You can hear the grass grow
And feel what the birds think
But you won't drink
What they give to you
Prettier than sunsets
Brighter than a revelation
You say it's just mild sedation
For your other life
Your cross protects you when it's dark
When you close your eyes
You think with your heart
You watch for the boredom
Steal a seat for your visitors
Seen through your eyes
You laugh if the phone rings
You drew it on the wall
The line goes down to the floor
Then fades away
Your cross protects you when it's dark
When you close your eyes
You think with your heart
Switch to Russian
