Album: 23rd Street Lullaby
So all that loneliness for a moment is through
and now it's going to take time
to find some faith for you
you've got a history of crash landings
coming down on nothing but a prayer
and finding no one there to break the fall
so you got all twisted up inside
got a new hairdo and a big disguise
till no one could recognize you at all
Well that's all right
that's o.k.
I'm going to love you
any which way
that's o.k. ... that's all right
we'll be each other's medicine tonight
Well the path of resistance for a moment
now has cleared
and you want to open up but you're
locked down shut with fear
because you know the lonely corner
where the blind man begs for change
you've carried that cup and cane before
and you never get what you think you deserve
so you settle for token kindness
and sympathetic words
anything to ease the pain
Well that's all right
that's o.k.
I'm going to have you any which way
that's o.k. ... that's all right
we'll be each other's medicine tonight
Well all the stopped clocks are ticking
it's time I do believe
when you've got nothing left to give
and you're too paralysed to receive
when you're unfamiliar to yourself
and a stranger to everybody else
when you're too lost and too gone to see
Well that's all right
that's o.k.
I'll recognize you any which way
that's o.k. ... that's all right
we'll be each other's medicine tonight
