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?
