Safe in the night
when people look but can not see
pale in the light
that shines above onto the street
I watch you walkin' on the other side
and i turn my head away in shame
wishin' they'd talk in the worthless--
Quaint and reserved
the house that knows you in detail
slender and curved
you come down stairs to get your mail
I watch you walkin' on the other side
and i feel my thinking rearrange
as slowly every thought will change
Summer has gone
october fled without a word
winter is on
my conscience has remained uncured
I watch you walkin' on the other side
and i rush my fingers through my hair
telling myself that it is not fair
I watch you walkin' on the other side
and i rush my fingers through my hair
telling myself that it is not fair
