River Phoenix - Across The Way lyrics

rate me

Hear say hear now, I've heard you've found

There's more across the way

Now the other side can look so nice

Until you've heard this myth won't wash away

I've heard there's more in altered land

No rocks, no tools, no stepping stones

You live across the way I've heard you say

not in words, you show on face

I use my tongue, wear on sleeve

Hat's off, my tie's undone, welcome...

This plan to cross border,

Soldiers divide families

That's reform

Here say here now, I've heard you found

Across the way it's green I'm told

You live across the way I've heard you say

Not in words, you show on face

I use my tongue, wear on sleeve

Hat's off, we can't feel you so no

And you can't talk so now you're dumb

The standoffish way you sit in your office

He's a goldfish

He gets as big as your fishbowl

Food for your own dish

Let's just say it's found in all of us

Instead we say, we they she he

Just call them out by name

Good could be found

Let's sift through sand

Good could be found

A fallen angel has been canned

Should it be bound a calling

What breathes down your neck is lion's breath

Breathe...

You live across the way, I've heard you say

Not in words, you show on face

I use my tongue, wear on sleeve

Hat's off, my ties undone

You live across the way, I've heard you say

Not in words, you show on face

I use my tongue, wear on sleeve

Hat's off, my ties undone

That's all I have to say for now

I'll save the rest for rainy days...
