When you're weary and worn out
And no arms can seem to hold you
When you're heavy and strung out
And tired with no place to go to
And the times feel for certain
That nobody's hurtin' like you do
Bring your heartache and smile
And we'll walk as many miles as we have to
When the people you've known
Wave like armfuls of smoke through the air
And the rain on your shoulders
Doesn't pass like the wind through your hair
And your eyes begin to fool you
And fail you from the face that you wear
Don't trust any mirrors you will need something clearer
To find what you're looking for there
If the streets don't respect you
Yet constantly rap at your door
Well you know what neglect means
Now you know what deceit can afford
But to stand there like that with your heart in your hands
Dealing for more
The streets will break in again and again
And take only what you're living for
Since your body betrayed you
You've been so afraid of the cold
But what storm has pursued you
That makes you do everything that you're told
It must be the ice that drains
Down from your eyes through your clothes
That first taught you your voice
But now haunts you with it from the side of the road
To look at your face is to lose myself in those eyes
How softly they open and swiftly they close from the light
Like the curtains in your room bending shadows over you tonight
As you snake through your skin from the shape you've been in
That you still somehow seem to fit inside
Like the shadows on your face
Can't help falling into place line by line
As the strangers that pass
Leave their fingerprints on the glass
Just so they can say they at least tried
Well if the whole world looks vain
Through this tainted window frame
You're probably right
