'Cause you're not frightened
 The way I've been
 So I follow you
 Just in case you lose your way
 So glad you could let me stay around

 The chain link fence you climbed
 To make forbidden lakes our own
 Yours and mine
 And with the ease of sea gulls
 We cut the engines and cruise high
 In the summer sky

 Now I could speak to everything
 But there's no room for my voice
 When sweet feedback is
 Jumping through the hoop of your ear
 Ring there goes the phone
 And then you're off again
 On what the caller brings

 So I went and trashed myself at the bar
 Confused for nothing thinking you'd be there
 I'm so embarrassed 'cause it's you
 Who comes to take care of me
 Shambling home again with you to lead
 And it's not the way I want to go

 And I'm mad at you and I'm mad at me
 Talking endlessly, not a kind word to say
 Till your amber beads of wisdom come
 And I want to write it down
 Just the way you said it
 So I could keep it always

 I can't forget the smell
 Of summer trees at midnight
 Bending backwards to please the wind
 You touch the tattoo of the sun
 On a warm belly that once carried a baby for a while
 Then let the cracked leather jacket round you fold
 Red face saints monogrammed in gold
 And in this beauty I would not go any further
 'Cause I suddenly remembered
 We can't live this way forever

 Idle daylight
 I've never caught you in a lie
 Not until now
 I feel somehow
 The passing of these days gone by
 What will you do when the feeling
 That you have is through

 I need to know
 'Cause I'll never stop hanging on to you
 And it's times like this that I dread
 When there's everything to say
 And nothing left
 To be said
