Take A Look

If I asked my father if we could share a piece of bread I don’t think he would ever give me a stone to eat instead

And my love could grow

But if he got hungry and the number of children took a decline I trust that my mother would give him a stone in clothes of mine Take me alone, and care for my needs Put me in a stream among the reeds

And our love could float

There’s a lamb slain on the hill, but you’re looking for someone to kill And you know I need someone, too And all the doves you shoot from the sky can’t keep you satisfied Where did my love go?

Now that I’m older and able to see things as they are I know that stones break bones while words can break your heart

There’s a lamb slain on the hill, but you’re looking for someone to kill And you know I need someone, too And all the doves you shoot from the sky can’t keep you satisfied Where did my love go?

Take a look, take a look back Take a look at what you’ve done The walls are all glass and all the ceilings are cracked From all the stones you threw and all the ones they threw back

Take a look, take a look back Take a look at what you’ve done Leave it alone, how could anyone know All the ways you feel if you don’t know them yourself (repeat)

Take a look back Take a look at what you’ve done The walls are all glass and all the ceilings are cracked From all the stones ah, cut it out, now Cut it out now, cut it.
