I think we better talk this over
Maybe when we both get sober
You ll understand I m only a man
Doin the best that I can.
This situation can only get rougher.
Why should we needlessly suffer?
Let s call it a daygo our own different ways
Before we decay.
You don t have to be afraid of looking into my face
We ve done nothing to each other time will not erase.
I feel displacedI got a low-down feeling
You been two-facedyou been double-dealing.
I took a chancegot caught in the trance
Of a downhill dance.
Ohchildwhy you wanna hurt me?
I m exiledyou can t convert me.
I m lost in the haze of your delicate ways
With both eyes glazed.
You don t have to yearn for loveyou don t have to be alone
Somewheres in this universe there s a place that you can call home.
I guess I ll be leaving tomorrow
If I have to begsteal or borrow.
It d be great to cross paths in a day and a half
Look at each other and laugh.
But I don t think it s liable to happen
Like the sound of one hand clappin .
The vows that we kept are now broken and swept
Neath the bed where we slept.
Don t think of me and fantasize on what we never had
Be grateful for what we ve shared together and be glad.
Why should we go on watching each other through a telescope?
Eventually we ll hang ourselves on all this tangled rope.
Ohbabetime for a new transition
I wish I was a magician.
I would wave a wand and tie back the bond
That we ve both gone beyond.
