Lyrics The Tallest Man on Earth

The Tallest Man on Earth

A Lion's Heart

There's a palace a fallin'

There's a smoke in the sky

There's a boy running downhill to the lowlands tonight

And he's catching the train to where he's heard you

have been

He's a fool now among us, a dreamer within

Dreaming of you

And on that day there was snowfall in the street,

yellow light

And they quit the bill and rails just by those dark

shimmer eyes

In that land there's a winter

In that winter's a day

In that day there's a moment when it all goes your way

And you know it's a lion's heart

That will tumble and tear apart

When he's coming down the hills for you

But can you still now remember who's been hiding up

there?

Through his howling at twilight all his songs of

despair?

Do you remember the color of black and white crime?

Well he lives by that memory and falls from his mind

And you know it's a lion's heart

That will tumble and tear apart

When he's coming down the hills for you

Well I'll walk in the city forever

Oh, walk in a time to be gone

Well there's no real goodbye if you mean it

So I guess I'm forever alone

Now he's a stranger among us, he will die in the park

Where he hides from the statues and the weather remarks

In that land there's a winter

In that winter's a day

In that day there's a moment when it all goes away

And you know it's a lion's heart

That will tumble and tear apart

When it's coming down the hills for you
