Either/Or

Oh have you ever just stood there And let the wind kiss your hair? And put your head in a lion's mouth But you didn't feel scared Oh well I've stood there trembling And still and will always be there All the things I've hated, I've been before I've fallen down slowly, just to kiss the floor I've heard the hell hounds, clawin' at my door Believe they wait, they hear your voice. Oh, have you ever just stood there, And watched the sun touch the land? And reached down really slow Just to kiss the forest sand. Oh, well I've stood there smiling And still, and will always be there. All the things I've hated, I've been before I've fallen down slowly, just to kiss the floor I've heard the hell hounds, clawin' at my door Believe they wait, they hear your voice. All the things I've loved I've been before, I've picked myself up off the floor And heard the dawn break against the door And known and believed it was something More like a voice less like a noise More like a soul less like a void And you can learn to live without it But your hearts gonna stay torn And you can try hard not to need it But you'll want it more and more Its like the calm before the storm OF COURSE
