They told us we could use another elephant br But we knew what they meant and couldn't see the point. br br So we decided to fill in the hole br And cover it over. br br We worked into the early hours. br We cried, some inwardly, some outwardly, br According to rank. br br Eventually the sounds of the night br Got quieter br And quieter, br Then ended. br br Ended in the saddest silence ever heard.
