Lyrics Walls Of The Cave - Phish

Walls Of The Cave

I’m leaving you a message,
I’m leaving you a trace,
I’m leaving thoughts for you
I hope that time will not erase.
And when the moment comes
To read the words that I engraved,
You’ll find them on the walls of the cave,
Of the cave.
I know you heard the question
But you didn’t make a sound,
And when it fell you caught my heart
Before it hit the ground.
But if you ever need the names
Of those you couldn’t save,
You’ll find them on the walls of the cave.
You’ll find them on the walls of the cave.
Look at me and time stands still
A mountain here is now a hill.
Look away,
Look away,
The time goes past.
These rocks will fall away at last.
Look away.
Maybe you will see it As you’re passing by alone,
Below the moss forgotten
Where some words that turned to stone.
It might have been an etching
On a marker of a grave,
Or maybe on the walls of the cave.
Listen to The silent trees
But still your words float on the breeze
Look away
I see them all
Carved into the cavern wall
