This is the sound of sorrow
Wrapped up, compressed and put in a song
To sing along
This is a broken arrow
Aim for an A, you'll end up alone
When all is gone

Lay me down in the arms of a stranger

This is the path we follow
Bent out of shape you try to fit in
Through thick and thin
This is the bait we swallow
Stand back and watch as all the lights dim
Just keep it in

Lay me down in the arms of a stranger

The plans we make
The stones unturned
The breaking of the waves
The lovers left
The ones unheard
The dreams we chase away
