Hope climbs atop of the piano Reaching out towards the warmth of the sun Some man tries to ask her down But now maybe that's where she belongs My God she said, I'm the sunflower who wants My god he said, This woman is gone Into the dark Is there anybody there My god she said He climbed up top to find that she was slipping Let her go, let her go, let me go How long must we leave before we're winning They don't know, they don't know they just don't know If she can't be there I know it's best that Nothing is denied If she can't be there it's best that Everyone change sides
