Lyrics
You’re telling me Detroit’s growing over
You’re telling me nothing stays the same
I woke at dawn by the white cliffs of dover
I’m coming home across that sea of pain
And we can listen to one another’s song
We can fix we can fix whatever’s wrong and baby
We can love again
Just breathe and count to ten
You’re telling me that the whole world’s in trouble
Too many madmen have had their way
Reduced to tears or else reduced to rubble
I’m buying time to fight for one more day
We’ve both been slaves to destroy and recover
How many years does it take to discover baby
We can love again
Just breathe and count to ten
As you slide in between all the covers
And whisper to me that if Detroit can recover baby
We can love again
Just breathe and count to ten
We can love again
Just breathe and count to ten
