|
In a village in the hills |
|
House buried to the window sills in snow |
|
In a prison yard at night |
|
An Alsatian barking for the stars to go |
|
In the attic of a house |
|
In the slats of light which creep across the room |
|
In a forest grove at dawn |
|
Where the animals sleep hidden in the gloom |
|
On the 97th floor overlooking Tokyo |
|
In Camden road in a second floor flat with Dilworth down below |
|
There is only one thing |
|
There is only one thing |
|
In a cancer ward where the patients sit |
|
Waiting patiently to die |
|
In an airplane high above |
|
The place you finally left behind |
|
In a cage where only one thing could be free |
|
And it's not you and I |
|
In every single place that has ever ever been |
|
Hiroshima, Los Angeles and each town in between |
|
There is only one thing |
|
There is only one thing |
|
One thing... |
|
In the darkest part of you that you have ever seen |
|
In the smile of the child staring at the TV screen |
|
In the diary of a priest |
|
In the sheets that lie upon his bed |
|
Out there amongst the waves |
|
And inside your lover's head |
|
There is only one thing |
|
There is only one thing |
|
There is only one thing |
|
There is only one thing |
|
There is only one thing |
|
There is only one thing |
|
There is only one...thing |
|
Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever |
|
Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever |
|
Ten years on the coast figuring out the weather |
|
Another decade getting high until you're free |
|
There's nothing after that but you and I |
|
Nothing after that but you and me |
|
Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever |
|
Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever |
