you who love the truth

Singer:don mclean

black crows in the summer sky. wheat fields turned to gold

workers in the blazing sun. forests in the cold

farmers in a cabin room. portraits of your eyes

look at me in painful gloom

they've seen so many lies

you who love the truth

you who love the truth

you who love the truth have seen

so many lies

skeletons smoke cigarettes. a blazing sun that never sets

a purple forest in the haze. hands that know of common ways

some survive their shattered dreams

but you are lost in colour schemes

falling down between the seams

you've seen so many lies

you who love the truth

you who love the truth

you who love the truth have seen

so many lies

i wonder how you'd feel today

if you knew the millions that they'd paid

for canvas glowing with your heat

shown in airconditioned suites

with glass and steel and carpet floors

stored in crypts as cold as yours

portraits of your bleeding eyes

eyes that saw so many lies

you who love the truth

you who love the truth

you who love the truth have seen

so many lies

you who love the truth

you who love the truth

you who love the truth
