Stop, Look And Listen

[Verse 1] I finally gave myself the time to see you I finally gave myself the time to see you I finally gave myself the time to see you for a while If only we could see past the veneer, we'd see another side of you [Verse 2] Simone said she would think about not seeing me Simone said she would think about not seeing me Simone said she would think about not seeing me for a while I hung around with her for forty days and forty nights, it was a wilderness [Verse 3] If only you would stop, look, and listen If only you would stop, look, and listen If only you would stop, look, and listen you'd be fine But being deaf and being blind just seems to be the way you spend your time [Chorus] Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Your words are true and all I do is dream [Verse 4] Spent summer in the city of my childhood Spent summer in the city of my childhood Spent summer in the city of my childhood for old times But there's no going back for me, the faces had all changed, I was a stranger [Verse 5] He made the same mistake until he got wiser He made the same mistake until he got wiser By then it was too late and he despised her, what a crime If he was cruel to be kind, he would've saved the trouble and the time [Chorus] Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Your words are true and all I do is dream If only we could see past the veneer, we'd see another side of you [Verse 6] I live alone the silence, it can take you I live alone the silence, it can make you I live alone the silence, it can break you after a while Not long ago I made a deal, the ghosts around the house all seem to like me [Verse 7] My life is falling down, I am surrounded My life is falling down, I am confounded My life is falling down, I am dumbfounded, what a mess I lay back silent as a cat and let you work your mysteries of healing [Chorus] Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Your words are true and all I do Is think of you, your words are true and all I do Is think of you, your words are true and all I do is dream If only we could see past the veneer, we'd see another side of you
