You who thought |
|
Your eyes could tell no lies |
|
So your life became a compromise |
|
And it was you |
|
Who had seen men dyin' |
|
You heard their children cryin' |
|
While their women weep in silence |
|
And you who thought you were so wise |
|
Succeeded only in disguise |
|
Now and then |
|
You'd find a bridge to cross |
|
Reach the other side |
|
And you'd still be lost |
|
Evaded by the sweet smell of life |
|
And the people that you try |
|
To show the way |
|
Never believe you |
|
Never believe you - no way |
|
And you who thought you were so wise |
|
Succeeded only in disguise |
|
Now and then |
|
You'd find a bridge to cross |
|
Reach the other side |
|
And you'd still be lost |
|
Evaded by the sweet smell of life |
|
While your women weep in silence |
|
Your women weep in silence |
|
Women weep in silence |
