A crystalline silt Can start the crumbling Of tall castles built On kisses and blood And dreams so like sand The years shake loose And we can't stop falling Drops of quiet salt From a larger sea
So this is the sound Of a heart breaking This is the sound of The red on the road
The spectators stay To see the rending All merely players In kisses and blood And dreams so like sand Last act away and The curtain's falling As I loved you so I'm the last to know
This is the sound Of a heart breaking This is the sound of The red on the road
