Hi Mario,
Here's what I hear...
And the reason we laugh is for one day we'll cry
Like the reason we live is for one day we'll die
And the reason we give is for one day we'll steal
Here's a song for a world that can't feel
She was once a good friend of mine
We would gather up stones and we'd laugh all the time
She'd paint pictures and maps of the stars in her eyes
Fill up the night
She was once a lover of mine
We would sit in the garden and drink all the wine
Blow out candles and talk about God and the Dark
Then we'd sleep in the yard
And the reason we laugh is for one day we'll cry
Like the reason we live is for one day we'll die
And the reason we give is for one day we'll steal
Here's a song for a world that can't feel
Winter came and it carried no torch
It just fogged up the windows and stood on the porch
The flower she planted is hiding it's face
As it bends and dies in the wind
And the lantern lit up our room
As we drew all the tarots and cast all the runes
Then she'd take down her hair and she'd lay in my arms
'Cause that's where she belonged
And the reason we laugh is for one day we'll cry
Like the reason we live is for one day we'll die
And the reason we give is for one day we'll steal
Here's a song for a world that can't feel
She was once a lover of mine
'Till she packed up her clothing, her books and her wine
Wrote me a note that said "Ahhh, honey don't cry...
But I can't say goodbye"
And the sun went down early that day
As the stars came out twinkling at children at play
And tears fill my eyes when I think of the words she can't say
Why did she go away?
And the reason we laugh is for one day we'll cry
Like the reason we live is for one day we'll die
And the reason we give is for one day we'll steal
Here's a song for a world that can't feel
Here's a song for a world that can't feel
