I fell in love with a voice in the midnight air,
Gliding across the room she was studying me
Such a simple thing to do
The touch of her hand,
A question
If I gave you my life,
Would you let it slip,
Through your fingers like water in the dessert
If I gave you my heart,
In the deep of the night,
Would you hold it like a candle giving you light
Days fell away into years
Sunset memories
Standing on the edge of it all she was worrying me
Such a typical thing to do
The reach of her hand-
Connection
If I gave you my life,
Would you let it slip,
Through your fingers like water in the dessert
If I gave you my heart,
In the deep of the night,
Would you hold it like a candle giving you light
Life fell away from her voice in the midnight air
Lying on the moonlit ground she was looking up at me
Such a simple thing to do
Just as simple as the way she fades away
Open your eyes
Close your ears
Close your ears
Open your eyes
Listen to the words you see
You are blind to what you hear
Listen to the words you see
Do not fear the truth beneath
Reach for roots beneath the trees
Listen to the words you seek
Don't listen to a word they say
Do NOT listen to a word you've heard
Do not listen to a word you've heard
People are people we live for our own
Live how you think not by what you've been told
I've been a fool
I've been a fool
Walking the line with both of my eyes shut
And I'm begging you I'm begging you
Don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard
This world is full of strangers this world is full of 'hypocrites'
Scratching for their winnings at least I am one to admit
Born in a world relying on gold
I've yet to find someone under control
People are people and we live for our own
Live how you think not by what you've been told
Don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard
Don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard
The flag waves up above you for liberty and freedom
And fighting for your nation killing a wive's daughter's husband's son and you're told that
You're being attacked by terrorist invasions but over and over again it is you who points the gun
Hey now don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen
To a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard.
