Desolation Row - Hannah Peel

Utopia it dies, the day it is born

I’m afraid of losing it all

If we speak of it is the memory gone?

Walking up those stairs

Waking up each day with you

Deep in the Garden of Eden

If there’s lies we’re choking on leaves of ivy

We live inside these walls

Don’t know what’s grief or love

But don’t forget what you’re building for!

Uh, uh, uh, uh

Looking at this house and what I will miss

I’m reminded of things that don’t own me

If I stay here now will I always be lonely?

Desolation row, along these roads

Will they take me somewhere?

If your tears dry up, does it mean it’s over?

We live inside these walls

Don’t know what’s grief or loss

But don’t forget what you’re building for!

We live inside these walls

In life we rise and fall

Don’t forget what you built it for!

We live inside these walls

To feel safe from grief or love

But don’t forget to step outside it all!

We live inside these walls

Don’t know what’s grief or loss

But don’t forget what you’re building for!

We live inside these walls

In life we rise and fall

Don’t forget what you built it for!
