Lament

It's strange the way that past seems always fine While the present wears me down, and time, and time And time lies heavy over me, and it does over you And the distance, and what you said I know it wasn't true Every hour, every minute, is like a hundred years And the pain I feel is measured not in inches But in tears So girl, so woman, friend or foe Just hold me close and please don't let me go Well, my life now is okey, in the morning, in the day But the night is long, the night is sad And that's when I have the dreams I know you never had I know that I was wrong, I know that I was bad So baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby Won't you come this way? I'm walking down the street I see the people that meet each other They kiss and talk and talk and kiss and talk But I feel so alone And the world is made of stone And everybody's freezing to the bones Even though it might be warm Even though it isn't cold It's strange the way that past seems always fine While the present wears me down and time and time And time lies heavy over me as it does over you And the distance and what you said I know it wasn't true
