You flew into my city To see another friend of yours, But we both know that it will be My open floor, you're sleeping on We pretend not to know each other In these new lives we have forged And i pretend that i don't mind, We're only catching up on time, because It's convenient Well, you know, when you go I will be counting lines on the road 'til i remember, life moves slow But we're always moving along And we don't know why Sometimes we get it wrong But we find our answers in The new day's sun In every line on the road In every line yet to come The one i'm thinking of He's got eyes as wide as diamonds (tries to hide 'em) And he's running wild tonight Out across east river's skyline Yeah he's filling up his hands With the trappings of the flesh Oh just to try, And ease his mind Well, you know, when you go I will be counting the lines on the road 'til i remember, life moves slow But we're always moving along And we don't know why Sometimes we get it wrong But we find our answers in, The new day's sun In every line on the road In every line yet to come Long before the new days begins, They're baking tomorrow's daily bread For all the starving bodies who do not know that they Are hungry yet I could smell it oh so strong Thought that i felt it on my tongue But i could not taste it yet It's funny how sometimes Senses we normally rely on Can deceive us just like that Well, you know, when you go I will be counting the lines on the road 'til i remember, love moves slow But we're always moving along And we don't know why Sometimes we get it wrong We find our answers in The new day's sun In every line on the road In every line yet to come
