Stingrays move from the dark to light blueDrawn to the shore by the fish that we threwOur skin, it was burnt by a stolen sunAs ships said goodbye and set sail for LondonWe'd walk through the treesUntil leaves gave way to sandAnd wondered what we'd doAfter falling every tree in the landBranches break and the purple bark shedsTo the soil then the street where the strangers all treadWe've tired out our muscles and the jokes are all spentAs we carry the timber like wounded old menWe'd walk through the treesUntil leaves gave way to sandAnd wondered what we'd doAfter falling every tree in the landRivers and roads run to the seaWhere boats wait like coffins down by the jettyThe last of the wood is taken belowNow the Karries are gone and the roses won't growWe'd walk through the treesSongtexteUntil leaves gave way to sandAnd wondered what we'd doAfter falling every treeWe'd walk through the treesUntil leaves gave way to sandAnd wondered what we'd doAfter falling every tree in the land Aus Songtexte Mania
