She told me to buy a piece of black onyx
to block out the negative
I didn't know that would be the last advice
that would escape from her lips

answers are just questions killing time
and time is a dimension that I can't find

why do you cry when the heron flies over
the moon lit lake?
are tears watercolors disguised to paint
the landscape?

my plans are changing
my plans are changing
my plans are changing

I'm blocking out the negative

old souls are living in younger bodies
that don't grow old and cannot go to the
birthday party
you can't control what you don't understand
the mystery will always have an upper hand

answers are just questions killing time
and time is a dimension that I can't find

why do you cry when the heron flies over
the moon lit lake?
are tears watercolors disguised to paint
the landscape?

my plans are changing
my plans are changing
my plans are changing

I'm blocking out the negative
of how much she had left to give
I'm blocking out the negative
of how much she has left to give

la la la la

la la la la
la la la la la
la la la la la
la la la - la la la
la la la laaaa
