Into a dream, i took a turn, an' promised t' return Th' way we were, th' way we met, th' way i lit yr cigarette Th' way it trailed, into a stream, an' lay down between... You had t' choose, a side t' love, an' divide yerself in two Th' way you were, long before, you were a walkin' civil war But you forget, where th' road goes, an' tonite it shows... Into yr soul, i tried t' climb, but found th' hole t' high For me t' leave, th' way i'd learned, an' found i couldn't turn Th' way th' trees, an' fallin' rain, remind me in a way... Th' way you were, th' day we met, th' way i lit your cigarette Th' way it changed, into a strange, cole porter phrase But you forget, how th' song goes, an' tonite it shows...
