"Empty Orchestra" lyrics

"Empty Orchestra"

Enough of this sad (Enough of this sad)
Wasted hours
Dreaming of country life (Dreaming of country life)
You hang over the side of the breezeway (Side of the breezeway)
Nothing is said (Nothing is said)
Only the brightest rays (Only the brightest rays)
Pierce the tired eyes
You know what you need (Know what you need)
While the sun burns through a lake of ice (Burns through a lake of ice)
But there's no real change (There's no real change)
And that's why we know this is over now (This is over now)

And what have you done? (What have you done?)
What have you learned
From all these stubborn people? (All these stubborn people)
Well, it doesn't bear thinking (It doesn't bear thinking)
When you look at it now (Look at it now)
When it's all against the needle (When it's all against the needle)
I couldn't believe you were never ashamed (You were never ashamed)

And if it's never too late [?]
Then why are you so resigned? (All the time)
I'm saving the date tonight (I'm saving the date tonight)
But isolation is insatiable (But isolation is insatiable)
Go on marching in (Go on marching in)
You will sail (You will sail)
Crisp and even in constant light (Crisp and even in constant light)
But shifted from its rest cannot be replaced (From its rest cannot be replaced)
The long race down the sides of your arms tonight (Down the sides of your arms tonight)

And what have you done? (And what have you done?)
Where can you live (Where can you live)
When it's all against the needle? (Against the needles?)
Constellation's all
Go on fading out
Once more into the morning
I was never ashamed (I was never ashamed)
You said
I was never ashamed
