He comes out of silence and
opens the door
Waiting for someone to die
Deep in her heart she is
hoping for
The long-lost one
How could she know when the
promise was made?
So how can it end in this way?
Then four gray walls
come tumbling down
And just because her
skin was brown
No wonder she has grown so fast
Those four gray
walls were meant to last
The friends there that
she can count upon
Take orders, but always the
spirit holds
Scenes of the never-ending trend
She waits for the hours and
hours to pass
She looks to the hourglass
<Interlude>
Then four gray walls
come tumbling down
And just because
her skin was brown
No wonder she has grown so fast
Those four gray walls
were meant to last
Those four gray walls
were meant to last
As the shadows come down
She sees him leaving
She can recall
Seems that this fire
has lost its form
The form of the hourglass
<Interlude>
The four gray walls
came tumbling down
And just because her
skin was brown
No wonder she has grown so fast
Those four gray walls
were meant to last
Those four gray walls
were meant to last
<Interlude>
Those four gray walls
Four gray walls
