These Stones Used To Be

These stones used to be a palace
This grass used to be green

And this man he felt down
He knew he would
He found his way out
He knew he could

He did what he had
What he had to do
Building everything
Everything anew

But all was gone
Gone in the spring
But all was gone
In the mad air of spring

He could not forget
For all ends but love
His wounds have opened again
And now he's lost
And now it's too late
He ain't coming back
Although he knows the way

He did what he had
What he had to do
Building everything
Everything anew
