Вступление
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
It took hold of me
I saw a grown man crying
I ricocheted the difference as a stranger kindly watching
From a park bench across the street
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
And it took hold of me
I wonder what this man is borrowing
Has he unlocked the pattern from that well that he's been drawing from
As he dips the shadows unto his feet?
[Interlude]
[Verse]
And it took hold of me
Was someone planting him a garden?
Was her hair as long as the streams within a fountain
Pouring light
Into a home he could not keep
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
Oh how nice to see a pattern broken
When I've never even seen my father weep
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
So it took hold of me
Was someone planting him a daughter
Was her life as strong as the river pushing water from the sides
And gently out to sea
[Interlude]
[Verse]
And it took hold of me
I offer cigarette and lighter
I know it isn't much but if it makes spirits feel higher
We push the smoke out into the street
[Interlude]
[Outro]
Into the street
Into the street
