Reply Only With a Lyric...

Excuse me if I spoke too soon
My eyes have always followed you around the room
'Cause you're the only god I'll ever need
I'm holding on, I'm waiting for the moment to find me
 
Will you still love when I'm no longer young and beautiful
Will you still love when I got nothing but my aching soul
I know you will, I know that you will
 
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town
 
These days won't last forever
these days won't last for long
you know somebody somewhere owes us a favour
that's how things usually get done
 
Somebody said to me
you know that i could be in love with almost everyone
i think that people are the greatest fun
 
We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand it'll be all right...

You can let me down easy, but not tonight
 
I wanna hold the hand inside you
I wanna take the breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life, you go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go blind
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there
 
I want the hummingbirds
The dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
I look into the stars
I look into the moon
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing out punchlines
That were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers
In full bloom
I'm looking for answers
From the great beyond
 
Here, there are lots of things to do
And a panoramic view
Of the universe completely surrounding you
And here, you cannot buy souvenirs
We're never going back, never, never
Basically, I guess it could be worse
Yes, I do suppose it could be worse
Here, there are many, many sheep
And the people only sleep
And awake to tell how gory and gruesome was their end
And I don't have many friends
And it's really very clean and I'm thinking
Juliet, you broke our little pact
Juliet, I'm never coming back
 
But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand
Miles to fall down at your door
 
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
 
And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all

And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
 
If God persists, persists in saying "yes"
I guess we'll have, we'll have to test ourselves
Maybe the summer will come and clear our minds
And find the impulse to love the sunshine
