Yeah, yeah | |
Well, well | |
I took a walk down to the port | |
Where strangers meet and do consort | |
All blinkered with desire | |
And a winter fog moved thickly on | |
A winter fog moved thickly on | |
A winter fog moved thickly on | |
Now, who will be the witness | |
When the fog's too thick to see | |
And i saw a friend beside a wall | |
Her hands were raised in supplication | |
And her face i could not see at all | |
And i raised my hands in rage | |
And brought them down again | |
And we entered through the eastern door | |
And i entered through the eastern door | |
And she entered through the eastern door | |
Now, who will be the witness | |
When you're all to blind to see | |
O yes, yes, yes | |
And time gets somewhat muddled here | |
But no matter, no matter | |
Here come the events all tumbling down | |
Now, beyond the wall was a great garden | |
Into which we passed | |
Me and my friend | |
And the place was all overgrown with weeds | |
And behold from its centre there rose a great fountain | |
The fountain with the healing waters | |
And we knelt down by the rim | |
And i dipped my hand in | |
And she dipped her hand in too | |
And i said "are you healed?" | |
And she said "well are you healed?" | |
And i said "yes, i'm healed" | |
And she said "well, yes i'm healed then too" | |
And i said "babe, you are a liar" | |
"babe, you are a liar" | |
"babe, you are a liar, too" | |
Now, who will be the witness | |
When you're all to healed to see | |
And i kissed her once, i kissed her twice | |
And made my way to leave her | |
And she raised her hand up to her face | |
And brought it down again | |
I said "that gesture, it will haunt me" | |
"that gesture it will haunt me" | |
And i left there by the eastern door | |
She left there by the western door | |
Now, who will be the witness there | |
When you're blind and you can't see | |
Who will be the witness there | |
When you're all so clean and you cannot see | |
Who will be the witness there | |
When your friends are everywhere | |
Who will be the witness there | |
And your enemies have ceased to care | |
(ad lib) |
