Envy Of Angels |
| Look over there you used to say |
| The shape of the land beneath the street |
| Ridges and valleys and underground streams |
| You have to know what’s under your feet |
| So you can make things strong enough |
| To take the weight |
| The weight of all the people |
| Who haven’t been born |
| That’s what you said to me |
| It’s the envy of angels |
| Listen to that you used to say |
| Can you hear someone drawing plans |
| Can you hear someone cutting wood |
| Can you hear someone walking the land |
| When all the time i wanted to be |
| Somewhere that wasn’t so new |
| Where you didn’t have to dig yourself |
| A place to stand |
| Far away |
| From the envy of angels |
| Driving to your house after dark |
| The lights of the town behind these hills |
| I’m wanting so much to see you again |
| Can almost touch the new tarseal |
| In front of my wheels |
| They’re painting the signs |
| Measuring the land |
| Marking the lines |
| Laying foundations |
| Making them strong |
| For all of those people |
| Who haven’t been born |
| Just like you said |
| It’s the envy of angels |
| Just like you said |
| It’s the envy of angels |
