I remember that we were building a shelter from the storm
In a clearing in a corner of the world
The grass we lay upon
The trees that kept us dry
Took our breath and gave it back to reach their fingers to the sky
In the days before the coming of the hollow men
In every corner of the world
Our lives were not so hollow then
And we'll dance on their bones when they're gone
Are you awake?
Do you hear the thunder?
Are you still lost inside the dream
While the sandmen are knocking at your door
Every street and every brook
Every valley, every nook
The air is getting thinner and the cracks are getting wider
And they talk and talk and talk and talk
And I hope that you remember
The days before the hollow men come
The days before the hollow men come
And we'll dance on their bones when they're gone
And I remember
And I remember
And i remember
(I will never forget
