Crystalline orbs on the ceiling
Stories that play in your head
Shadows that dance on the edge of believing
Whispering that dreams are better dead

Tell me a story about when you were young
Sing to me a song of nostalgia's bitter son
Paint me a picture with your words
Use the colors of honey, the colors of honey
The colors of honey and the feathers of the birds
That flew outside your window in the summer's morning light
You could hear their voices singing until winter brought the night

Dust covered glass in the window
Visions of faces unclear
Voices that travel whichever the way the wind blows
Blind to all the bones they left here

Tell me a story about when you were young
Sing to me a song of nostalgia's bitter son
Paint me a picture with your words
Use the colors of honey, the colors of honey
The colors of honey and the feathers of the birds

Can you hear them with their sorrowful songs do you see their starshine eyes?
A million burning flames combined, destruction as it flies

Tell me a story about when you grow old
Sing to me a song of tomorrow’s hope
Paint me a picture with your words
Use the colors of honey, the colors of honey
The colors of honey and the feathers of the birds
(The colors of honey)
That flew outside your window
(The colors of honey)
In the summer’s morning light
(The colors of honey and the feathers of the birds)
You could hear their voices singing until winter brought the night
