Well I sat down next to a photograph Tried my best almost made her laugh She was my toughest crowd There in the way was a moutain up in the clouds Well I can't sleep and I'm not in love I can't speak without messing up Eye's tell of what's behind And hers showed the way to a long and lonely climb But through failure I'll proceed And she'll see how far I've come And it's you and me in the sun and sea I'll offer my arms to yours It seems to me, no mystery Well it isn't So I'll try hard to speak Well I sat down next to a living hell Tried my best until I struck out Movement is not mine I stood in the way pretending that I was the vine But no failure will proceed from a mouth that drinks it's wine And it's not me Not my sanctity These aren't my words to you It's all clear when it's not from here So clear So I'll try not to speak
