Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's traffic in the sky and it doesn't to be gettin' much better
There's kids playin' games on the pavement
Drawin' waves on the pavement, mm-hm
Shadows of the planes on the pavement, mm-hm
It's enough to make me cry but that don't seem like it would make it
Feel better, maybe it's a dream and if I scream
It will burst at the seams, whole place would fall into pieces
And then they'd say
[Verse 2]
Well, how could we have known?
I'll tell them it's not so had to tell, no, no, no
You keep addin' stones
Soon the water will be lost in the well
[Verse 3]
And puzzle pieces in the ground, no one ever seems to be diggin'
Instead they're lookin' up towards the heavens with their eyes on the heavens
Their shadows on the way to the heavens
It's enough to make me cry, but that don't seem like it would make it
Feel better, the answers could be found, we could learn from diggin' down
But no one ever seems to be diggin', instead they'll say
[Verse 4]
Well, how could we have known?
I'll tell them it's not so had to tell, no, no, no
If you keep addin' stones
Soon the water will be lost in the well
[Verse 5]
And words of wisdom all around, but no one ever seems to listen
They're talkin' about their plans on the paper
Buildin' up from the pavement, mm-hm
The shadows from the scrapers on the pavement, mm-hm
It's enough to make me sigh but that don't seem like it would make it
Feel better, the words are all around but the words are only sounds
And no one ever seems to listen, instead they'll say
[Verse 6]
Well, how could we have known?
I'll tell them it's really not so had to tell, no, no, no
If you keep addin' stones
Soon the water will be lost in the well
Lost in the well
