GGrowing tired, bDarely walking
WaEmlking over tDhis sweet grave 
WCinds grew bolder, Gbruised my shoulder 
NDot much left to say 
SGweet and spare now, Dholy sparrow 
SEminging softly Doutside 
WChen it's colder, Gwe'll feel older 
NDot much left to hide 
Chorus: 
We are EmbreatChing, we are Gseething 
We are Emhardly uCnderDway 
We have hGigh hDopes like the Gold Cpopes 
Even GSt. Peter's Dbones dGecay 
In the oGld times, we made Dup rhymes 
To siEmng ourselves to Dsleep at night 
It was wCild means, singing hGorse dreams 
Did nDothing wrong and nothing right 
Chorus 
MEmaking Cwishes like Gwine 
LEmosing sleep and Glosing Dtime 
EmMaybe sCilver or gGreen 
TChe world alive, the Dworld unseen

Walking over this sweet grave

Winds grew bolder, bruised my shoulder

Not much left to say

Sweet and spare now, holy sparrow

Singing softly outside

When it's colder, we'll feel older

Not much left to hide

We are breathing, we are seething

We are hardly underway

We have high hopes like the old popes

It was wild means, singing horse dreams

Did nothing wrong and nothing right
