lyrics

I remember this
Walking through the sodden mist
Early mornings spent on empty streets
Saw a girl whos mascara streamed down her cheeks

And I did nothing
I did nothing
Just sat there watching

And I’ll never know who it was that pained you
I’ll never know who it is that deserves you
Instead I’ll think about what our exchange of looks meant
As I stare down at the cracked pavement

Is there such a thing as a divine connection
Or are we all too ashamed of wanting this affection
Is there an answer to all these questions

Remember when we had someone by our side
Who would kiss us in the dark and whisper goodnight
Who would say that they would never be the same
Who helped us escape the distortion of the mundane

And we all claim to wear our hearts on our sleeves
But we put them away when they start to bleed
As it drips through our jeans
Our we too lazy to dream
Of the divine warmth of another human being

I am here
I am here
I am here
I am here

De l’ame pour l’ame
Ni homme ni femme
We are here

Des etres et des ombres
La vérité en face des mensonges
We are here

And I don’t know the words of God
But I can kiss the ink of anyone who’s ever written of love
And I’ll cry in whichever tongue I speak
For unity and compassion
Don’t you know

No man is an Island
No man is an Island
No man is an Island
No man is an Island
