One day it occurred to me, I'd gotten good at faking laughs Twisting and turning down street corners, again and again, got me here At what corner, on what street, did I make a wrong turn? Searching for something I dropped long, long ago...
One day it occurred to me, I'd been crying less than ever Just born the way I was, I went walking all across this town That alley, that park, they've shrunk so small... And I still wear clothes with sleeves too short...
A procession of saints, a hymn and a prayer, Wrap your bandages around this town; I await the healing... While I keep on regretting...
One day it occurred to me, I could no longer see things far away The streetlights bursted, and came to look like fireworks Though I want so much to see into someone else's heart... I can't even see the text on a sign just in front of me...
One day, in a waiting room, I was together with a woman She was a beautifully smiling sort, no words could describe her well enough But even though we both lived here in this town... Thinking that way was too embarrassing, I couldn't bear it...
The play of angels, the breath of a goddess, Pour your water on this town; I await the healing... While I keep on regretting...
A procession of saints, a hymn and a prayer, Wrap your bandages around this town; I await the healing... While I keep on regretting...
The play of angels, the breath of a goddess, Pour your water on this town; I await the healing... While I keep on regretting...
