You and I Ah, the calm below that poisoned the river wild You and I Tears that dry on a rude awakened child Where you look down I've walked before Burning holes With eyes of liquid brown If we had only known In a way We wouldn't reach this ground You were my only home Silver eyes I want to see you shine And we will feel the weight Fall away from us in time Searching our past for the true You and I, you and I, you and I All for you Where you think you'll fall I adore you Where you shut your soul I will open for you If we had only known In a way We'd never reach this ground I'll know Silver eyes I can see us shine I said, we will feel the weight Fall away from us in time Searching our past for a true You and I, you and I, you and I All for you.

this was for me my darkest hour lasted some twenty one years a hopeless drunkard to the end, i thought a chronic drowner of my tears
no one to blame they say, well that's maybe better blame the parent than the baby left her time and again for drink once slumped unconscious by the bathroom sink
no way to take the pain no way to wash away the stain the shadow cast runs long and dour for those i loved my darkest hour
i would a golden hillside town make mine a place to live behind a mask i left my mark on her and thee just as he left his mark on me
no way to take the pain no way to wash away the stain the shadow cast runs long and dour for those i loved my darkest hour
this was for me my darkest hour lasted some twenty one years this fervent atheist does pray his darkest hour has gone its way
no way to take the pain no way to wash away the stain the shadow cast runs long and dour for those i loved my darkest hour

This day is the day that we rise or we fall This night is the night that we win or lose all This time is the time that we wait for a while This year is the year that we wait with a smile
If you call, we will follow If you show us we can tow the line
And now that you're here you can show me the way Now that you're here we can try make it pay For while you were gone it was hard it was cold While you were gone we were time we were old
If you call we will follow If you show us we can tow the line
There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Getting so much resistance from behind I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down What a field-day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly say, hooray for our side It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid You step out of line, the man come and take you away We better stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, now, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down
The plan it wasn't much of a plan I just started walking I had enough of this old town and nothing else to do It was one of those nights you wonder how nobody died we started talking You didn't come here to have fun you said: "well I just came for you"
Do you still love me? do you feel the same Do I have a chance of doing that old dance with someone I've been pushing away
And touch we touched the soul the very soul, the soul of what we were then With the old schemes of shattered dreams lying on the floor You looked at me no more than sympathy my lies you have heard them My stories you have laughed with my clothes you have torn
And do you still love me? do you feel the same And do I have a chance of doing that old dance again Is it too late for some of that romance again Let's go away, we'll never have the chance again
You lost that feeling You want it again More than I'm feeling you'll never get You had a go at all that you know You lost that feeling so come down and show
Don't say goodbye let accusations fly like in that movie You know the one where Martin Sheen waves his arm to the girl on the street I once told a friend that nothing really ends no-one can prove it So I'm asking you now could it possibly be that you still love me? And do you feel the same Do I have a chance of doing that old dance again Or is it too late for some of that romance again Let's go away, we'll never have the chance again
I take it all from you I take it all from you I take it all from you I take it all from you
People are strange when youre a stranger Faces look ugly when youre alone Women seem wicked when youre unwanted Streets are uneven when youre down When youre strange Faces come out of the rain When youre strange No one remembers your name When youre strange x3 People are strange when youre a stranger Faces look ugly when youre alone Women seem wicked when youre unwanted Streets are uneven when youre down When youre strange Faces come out of the rain When youre strange No one remembers your name When youre strange x3 When youre strange Faces come out of the rain When youre strange No one remembers your name When youre strange x3
Yeah!, come on, come on, come on, come on Now touch me, baby Cant you see that I am not afraid? What was that promise that you made? Why wont you tell me what she said?

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears. Wish you were here
As I sat sadly by her side At the window, through the glass She stroked a kitten in her lap And we watched the world as it fell past Softly she spoke these words to me And with brand new eyes, open wide We pressed our faces to the glass As I sat sadly by her side
She said, father, mother, sister, brother, Uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, Soldier, sailor, physician, labourer, Actor, scientist, mechanic, priest Earth and moon and sun and stars Planets and comets with tails blazing All are there forever falling Falling lovely and amazing
Then she smiled and turned to me And waited for me to reply Her hair was falling down her shoulders As I sat sadly by her side
As I sat sadly by her side The kitten she did gently pass Over to me and again we pressed Our different faces to the glass That may be very well, I said But watch the one falling in the street See him gesture to his neighbours See him trampled beneath their feet All outward motion connects to nothing For each is concerned with their immediate need Witness the man reaching up from the gutter See the other one stumbling on who can not see
With trembling hand I turned toward her And pushed the hair out of her eyes The kitten jumped back to her lap As I sat sadly by her side
Then she drew the curtains down And said, when will you ever learn That what happens there beyond the glass Is simply none of your concern? God has given you but one heart You are not a home for the hearts of your brothers
And God does not care for your benevolence Anymore than he cares for the lack of it in others Nor does he care for you to sit At windows in judgement of the world he created While sorrows pile up around you Ugly, useless and over-inflated
At which she turned her head away Great tears leaping from her eyes I could not wipe the smile from my face As I sat sadly by her side
you're waisting your time coming round here what got you to thinking there was something new going on

so play it for me
sometimes it works sometimes it don't you know some days it hurts some days it feels real good
sometimes it hurts sometimes it don't you know some days it works so good i can't see my way home

a little sip, but no more hey, you belong to me now don't you wander too far
so play it for me and i'll play it for you so play it for me and i'll play it for you
