Heart Of Glass

I've heard of a shepherd
He knew many things
Sitting on the edge of time
Consuming in his dreams
Waving his hand at the clouds
Wondering beneath the stars
How lonely can you get
With a heart of glass

From the villages around
People would come to him
"Will there be a new morrow ?"
As soon as the daylight grew dim
But none would really listen
To the pale shepherd Hias
How lonely can you get
With a heart of glass

One day the prince told him
"Help me find the ruby."
But Hias shrugged and covered
The noble head with a prophecy
Said : "Prince, what you're looking for
Is merely lying in the grass."
How lonely can you get
With a heart of glass
