For Everyone

I was pounding the streets for a friend who could find

Some hope out of hope torn apart

I would point to my chest, say

Here it is, it looks real tough

Won't be broken again, but still it's my heart

With full-listening ears and best intention

They so want to know and with no comprehension

This town, such a weary place

Love-lorn, sleepy falling race saying

Oh not that song again

Oh no they played our song again, well

Something should be for everyone.

So out of the sun drops this man, holds my hands

Has me over for tea and wears flowers in his hair

A friend for my heart, not like friends who say

Do alone, be alone, do it, do it, do it again

I won't take him there

He asked for my days without demanding

He gave me his laughter and his understanding

To those who loved and loved again

Who planted flowers and trampled them, saying

Oh not that song again

Oh God they played our song again, well

His song belongs to everyone.

I could spend all my days with that man, see what grows

And all of his smiles, as if that's what it's all about

But I guess it's hard to keep such joy in your dreams

Or maybe it was just me. Anyway, his smiles just ran out

He frowns and he says it's not my business

He stares at his hands with no forgiveness

He wonders what can mirrors say

He looks and then he walks away, saying

Oh not myself again

Oh, no, not that song again, well

This world was made for everyone

You gave me that.
