When I see you cry well you know that I just feel such desperation
 And it seems that I'll never understand this crazy situation
 And it seems that lovers must be sad just to make some complication
 
 And you can't hold on to the silver and gold
 The silver won't have you and the gold's been sold
 
 When I close my eyes on the long hard day and I drift into my dreaming
 It's the brightest lights that I want to hold all the rest have no real meaning
 And it seems that good friends have to part for to stay is too revealing
 
 And that's the way it seems when there's nothing in this world of which we're certain
 You can see we're lost and it's obvious we're in need of some direction
 Oh and all the shadows closing in, they're just some old reflection
