In another town
Will the blurry faces ask you if you’re feeling down?
As you move towards the city square without a sound
As you try to find your grand designs you look around
Oh but all your schemes, my friend, it seems they’ve disappeared
And so you’re waiting here
Wondering about the others
And in the theater shows
How lonely do you feel among the numbered rows?
All these shifting floors and hidden doors they call below
Do they hold the rooms you knew so many years ago?
When it seemed the world you loved had been replaced
Find it anyplace
Find it anyplace
When you finally reach out from the back
I’ll sew up all your wholes and halves
And I’ll follow all your charts and graphs
In my soul, yes, I want you to laugh
Did it change again?
Did your shapes within the shifting rearrange again?
Well you dry your tears and hide your fears but now and then
You just give in and hold your knees against your head
And all the light upon you seems to pass right through
But if you only knew
That you could hear your favorite colors
And through another door
Through the ivy covered mazes past the corner stores
Well I know you don’t believe that you’ve been here before
Surrounded by uncharted lives you seem so sure
That all the things you loved have been replaced
Find it anyplace
And have you seen the river?
I can take you there tonight
If you'd like to smile
Would you like to smile?
Follow down the lighted street
And slip between the gates
It's just another mile
And all the while you wait for your embrace
Waiting for your place
While we wait for memories to come back
I'll sew up all your wholes and halves
And I'll follow to the moon and back
In my soul, yes, I want you to laugh
