You Can See Them There

Written by Sid Griffin

Passed me like a fountain, steady as a chair.
You can see them there, you can see them here.
Over by a busstop, slowing standing where,
You can see them there, you can see them there.
Counting days like hours, minutes don't count at all.
You can see them there, you can see them there.
A rainbow shines without them, their darkness has no dawn.
You can see them there, you can see them there.
 
Count the smiles around him, add the vacant stares,
Multiply by the grace of God, subtract the love of those who dare.
 
Stumbling down the sidewalk, he talks out to the air.
You can see them there, you can see them there.
An' sleepin' on a park bench, in a still-born city square.
You can see them there, you can see them there.
A paper bag for armour, the sky's stars shine for wear.
He can see them there, he can see them there.
The past just plain forgot him, the future does not care.
You can see them there, you can see them there.
 
Count the smiles around him, add the vacant stares,
Multiply by the grace of God, subtract the love of those who dare.
Count the smiles around him, add the vacant stares,
Multiply by the grace of God, subtract the love of those who dare.
Passed me like a fountain, steady as a chair.
You can see them there, you can see them there.
An' over by a busstop, slowly standing where,
You can see them there, you can see them there.
Counting days like hours, minutes don't count at all.
You can see them there, you can see them there.
A rainbow shines without them, their darkness has no dawn.
 
You can see them there, you can see them there, you can see them there,
You can see them there, you can see them there, you can see them there,
You can see them there, you can see them there, you can see them there,
You can see them there.
