sidewalk and sky i am thinking of something only bold and dreamy like you and i holding hands under the twisted tree and the gray eugene between sidewalk and sky and i'm looking in your eyes alright alright! alright! well alright! I woke up sunday morning I had eyes in my face i said yeah i said yeah well alright sidewalkin' i never thought i'd have to walk so far from home i never thought i'd have to walk so far alone the sidewalk seems so gray today and i wanted some place to play today i took to you and i gave you what there was i gave you too much and now i want something back the sidewalk seems so gray today and i wanted some place to play today i'm always saying is it gonna rain today snow. when the clouds start to gather and then i know that it doesn't matter if the wind could carry me out past the breakin' sea and my sopul starts to rise and i know that i just don't know outside the snow is fallin' down and it's stickin' on the ground and i knopw that one day i might have to explain about the whistle of a train and how it carried all through town how we walked down the pavement you and i holding hands as the cars speed by maybe just a foot away from a bus and a bus was a very big car it held forty people or more and the drivers wore special uniforms you know i wanna be sentimental while i can cause i'm livin' in someone else's history and this is important to me crayons i got my paper and i got my crayons i'm gonna use my own two hands i got my paints and i got my water i'm gonna send a letter to your father's daughter i'm sticking down things with elmer's glue for i must communicate with you it's a long story and it starts out like this i want you to know me and me to know you too moment i lost the moment and now i want it back i wish someone could care about what happens in my mind something entered through my eyes and exploded deep inside now that's about as original as breathing, son that's about as original as once being young that's about as original as losing your last chance can't you think of anything better than that? i don't wanna face the future but i guess it's always there i don't wanna have to stand for what it may seem to demand so why are you putting these hammers in my hand? dinosaur i'm a dinosaur and i am big and dumb and i am waiting for your love and i am dying for your love though time may prove me wrong though time may prove me dead i remain a dinosaur for your love i am waiting in the rain in the changing tropical rain my sad eyes search in vain i am waiting for your love hurt. mother father watch for me i'm gonna walk through your dreams tonight from this vantage point i see unwrap the mystery of this life beat me blind me make me right teach me turn me make me yours pack me up and send me off under the wheels of this machine and i know that it's so much more than trying to understand me and that makes me hurt and that makes me laugh wake up screaming in the middle of the night wake up screaming why are you so far away and i don't know it's so much more than trying to understand you and that makes me hurt and that makes me laugh there's ten generations of pain hangin' on this sickly frame they say lining well's the best revenge but i'm tossing and turning in my broken bed and i know old bridges i want nothing better i want nothing more to cross old bridges with you again i her the cry of tangled youth and water across old bridges with you again i know i know i know i know it's true seasons eye to eye nose to nose here we are in our clothes again got a secret for me to hear in my fear stand together hands together just like sand together deep thought deep eyes why you cry tell me why i am i and i might understand and i might understand it's raining it's snowing sun is shining wind is blowing now you're here now you're gone out to lunch with your mom again i'm overboard or out of reach the scars of each barely reach the skin and we have walked on every sidewalk in this town and now i know where your heart aches where it's healed and where it breaks and what it needs and what it takes and we have known many special seasons together 20,000 leagues 20,000 leagues under the sea that's where my baby said she'd meet me 20,000 leagues deep deep deep 20,000 leagues in her troubled sleep cos under covers do you suppose we could be like this and only one of us knows i am a person taht you must know and see how my locked doors got closed cos under covers do you suppose we could be like this and only one of us knows here's a picture of me at 17 stuck in the house mom and dad and me maybe you could see or maybe just know how bad i felt in my room alone i felt so safe at the age of 3 hangin' in the kitchen mom and bear and me why'd it have to change so suddenly i didn't want to know i was afraid to go 20,000 leagues under the sea that's where my baby said she'd meet me 20,000 leagues come and find the rest of me |
