Lyrics The Way We Lived - Wax Tailor, Sharon Jones

The Way We Lived

Now, wait a minute
Do you realize what you’re saying
Oh, I know what I’m saying
I’m lying here the bed’s white
Someone turns off the light
There in the dark I start to cry
It all comes back to me
The way we lived our lives
And all the things we never feared
We were not like all of them
We didn’t work we didn’t worry
All we had was money, money
All we ever had was fame and fun
When I look at me then
When I look at me now
I can understand the fall
But I’ll never know how
There in the dark I cry
It all comes back to me now
Whether it was by substance
Whether it was by car or
If I fell in the distance
Or if I thought a war
I cannot remember
If I was shot in the back
Or If I drowned in my bath
Now in this bed all day
Now in this bed all night
I still have my moment
When they bring me out
It is all that’s left now
Of this fearless mind
A blink of my eye and
Some times she smiles
This white angel over me
This angel touching me sometimes
The way we lived our lives
And all the things we never feared
There in the dark I cry
It all comes back
