Lament (Remastered 2019)

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
