Strip away the bones and skin

Looking for what lies within

See the stars so cold above

Makes no sense of your flesh and blood



You walked the longest walk

Talked the toughest talk

You were outside, something inside

Took away the words, want to hear again

You were outside, something inside



All of the days we thought would come

All of the words we thought had gone

All of the pain and pleasure gone

Without you



Strip away the bones and skin

Show me what lies within

Would you be the one that I love

Makes no sense of your flesh and blood



You walked the longest walk

Talked the toughest talk

You were outside, something inside

Took away the words, want to live again

You were outside, something inside



All of the days we thought would come

All of the words we thought had gone

All of the pain and pleasure gone

Without you



We'd be making love

Make it right



All of these we thought would come

All of the words we thought had gone

All of the pain and pleasure gone

Without you
