When the sun welcomes us in |
|
and the earth's protective skin |
|
fails and peels back, face to chin |
|
then we start it all again |
|
why do you frown? |
|
why do you try? |
|
why don't you lie down |
|
in the light? |
|
Who's gonna hold my heart |
|
Who's gonna be my own own own? |
|
Who's gonna know when all is dark |
|
that she is not alone? |
|
Heed this word: beware |
|
for my heart's ways are unclear |
|
a fundamental prayer |
|
leaves the evil one stripped bare |
|
why do you frown? |
|
why do you try? |
|
why don't you lie down |
|
in the light? |
|
Who's gonna hold my heart |
|
Who's gonna be my own own own? |
|
Who's gonna know when all is dark |
|
that she is not alone? |
|
everybody says that it's all right to be there |
|
everybody says that it's all right to show |
|
time and again one of us falls behind |
|
it's as if we tried to know what |
|
we can't really know |
