One two three four

It's in strange situations

That dreams are laid

Just a look

And they taunt you again

You think how it felt

Then the memory fades

As you enter

The once promised land

He squeezes

Then lets go your hand



Comfort me, comfort me



He sat out of the lamplight

As if to hide

While waiting for who

I'll never know

He smokes like he means it

To fill what he feels

That's empty

And nowhere to go

He sighs as he

Breathes me "hello"



Comfort me



He looks right through me

To another face

A smile in his eyes

From another time and place

To feel what it was

That happened then

But he couldn't take me there



The streets seem familiar

But something's gone

I watch as he slumbers

To go in search

Of the picture

That fills what he feels

I break into the once long ago

He smiles as he

Breathes her "hello"



Comfort me



He looks right through me

To another face

A smile in his eyes

From another time and place

To feel what it was

That happened then

But he couldn't take me there



It's in strange situations

That dreams are laid

Just a thought

And they haunt you again

If you'd known how it felt

Could it be the same

If you'd entered

That once promised land

If it squeezed

Then held on to your hand



Comfort me, comfort me
