I've been sitting on my hands for a long time In the company of hopes and fears In times when I was not so low I used to go out I'm thinking of the day you said you were alone I was still a girl Your giant boots came treading upon my little world Somehow it all seems brighter now that we have parted I guess that it was I'm tired I'll come back when it's quiet Pardon me, there's too much Blinding lights I'll hide until the day is through This town it ain't much of a thrill but I can live here It's true my company has changed a lot this past year Now it all slowly floats away The tide is turning And turn it should for it was I'm tired I'll come back when it's quiet Pardon me, there's too much Blinding lights I'll hide until the day is through The easy life ain't so easily found And when you're almost up there Something always pulls you down I put my ear to the empty shell The sound is weaker yet Too much... Somehow it all seems brighter now Somehow it all seems brighter now
