I'm a stranger here and no one sees me
Now I just pass mournfully
Now nothin' does remind me
Nothin' 'round here to me that matters
Nothin' anymore seems to please me
You're the one that I admire
Everybody's got somethin' to sell
By that place where the bones of life are piled
Nothin' 'round here I care to try for
'Cept you, yeah you
I know somethin' has changed
So peaceful, so sublime
'Cept you, yeah you
Everything runs by me
I'm in love with you
'Cept you, yeah you
As a kid I'd hear it
Your love hypnotizes me
'Cept you, yeah you
Got nothin' here to live or die for
Dance and run and sing when I was a child
And it never seemed strange
And holds me in its spell
Used to run in the cemetery
Nothin' matters to me
And there's nothin' I desire
'Cept you, yeah you
Everybody want my attention
Yes, in church all the time
You're the one that reaches me
'Cept you, yeah you
Make me feel so good inside
'Cept you, yeah you
Of that old familiar chime
'Cept you, yeah you
I feel like I'm on fire
Just like water from a well
Every time we meet together
