Words and music by Daisy O’Connor
They say the cracked ones let the light in
Once the darkness all spills out
But you couldn’t drain the devil
Can i purge it with this song?
I don’t whisper among the dead
I sing loud so they can hear
About the little pieces of everything
And how we can make them breathe again
They say it gets better
We grow into being weird
Or do we just get used to
not fitting in anywhere
Looking around for someone to care
But I’ve got you.
We see right through
I’ve got you
There’s me and you.
You were a raging high rocker
Who turned a folk singers line
Loved an unshockable woman
Tried to turn the world with rhyme
So we gave peace a chance
And we do it every day
Is anybody listening
To the words I rarely say
But I’ve got you.
We see right through
I’ve got you
There’s me and you.
Momma’s going blind
But she stopped seeing long ago
Didin’t want to see what’s going on with us
All the colors that we show
Let’s make it retroactive
Til there’s only you and me
kissing on the corner silently
But I’ve got you.
We see right through
I’ve got you
There’s me and you.
