Hanging onto the laughter that each of us hid our unhappiness in
Almost anyone with the possible exception
She wasn't much good a saying goodbye
But she'd slip through your arms like the wind
She could of turned out to be almost anyone
And thinking in terms of the blame
She wasn't much good at stickin' around
She gave me back something that was missing in me
On some places that you've never been
And believe there was something to win
Running into the midnight with her clothes whipping in the wind
Where you might never see her again
Of who I wanted her to be
The shorter my vision became
But that girl could sing, she could sing
Stumblin' into the lights of the city and then back in the shadows again
Talk about celestial bodies
The longer I thought I could find her
Running in circles behind her
And be back in flight back into the night
If she'd come back and tried to explain
And your angels on the wing
Reaching into the heart of the darkness for the tenderness within
But she couldn't have been any kinder
In that kind of light you could lose your sight
You could hold her tight with all your might
In the dead of night she could shine a light
