|
I heard you talk last night |
|
Couldn't even speak a word |
|
Love has got me by the tongue |
|
It's nothing you haven't heard |
|
In between what's true and false |
|
In between what's loud and soft |
|
I asked you about the past |
|
You didn't want to talk about it |
|
You didn't want to trouble me |
|
It's just old history |
|
She's got too much imagination |
|
She's the queen of variation |
|
Try so hard to make you forget |
|
See yourself in the TV set |
|
And I remember when my parents met |
|
It was years before my birth |
|
And I can see them years from now |
|
Their ghosts fly above the earth |
|
And let's not talk about what makes us die |
|
Let the jokes make the years go by |
|
Cause it's a burden it's hard to bear |
|
It's too easy to not even care |
|
Baby baby, you look so sweet |
|
Pick me up right off my feet |
|
And we'll go down to the world of dreams |
|
It's so hard but that just how it's seems |
|
There's a mask upon the wall |
|
In between the window and the hall |
|
In between all things ever done |
|
What's ahead and where you come from |
|
If you could would you fly away? |
|
Stick around for another day |
