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
you're waisting your time coming round here what got you to thinking i had a different song
been lying awake all night trying to figure out it's that old song keeps running around in my head
you're waisting your time coming round here
but what's good for me is not necessarely for the best 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
been climbing these old walls why don't they screamin what a cheat you are (i knock you...) cos nothing else comes near me you got this trick on the world
me have the sharpest chisel the keenest eye it's just that old song i only got the one
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
i may have unscrewed the top just to hear that sound i may poor little just to see the light shining thru
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
Maybe I didn't love you Quite as often as I could have Maybe I didn't treat you Quite as good as I should have If I made you feel second best Girl I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you All those lonely, lonely times And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time
You were always on my mind You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your Sweet love hasn't died And give me Give me one more chance To keep you satisfied satisfied
Little things I should have Said and done I just never took the time
You were always on my mind You were always on my mind You were always on my mind....
Anyone who's ever had a heart Wouldn't turn around and break it And anyone who's ever played a part Wouldn't turn around and hate it
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane Sweet, sweet Jane You're waiting For Jimmy down in the alley Waiting there For him to come back home Waiting down on the corner And thinking of ways To get back home
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane Sweet, sweet Jane Anyone who's ever had a dream Anyone who's ever played a part Anyone who's ever been lonely And anyone who's ever split apart
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane Sweet, sweet Jane Heavenly widened roses Seem to whisper to me When you smile Heavenly widened roses Seem to whisper to me When you smile
Is it hard or is it cool, my friend To be two people in your head, all day? I wish that you could be one personality So you could talk & think the same And this all would pass by
Never alone, always together Maybe youre blessed, maybe youre cursed Never alone, always together Sometimes I think it could be worse
Is this truth or is the other telling lies You change your voice and then to my surprise Youre waging war behind your victim eyes One of you laughing while I hear the other cry
Never alone, always together Maybe youre blessed, maybe youre cursed Never alone, always together Sometimes I think it could be worse
Never alone, always together Maybe youre blessed, maybe youre cursed Never alone, always together Sometimes I think it could be worse
Look into my eyes You see trouble every day Its on the inside of me So dont try to understand I get on the inside fo you You can blow all away
Such a slightest breath And I know who I am
Look into my eyes Hear the words I cant say Words that defy And they scream it out loud
I get on the inside of you You can wave it all away Such a slightest thing Its just the rise of your hand
And theres trouble every day Theres trouble every day Theres trouble every day Theres trouble every day
If I want you back I could get away Before the sunshine leaves your eye But I need to know How to find a place Before the days become nights Before the years become lies
And theres trouble every day
You know that I love again Please make it start again
Theres trouble every day
You know that Ill always hear The words that you never say
Theres trouble every day
This time its startling me The words I can never say
Theres trouble every day
You know that Ill always hear The words that you never say
[Repeated over:]
Look into my eyes Hear the words I cant say
You know that Ill always hear The words that you never say
