If I had the will to try it I wouldn’t have the time To tell you all the reasons why, boys To tell you all the reasons why I try to keep you off my mind If we’d been some better men We could have drawn that line But what you did’s a kind of crime, boys What you did’s a kind of crime I try to keep you off my mind Keep you off my mind All the dear dead days we spent I saw a thousand signs I closed my eyes and walked on by, boys I closed my eyes and walked on by I tried to keep it off my mind Now four strong winds couldn’t blow me As far away as you drove me So go on, and get lost Go on, get lost Lost If I had the will to try it I wouldn’t have the time To tell you all the reasons why, boys To tell you all the reasons why I try to keep you off my mind

I wasn’t there the day they moved the mountain But I could hear the creaking of its bones From the valley where the ghost of you was sleeping And keeping my shadow from being all alone Oh, my child, a particular sun is setting You’re not a child but I still think of you that way Every single day I was born in another place You can see it on my face But every other trace of it is gone As a cold and clear moon climbs The shadows of the trees align While every other borderline is blurred But you made me a home when I didn’t know the meaning of the word I wasn’t there the day they caught the monster But I could hear it rattling in its cage From the bedroom where the worst of me was waking And shaking off feelings that I was much the same Oh, my child, a peculiar creature’s crawling Hold on when the bed lifts up and off the frame For the devil to be the devil he must be named I was born in another place You can see it on my face But every other trace of it is gone As a clean and clear moon climbs The shadows of the trees align While every other borderline is blurred But you made me a home when I didn’t know the meaning of the word Don’t slip away Don’t let go Don’t turn away No no no Don’t act like you don’t see me You and me, we’ll always know

Are we really at the end Or is the way ahead Just less than certain Will it never be again Or is it waiting around the corner With its arms wide open Will we twist it till it breaks Or will it snap right back And we’ll fall out laughing We’ve seen a story take a turn But is it curtains for us now, And only falling I want to know, I want you to know I want to know you, like I used to know If you’re losing faith in me How can I reassure you? If we’re sinking by ourselves Can we come to our own rescue While we’re completely immersed? Only time will tell But let me know if it tells you first Is the conversation cold Or will a new summer spring From some seed we planted
