The day I first saw you The day I realized I was in love with you I would not have believed that it would be the last I'd ever see of you You told me you were not like all the rest You said you had a difference You drove into the night, and I believed though I did not know what you meant
A dream to dream You told me you had waited for a year to fill your dream And then we let it slip away like dreams do Like the other dreams I've seen I know I should have called I should forget I know some people could forget Some people never dream, but with a little difference you look within
And I saw you
Sometimes I still wish I could find a way that would have made you understand You had it in your hand, but you must have gone and found another band The sidewalks shared my dreams To the nightime streets I traveled once I came While people watched T.V. 'Cause with a little difference it's not the same
So I hit the streets again And suddenly I felt like I did then Still I felt the wind And it was singing of a chance again
And in a vision I watched as the whole damn thing unwound While the doctors and lawyers and cops just stood around They stood 'round The walls fell to the ground
You know you must believe You know it must come down They shiver with the sound When you feel it, too, it'll call for you It's tumbling down
Come the 17th, the only killers on the streets are the police Some people might have died Some people shook their heads and stayed inside Some people left L.A. Some people joined the rockabilly train Some people watch T.V. But with a little difference you look within And I saw you...
