|
If I could hold on |
|
to just one thought |
|
For long enough to know |
|
Why my mind is moving so fast |
|
And the conversation is slow. |
|
Burn off all the fog |
|
And let the sun |
|
through to the snow |
|
Let me see your face again |
|
Before I have to go. |
|
I have seen you in the movies |
|
And in those magazines at night |
|
I saw you on the barstool when |
|
You held that glass so tight. |
|
And I saw you in my nightmares |
|
But I'll see you in my dreams |
|
And I might live a thousand years |
|
Before I know what that means. |
|
Once there was a friend of mine |
|
Who died a thousand deaths |
|
His life was filled with parasites |
|
And countless idle threats. |
|
He trusted in a woman |
|
And on her he made his bets |
|
Once there was a friend of mine |
|
Who died a thousand deaths. |
