lyrics

Oh, the open halls of the soul
I wouldn't be surprised,
if we never sang this song again,
no, I wouldn't be surprised,
if we never sang this song again.

Only music sets my soul free,
my hearts a gem,
wrapped up in your song again.

Hear the branches break beneath the tree?
Oh, what will will I do,
if I stop loving you?

Oh, the open halls of the soul,
I wouldn't be suprised,
if we never sang this song again.

Oh the open halls of the soul,
I wouldn't be surprised,
if we never sang this song again,
No, I wouldn't be surprised,
if we never sang this song again.

The ocean beaches will all be washed away,
I must let you go,
you show me so most everyday.

Damaged stars fall silent to the sea,
oh, the lonely life of a fool,
of a fool like me.
