Standing outside

Looking inside

Through the wall

I stumbled sagely

I predicted my own fall

She pretends

That she can't hear me

When I call

I'm feeling low and...



An hour later

Or maybe it's been three

I break a door down

With a neighbors Christmas tree

I find her in a corner

Choking on her hopes

And misery

She's fading fast



'cos she can't find

Her own way

Heaven knows the way

Heaven knows the way



My alibi says

It was just a social call

I stumbled sagely

I predicted my own fall

The politics of failure

Never seemed to

Bother her at all

She never made a sound



'cos she can't find

Her own way

Heaven knows the way

Heaven knows the way



Standing outside

Looking inside

Through the wall

I stumbled sagely

I predicted my own fall

She pretends

That she can't hear me

When I call

I'm feeling low and...



She can't find her own way

Heaven knows the way

Heaven knows the way
