They called you a dreamer, we were seventeen |
|
The years went by so fast, now they call you other things |
|
All of the answers that you're dreamin' of |
|
They say that it's natural, but a grown man learns how to give 'em up |
|
You had an apartment and a woman once |
|
You paid the electric and the gas and water every month |
|
She said that she loved you and she wore your clothes |
|
Now she's in Dallas with a stand-up guy and a four year old |
|
There's a world out there, I know there is |
|
Where they play my songs on their silver harps and their violins |
|
If you remember one thing, remember this |
|
When the lights came up there was nothing left I could give |
|
All of your cousins and your relatives |
|
And confident husbands, faithful model citizens |
|
You saw them at Christmas when they left and sang |
|
You're so very different, why the hell can't you just feel the same? |
|
There's a world out there, I know there is |
|
Where they play my songs on their silver harps and their violins |
|
If you remember one thing, remember this |
|
When the lights came up there was nothing left I could give |
|
Sometimes a vision lights up your mind |
|
It's all you were given, like fragile fruit on a fragile vine |
|
There's a world out there, I know there is |
|
Where they play my songs on their silver harps and their violins |
|
If you remember one thing, remember this |
|
When the lights came up there was nothing left I could give |
