grey streets at dawn,
Still glow in the sunrise,
The old man moves no more,
He just lays there in my arms,
Forever to be free,
I wish she'd taken me.

And I've never really seen a cross before,
Like the ones in the skies of my mind.
