Because You Stood Still

You swallowed your tongue
Now you've had your fill
They said you did nothing
Because you stood still
Because you stood still
Because you stood still

Your red ragged wings and cold tiny hands
Will never be able to count all that sand
To count all that sand
To count all that sand

They said you were sick
Yeah you're mighty ill
They said you did nothing
Because you stood still
Because you stood still
Because you stood still
Because you stood still
Because you stood still
