The closest you've ever come to me
|
Was to help me up the stairs
|
You stood in the middle of the stairway
|
You nearly dragged me up the stairs
|
"You've been asleep."
|
"Well, I've been asleep for how long?" she says
|
"Why do you question me?"
|
He says, "You never cared about time before, my friend."
|
|
Seems like a thousand days since you've been gone...
|
Seems like a thousand days since you've been gone...
|
|
You're not my friend, you're not my love
|
And this is something that we really don't discuss
|
If there is no time, and there is no place.
|
And, if there was, well, you'd never leave a trace
|
And as all arch angels do to you
|
And as all arch enemies will finally do to you, too
|
Well, I found you
|
|
Quiet now, songbird, just for one night
|
Well, I know that you love to sing
|
And, oh baby, well, I know that you love to write
|
You live by the light of the moon
|
And I live by light of desire
|
Ooh, such words to her over the phone
|
"Just how many people are there with you now"
|
|
Well, I can see the trouble
|
The sun is here today and I requested a storm
|
But I like some kind of TIME/LIFE edition,
|
Tradition, competition...
|
Being the only thing that I really have to remember
|
The great singers and the great players
|
|
And if the sun warms up the rain,
|
And the rain puts out the sun
|
Why does the greatest love become the greatest pain?
|
|
So, where are you?
|
Sometimes I hear you crying
|
And I wake up, and still I wake up crying
|
|
Well, he is on my mind..he's everywhere
|
And if he followed me home,
|
Will the sound of both of our voices simply disappear?
|
Well, I miss you now...
|
|
He laughs
|
He has an attitude so I have an attitude, too
|
He knocks on the door next to the courtyard
|
Well, he frightens me so, I let him in
|
But I'm already, well, I'm already screaming
|
How can the greatest love come from the greatest pain?
