there's the house I used to live in

and the windows they are shut

there's the car I used to drive

but the doors are safely locked



is there no one

who can help me now?

is there no one

who can guide me out?



this is the road I used to walk on

but the pavement is cracking up

one of the things I couldn't give you:

a steady faith in things to come

and this is the evening light I speak of

when we talk the whole night through

what were the words I tried to tell you:

do you know that I love you?



and then she said:

you have to turn

but turn the other way around!

then she said to me:

there's a rhythm in you!

a rhythm you just have

to follow through!

then she said to me:

there's a melody in you!

a melody you just have

to sing out loud!
