Hello Pig Lyrics

Walk Lightly

Half an hour's gone and here we belong,
Living it, so it cant be wrong.
Cos I was born the wrong way round,
Growing up while coming down.
But I didn't even know this,
When you took me by the hand,
That you talk ever so lightly, lately,
And you walk ever so slowly.

I didn't know and I didn't care,
What there was that could catch your breath,
But a moment gone is a moment caught,
And in half an hour I was taught,
That I didn't need to know this,
When you walked out of the night,
That you talk ever so lightly, lately,
And you walk ever so slowly.

I didn't move and I didn't breath,
To be there where you were.
I didn't think cos I didn't know,
That half an hour was spent,
And all of the days and all of the ways,
Will be there when you're gone,
Cos you talk ever so lightly, lately,
And you walk ever so slowly.

Half an hours gone and we're still together, 
Walking now beneath the weather,
All the dreams, all the pain,
All that's come back again,
But we don't need to be here, 
When it comes on oh so low,
Because you talk ever so lightly, lately,
And you walk ever so slowly.

Come on this time but not for us,
To be ther when we're gone,
And all of the days and all of the wold,
Are just half an hour long,
And all of the lives of all of the gods,
Will envy us our song.
Cos you talk ever so lightly, lately,
And you walk ever so slowly.
Yes you talk ever so lightly baby.

Voices On the Wind

Theres a man on the mountain,
Hides himself away,
A voice on the wind there, 
Is telling him to stay,
He knows on the outside,
The world has looked away,
From that night in the valley,
When they took them all away.

And the rock of ages 
Is broken at his feet,
History of centuries
Lies scattered down the street,
The houses are all empty now,
Left broken there to die,
The childrens playground burned and gone,
With noone left to cry.

[Chorus]
Can you hear,
Can you hear the sound of voices, 
Carried on the wind.
Can you hear,
Can you hear the sound of voices, 
Carried on the wind.

And he drowned himself in sorrow,
He drowned himself in drink,
He drowned himself in self-pity,
Until it made him sick.
And he knew he was no master,
Just a slave to himself,
To the voices that have tortured him,
That he'll take to his grave.

[Chorus]

Time passes slowly,
Sometimes he's at a loss,
He wishes that he could change it all,
But you cant turn back the clock.
He picks up the broken pieces
Of the oh so sacred rock,
And takes them to a safer place,
Where they'll be forever lost.

[Chorus]

Can you hear the sound of voices,
Carried on the wind.
Can you hear the sound of voices,
Carried on the wind.
