I never knew quite what they were saying
That words could stand like a roof and walls
Not words that separate us
But the kind that give shelter when the evening falls
Why would I miss what I don't know?
Why should I fear what I can't see?
Every strange new place I go
Is always something familiar there for me
Chorus:
See that I'm standing on my own
And I don't mind standing alone
I might not know peace any other way
I might not hear the music she plays
Down in the theater of my dreams
Down where the darkest pictures play
Throw the curtains to the scenes
And reconcile what lay hidden from the day
Chorus:
See that I'm standing on my own
And I don't mind standing alone
I might not know peace any other way
I might not hear the music she plays
I never knew quite what they were saying
And that words could stand like a roof and walls
Not words that separate us
But the kind that give shelter when the evening falls
