ADRIAN BELEW - ONE TIME lyrics

One eye goes laughing

one eye goes crying

through the trials and trying of one life

one hand is tied

one step gets behind

in one breath we're dying

I've been waiting for the sun to come up

waiting for the showers to stop

waiting for the penny to drop...one time

and I've been standing in a cloud of plans

standing on the shifting sands

hoping for an open hand

one time
