Dog Parade - Violins Lyrics

I walked a hundred miles alone
To find a new place of being
A sacred garden of my own
I waited there by the door

I hardly could hear it
Softly the tune humming by
A warm familiar lullaby

I heard the trumpet score my writing
It pulled me up once I let down my guard
I heard the violins crying
I heard the drums pounding deep in my heart

I heard the party's mighty roar
Then cast my shadow on the door and I fell
Under the swell

I watched the moon begin to grow
Focus its beam out upon
A sacred garden of my own
They let me in through the door

You wouldn't believe me
But the lyrics were something alive
A revelation in simple time

But soon the rhythm called my blunder
They showed me things I couldn't even describe
I saw the drums create the thunder
I saw the melodies fly free in the sky

Distinct impossibilities
Illuminating hazy dreams and it's gone
For very long

Oh,
Oh
Cast its shadow on and on and on

I heard the violins crying

I saw the laughter in the heart of the room

I felt myself softly resigning

I saw a shadow on the face of the moon
