These are the hands that hold the sun
This is the water where life was first begun
These are the eyes that saw you lying there
This is the mind that will always remember

I hold your hand with a heavy heart of lead
The sky is black and gold and
The moon is shining red

I see you, mary anne, but i'm not really here
I see you, mary anne, but what have i become?

This is the sound of a world without a name
Here is the ocean where history was raised

I was a young man sailing on the sea
This was a new world, every child was free

We're not standing here on the poison shore
Love is the empty place where loneliness is born

I see you, mary anne, we never knew ourselves
I see you, mary anne, we're not really here

I see us innocent, what have we become?
