Surfin' through the pages in my mind, I find a picture of you,
You were young and I was too, "I do," you said, and I believed you.

Singin' songs and dancin' in the street, the beat I don't remember
A barking dog, a velvet chain, the rain was cold, you were colder.

Chorus:
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew what you're about
I doubt if I ever knew you

We took the ferry late at night, first light discovered us together
We agreed that paradise was nice, but couldn’t last forever.

Bright eyed and bushy tailed, I failed to see what everyone saw
Moss growing on the roof the truth was getting hard to swallow.

Chorus:

For every left there is a right, for every day there is a night
A moon, a sun, a smoking gun, a tear, an eye, hello, goodbye
For every hand there is a glove, every hate there is a love
Heaven, earth, a death, a birth, a hat, a head and a hunger...
a hunger never fed!

You dropped the TV in the pool that’s cool, I know, but no one saw you
Hotel rooms and limousines, it seems to me you got your heaven.

Chorus:

Tomorrow never comes, they say, but hey you know I don’t believe them
I close my eyes and drift away today has gone, I'm still standin'
I'm still standin'
I'm still standin', Oh!
