| I know where you’re going |
| And I see where you’ve been |
| Patience is a virtue |
| And mine with you is wearing thin |
| It’s easy to sit and wait |
| Speak with words you’ve stolen |
| From better men than you |
| Doors they helped you open |
| In time will cease to let you through |
| Is it easy to stand and sigh? |
| Bid another friend goodbye |
| Oh-oh-oh |
| Oh-oh-oh |
| Oh-oh-oh |
| Oh-oh-oh |
| Lights can shine too bright, dear |
| So nobody can see |
| Hide safe behind your light, dear |
| But understand it won’t blind me |
| And I know it would do no good |
| But I’d hurt you if I could |
| Oh-oh-oh |
| See my eyes |
| Oh-oh-oh |
| Open wide |
| Oh-oh-oh |
| Speak up now |
| Oh-oh-oh |
| Or hold your peace forever and be done |
| Eyes down, door closed |
| Keep quiet, growing old |
| I know you, I see you |
| Cling to, the road you ride on |
| Homeless, more or less |
| Skin and bone, on your own |
| I’ll be alright, I’m doing fine |
| Keep my tongue behind my |
| Teeth and, get gone |
| You never were anyone |
| Keep your words, keep your mind |
| I’ll keep my tongue behind my teeth |
| Tongue behind my teeth |
| And I know it would do no good |
| But I’d hurt you if I could |
| Oh-oh-oh |
