He's not falling, simply waiting
Fading at the edges
Sitting back, thinking that there's little point in moving
He smiles, says his stars are friendly
Anything can be done
Shall we get very drunk
He says I stay alive It's the best thing
The only thing I know
She's not talking, easy dreaming
All that life away
She gets laughing, missed the light
No regrets today
She looks up, another sunset
Was it very very good
Shall we get really high
She says, I stay alive It's the best thing
The only thing I know
She says, Hold me, hold me hard
Hold me, hold me harder
Stop me thinking about myself
Stop me hoping for more than I am
She says, Why do I want more than good looks
Why do I want more than great books
Is that all there is
She smiles and stays alive
It's the best thing, the only thing she knows
They're together,
Simply dancing all the nights away
There's the window
Let's wait up for this precious dawn
He smiles, tells her she looks lovely
Anything can be done
She looks up and laughs
He says I stay alive
It's the best thing, the only thing I can give you
I was brought up with higher expectations
I was brought up that hell's a hippies way to go
He says Hold me
