Faithful

If the rain comes, they run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead if the rain comes
When the sun shines, they slip into the shade
And sip their lemonade, when the sun shines

Rain, i don't mind
Shine, the weather's fine

I can show you that when it starts to rain
Everything's the same, i can show you
Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines
It's just a state of mind, can you hear me

I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad

One more game, one more chance
One more orchestrated song and dance
He'd be up front and speak his peace
And ask for her time
To put their heads together
And try to make the knot unwind
And it strikes home that it's time to make his move
Or it's time to turn and walk away
So he plays that old cliché

Silent tears, bleeding heart
Well our prima donna plies her art
Defenses of defenses of faultless design
Still she's only asking him
To help her make the knot unwind
And if the very next words
Leaving her lips could decide
If he'd go or if he'd stay
She would play that old cliché

Who makes up the rules for the world?
Haven't we been down this road before?
Isn't anything peculiar here?
Certainly there must be something more

Where are the words, where are the words,
Where are the words
Where are the words, where are the words,
Where are the words
And it's almost not worth singing about,
It seems so everyday anyway
Still we play that old cliché

And here sit i, one man show
I vivisect and then pretend to know
All it ever gets me is an ache in the mind
Can't somebody help me to try to make the knot unwind
And i say what i say when i know
There's really nothing left to say
Then i play that old cliché
Throw away that old cliché

Let me take you down
'cause i going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever

Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me

No one i think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low
That is the catch you know
Tune in but it's all right
That is i think it's not too bad

Always know sometimes think it's me
But you know i know when it's a dream
I think i know, i mean, oh yes, but it's all wrong
That is i think i disagree

Some people tell me that love is a feeling
Or a possession
Somehow it seems so cold
And when they say love is sweet,
Does it mean that you eat it?
Maybe you drink it,
Does it fill up an empty hole?

I'm lookin' for a love and i may not find it
You know it doesn't mean a thing
Without some action behind it

Please come home
I can hear them calling
Please come home
Please don't leave us all alone
Your mama and your papa are crying all alone
You better let it magnetize, learn to sacrifice
'til we get the true version of
The meaning of the verb 'to love'
What does it mean to love?

And when somebody needs love,
Do they spend some money?
Say something funny,
Ask for some tenderness?
And when you wanna touch of love,
Do you lie on your back?
Stand on your head,
How do you feel it best?

I'm looking for a love with no strings attached
To take me like i am, that's the only catch

Please come home
I can hear them calling
Please come home
Please don't leave us all alone
Your wife and your lover are crying all alone
You better let it magnetize, learn to sacrifice
'til we learn the true version of
The meaning of the verb 'to love'

Does it mean any more,
The more you talk about it
Is it anymore real
If you jump around and shout it
I'm sick and tired of hearing
'bout everyone without it and
Too much talkin' sends me walkin'
Night is falling and everybody's calling for love

Everybody's lookin' for their one and only
It's only just a game 'cause they're scared to be lonely

Please come home
I can hear them calling
Please come home
Please don't leave us all alone
Your brothers and your sisters are crying all alone
You got let it magnetize, learn to sacrifice
'til we get the true version of
The meaning of the verb 'to love'
What does it mean to love?

Meeting people along my way
Seemingly i am among they
But in reality of things
What my dreaming always brings

Happenings ten years time ago
Situations we really know
But the knowing is in the mind
Sinking deep into the world of time

Looking in a room i see
Things that mean a lot to me
Why they do i never know
Memories don't strike me so

It seems to me i've been here before
Those sounds i heard and the sights i saw
Was it for real, was it in my dreams
I need to know what it all means

You say you love me and you thinking of me
But you know you could be wrong
You say you told me that you want to hold me
But you know you're not that strong

I just can't do what i done before
I just can't beg you anymore
I'm just gonna let you pass

I'm gonna last
'cause time will tell just who has fell
And who's been left behind
When you go your way and i go mine

You say you disturb me and you don't deserve me
But you know sometimes you lie
You say you're breaking and you're always aching
But you know how hard you try

Sometimes it gets so hard to care
You just can't be this way everywhere
I'm gonna let you pass

Well the judge he holds a grudge
He's gonna call on you
But he's badly built and he walks on stilts
Watch out he don't fall on you

You say you're sorry for telling stories
That you know i believe are true
You say you got some other kind of lover
And i guess i believe you do

You say my kisses aren't like his
This time i ain't gonna tell you why that is
I'm just gonna let you pass
