Our sunset secret's everywhere In her eyes And every strand of her hair Seductive as sin But we can't begin again No no She hides her fears in her lover's head Lives out her fears in her lover's bed All the while, in her own style She's in love with a shadow She just wants to feel god's breath Moving through her years Moving her to tears Sometimes being used Is better than being nothing at all Like it was 1981 And I was driving you home We could be in love At least we could pretend Yeah I'm awake But just barely You're laying next to me And you look me squarely in the eyes But to my surprise You see nothing What's there to see? A walking shade, mostly a ghost If there ever were a time When I needed you the most This would be it Sometimes being used Is better than being nothing at all I will wait for you to find yourself And then I'll wait some more Like it was 1981 And I was driving you home Yeah we could be in love
