On Top of A World Lyrics

There's a blank page in a notebook
And the pen on the desk's all outta ink
There's a blank canvas on an easel
And the brushes are all dried up in the sink
There's an old guitar in the corner
And she needs a new set of strings
There's a sparrow somewhere in the shadows
And he's lost his will to sing

Chorus:
When there's no time for dreaming
Into the ground lay my old bones
I swear I'd rather be six feet under
Than on top of a world with no hope
Yeah a World without Art has no hope
My mind's humming like a locomotive
And he's 'bout to come right off the tracks
My heart she's pounding like a hammer
And she's anxious as a heart attack
There's a honey colored Sun on the horizon
And some cotton ball clouds scattered in the sky
There's a distant sound like children laughing
And I can see her face when I close my eyes

Chorus
