lyrics

When I learned
My golden rule
I was not
Attending school
I was out
Collecting rocks
Searching for
The ones that talk

Then a star fell on my head
And this is what she said

You'll never know how much I love you
If you did then you would surely drown
Swept beneath the currents of your longing
That lay across the mountains like a cloud

You'll never know how much I love you
If you did then you would run away
Seeking refuge in some darker day
Where cries of hidden sorrow ricochet

Then a star fell on my head
and I thought that I was dead
So I laid down in my grave
And I learned how not to crave

You'll never know how much I love you
If you did then you would surely choke
The thoughts and words colliding in your throat
Clogged up like a chimney filled with smoke

You'll never know how much I love you
If you did then you would go blind
Gouged and harrowed by the lonely question why
Why
