One more hopeful cuts her teeth Wakes up early and repeats the words I gotta earn my keep
Another year turns into ten Her bosses shake their heads Your merits dear, they don't mean anything
And now she's standing next to me Another body that's still breathing but Struggles with the need
And it's incredible to me how disconnected we can be I know exactly what it means Like when you're living quietly and the silence makes you scream I know exactly what it means ♪ Years go by, what do you know? There she is at my door Talking about what matters most I point to a bandage on her arm She smiles at me and says "One day my dear, I'll show you my wounds" I knew exactly what she meant I didn't press the topic More important things she had to say
And it's incredible to me how connected we can be I know exactly what it means Like when you're living just to breathe And the beauty makes you weep I know exactly what it means Yeah, it's incredible to me how connected we can be I know exactly what it means Like when you're living just to breathe And the beauty makes you weep I know exactly what it means I never saw her again and so the legend went One day my dear, I'll show you my wounds
