A weak heart beating A newborn breathing Such fragile living In skin as thin as a ray of light Your drunk friends drinking Backwards thinking You stare unblinking At a sad man weeping for his dying wife Gotta hop on your bike and ride out of town Get a view from the hills long suffering hills Everything in its right time comes One day it'll get sunny You will be alright, alright My old friend There's a mess in the water Oil in the river Blacker than a shadow The moon pulling at the ocean's edge Gotta hop on your bike and ride out of town Get a view of the hills long suffering hills Everything in its right time comes One day it'll get sunny You will be alright, alright My old friend Gotta hop on your bike and ride out of town Get a view from the hills long suffering hills Everything in its right time comes One day it'll get sunny You will be alright, alright My old friend You will be alright, alright My old friend
