Rodney DeCroo Monument lyrics

She might be an accident or a monument,
a hidden fountain in my heart, a ghost ship in my head,
she's talking to the living, but she's singing for the dead.
She sent me a secret message, this is what it said.

I don't know where you're going
and I don't know where you're from,
they say down in the valley
you might not be the one.

I saw her on the mountainside she was wrestling with stone,
Carving out a portrait so she would not feel alone,
these faces of earth and these faces of sky,
what do all these faces got to do with you and I.

I don't know where you're going,
and I don't know where you're from,
they say down in the valley that you buried someone.
And I don't know where you're going,
and I don't know where you're from,
they say down in the valley
you might not be the one.


I wish that I could write a song to devastate your soul,
and once having heard it you never could be whole,
and so you'd have to find me and ask me for the parts,
so you could back together what was once your heart.

And I know it might sound cruel, like a wicked testament,
but I promise you these parable they have no ill intent.
I know the day will come, I'll see you again,
but first you'll have to lose those cloak and dagger friends.

I don't know where you're going,
and I don't know where you're from,
they say down in the valley that you buried someone.
And I don't know where I'm going,
and I don't know where I'm from,
they say down the valley
you might not be the one.
