Empty Mind

I was talking to an empty mind today

No opinion of his own just living life his way.

Think I saw a hermit in the making

No good at giving just good taking.

Mm mm mm good at taking

 

Hears no voice except his own

Talking to himself too long to notice no-ones home

Mm mm mm no-one’s home

Mm mm mm no-one’s home.

 

There’ll always be someone who’s just like that

They’re not nice people and that’s a hard fact.

It’s not about colour. It’s not about creed.

They follow the deceiver just like Adam & Eve

Mm mm mm just like Eve

 

Don’t want to believe ‘cause we’re dying anyway

No point in hoping, lucks not coming his way

Mm mm mm not my way

Mm mm mm not my way.

 

Defeated long before he’s even tried

Hasn’t even noticed that he’s still alive.

Lives for the present doesn’t think about future or past.

Just don’t know how long he’ll last

Mm mm mm will he last

 

Somehow while there’s life there’s hope

Though I won’t hold my breath I’ll throw him a rope

Mm mm mm a long rope

Mm mm mm a long rope

 

Just want him to see that people smile more

When they know there’s always another open door

There’s someone out there that care’s enough to say

Life doesn’t have to be this way.

Mm mm mm not this way

Somehow while there’s life there’s hope

Though I won’t hold my breath I’ll throw him a rope

Mm mm mm give him hope

Mm mm mm give him hope

 

 

I KNOW YOU

 

 

I know you better than you know yourself

You know I do and

You know me better than I know myself

You think you do.

When we’re on another planet

We both share the view

‘Cause I know you better than you know yourself

I think it’s true.

 

Have you ever noticed how

We say the same thing at the same time.

It’s no joke that we’ve become one,

Maybe it keeps us in line.

But it’s fun to see you smile

When you know just what I’m thinking.

I find it disconcerting

But I know my ship’s not sinking.

 

I know you better than you know yourself

You know I do and

You know me better than I know myself

You think you do.

When we’re on another planet

We both share the view

‘Cause I know you better than you know yourself

I think it’s true.

 

Seems that we just found each other

For the purest reason.

Our love has a special link

It’s never out of season.

People sometimes think it’s odd

The way we read each other’s minds.

But it hasn’t happened over night

Clicking perfectly takes time.

 

I know you better than you know yourself

You know I do and

You know me better than I know myself

You think you do

When we’re on another planet

We both share the view

‘Cause I know you better than you know yourself

I think it’s true.

 

Let’s celebrate what we have now

For no other reason than it’s fun.

We’ll never try to complicate things.

We’ll thank the one who gave us love.

I know that I will always wish

In good times and in bad

That there’ll always be good reason

To keep loving each other back.

 

I know you better than you know yourself

You know I do and

You know me better than I know myself

You think you do

When we’re on another planet

We both share the view

‘Cause I know you better than you know yourself

It’s oh so true.
