Somebody Told Me

Somebody told me,
That you walked
All the way here,
Just to find me,
But now youre here,
Weve got nothing to say.

Fear and insecurity,
Stole away our dreams
But your face sings songs id love to hear
But I dont know what it means
Should I take your hand and pick you up
And walk off in the sun?
Or we sit in silence and drink our tea,
Then turn our backs to run?

Well never know
Well never try
Were growing old and soon well die.

Cos somebody told me
That you smile
All through the day time
But you cry at night
When youre alone
Cos youve got no one to hold.
Life and love can come and go
Or leave us in the cold
But well freeze to death before we see
What cant be bought and sold
Should we sing these songs of innocence
Or just close our eyes and hope?
That a better world is possible
If we rise above the smoke?

Well never know
Well never try
Were growing old and soon well die.

Somebody told me,
That they saw,
You from afar
And that youd grown old
And when you died
That thered be no one to cry

We move so fast we can hardly see
Where we want to go
But we float like leaves and an autumn breeze
We ebb and then we flow
Should we stamp our feet and raise our fists
And fight against the tide?
Or we bow our heads and slowly drowned
Because we never tried?

Well never know
Well never try
Were growing old and soon well die.

Well never know
Well never try
Were growing old and soon well die.

Somebody told me,
That you walked
All the way here,
Just to find me,
But now youre here,
Weve got nothing to say.
