Everything You've Got

Somebody called me last week Said they'd seen you You were back in town And so I went downtown, I walked and walked and looked and looked And didn't see you anywhere But this is a big city With lots of places to hide, And I want you to know that I still care And you can still come home... I think we grew up in a fairytale Skies were the limit, well how could we fail You'd go to college I would sing my songs You'd call me up collect and say "Hey, how you gettin' on" How much you missed me And you promised me it wouldn't take long I remember the day when it all turned round You came to stay and you where different somehow You had a secret, it was in your eyes I couldn't reach you, baby No matter how I tried I watched you slip away without a sound And the street was always there It was just waiting It's so much stronger than we thought And the wollf don't lie with the lamb Unless he wants something He wants everything you've got And it's real hard for me To think of you that way As a junkie - down there with all the other junkies. I remember walking down the streets Staring straight ahead So we wouldn't see the people Sleeping on the streets But now it seems I'm looking down there all the time Looking for you... I should have seen just what was happening here The way you looked it should have been so clear I always thought you were the strong one I always thought I was the fragil one When you were calling my name I could not hear And the street was always there It was just waiting It's so much stronger than we thought And the wolf don't lie with the lamb Unless he wants something He wants everything you've got And you hear stories about people Coming back - cleaning up - So maybe it does happen. And until they call me down to identify you Some time - some night I guess I'll just believe That you might be around the next corner Waiting for me. And I'll keep looking...
