Lyrics
(Hammill - jackson)
We sat by ourselves, still looking for company; There could have been peace, but that eluded me - All I could think of was what was on my mind You tried to be kind But I blocked your feelings Now, senses still reeling, you sit in your quiet room and cry You tried to make me one But I always hide when there's a glimpse of sun
Running along in sunlight meadows Your eyes were never more than half-closed: Through fluttering lashes, you watched me watching you I tried to be true To the way that you thought I ought to be But, in spite of all my efforts I failed I tried to make you see But your eyes are blind to all but the bad in me
What do you think I mean When I say that I need you? How am I supposed to seem When we hit another problem And the answers are all torn from my book?
Our lives are on paths we just can't control; We can grow closer as we get old Can you imagine us as we adjust? Can you imagine us Getting near eighty; We live more sedately, still hoping the dreams will come true? We'll try to be secure
But I'm of uncertain mind And how can I be sure? How can I be sure?
