  • You and I were born
    In a little town
    Before the awful sound
    Started coming down

    Oh no oh

    You came home from school
    Knew you had to run
    Please stop running now
    Just let me be the one

    For you

    But I know you can see
    Things that we can't see
    But when I say I love you
    Your silence covers me
    Oh, Eurydice, it's an awful sound

    I was so disappointed
    You didn't want me
    Oh, how could it be, Eurydice
    I was standing beside you
    By a frozen sea
    Will you ever get free?
    Just take all your pain
    Just put it on me
    So that you can breathe
    When you fly away
    Will you hit the ground?
    It's an awful sound

    I know there's a way
    We can make 'em pay
    Think it over and say (I'm never going back again)
    I know there's a way
    We can leave today
    Think it over and say (I'm never going back again)

    When you were born in the little town
    Before the awful sound
    Started coming down
    There's so much inside you
    That you won't let me see
    You fly away from me
    But it's an awful sound
    When you hit the ground
    It's an awful sound
    When you hit the ground

    I know there's a way
    We can make 'em pay
    Think it over and say
    (I'm never going back again)
    But I know there's a way
    We can leave today
    Think it over

    We know there's a price to pay
    For love in the reflective age
    I met you up upon a stage
    Our love in a reflective age

    Oh no, now you're gone (No) Writer/s: Jeremy Gara, Regine Chassagne, Richard R Parry, Tim Kingsbury, William Butler, Win Butler
