John Wesley Harding - Same Piece Of Air lyrics

Yesterday we were the best of friends

Today we can't get back again

Time has crept in crevices

And patterns down the wall

We could paint over the papered cracks

Tomorrow they would all crack back

Who are we to try to stop the fall?

There's no reason to worry

There's no reason to care

There's no reason to wonder

It's not going anywhere

And we used to love to share the same piece of air

We behave like real human beings

Who eat, then wash the dishes clean

But I have held you in my arms

And tried to read your mind

And maybe baby if we both relax

The axe that grinds behind our backs

Will wear itself to nothing over time

There's no reason to worry

There's no reason to care

There's no reason to wonder

We're not going anywhere

And we used to love to share the same piece of air

We used to breathe in and out together

Every one second lasted forever

There's no reason to worry

There's no reason to care

There's no reason to wonder

We're not going anywhere

And we used to love to share the same piece of air
