Gretchen - Compassion lyrics

rate me

(verse)

When he walks into the room

I have to wonder

what's behind those eyes of blue:

A skeleton or two?

When she walks into the door

I have to wonder what's in store

Her smile is painted thin

Now it's running down her chin

(chorus)

We go on in life ignoring

The pain before our eyes

The consequence is worth exploring

The wading of the tide

It's up to us to try--today

(verse 2)

People passing, their lives unfold

Stumbling under, heavy loads

Another grain of sand

Falling through your hand

When he walks into the room

I have to wonder

What's behind those eyes of blue:

A skeleton or two?

(chorus)

(outro tag)

Watching, Waiting, Contemplating

Should I do something

Or just let it go?

We go on in life
