Between the victim and his stain
And you climb the halls of fame
Between the tunnel and the train
Once again, once again
Then you climb, you climb into the frame
Yes and here, right here
Between the sundial and the chain
Between the moonlight and the lane
Wondering out loud as the bandage pulls away
Between the birthmark and the stain
I journey down the hundred steps
Shouldering your loneliness
Where are the paths your heroes came?
Once again, once again
Between the sailboat and the drain
Love calls you by your name
Love calls you by your name
Where are you Judy? Where are you Anne?
Between the peanuts and the cage
Between the darkness and the stage
Whom you still praise and blame
Once again, once again
Between the dancer and his cane
Between the newsreel and your tiny pain
Love calls you by your name
Oh here, come over here
You say they chained you to your fingernails
But here, right here
Once again, once again
Between the windmill and the grain
The women in your scrapbook
Oh but here, right here
Between the traitor and her pain
And here, right here
Your body lost in legend, the beast so very tame
Was I, was I only limping, was I really lame?
Like a gun that you will not learn to aim
You stumble into this movie house
Love calls you by your name
But the street is still the very same
Once again, once again
Between the ocean and your open vein
Between the snowman and the rain
I leave the lady meditating
On the very love which I, I do not wish to claim
Between the hour and the age
