Oh shadows they dance
Like stones on the water
Down the old sinner's road
Where devils consoled
Well the girl would not grow
In the memory garden
Climbed over the wall
To learn suffering foreign

For the prettiest eyes
Have cried many oceans
And the kindest of hearts
Have held the most pain
And when she returns
To the memory garden
Her feathers of wisdom
Will fall like the rain

Fall like the rain
Fall like the rain

And when she returns
Her feathers of wisdom

Will fall like the rain
