    Waving My Arms In The Air / I Never Lied To You

    Waving my arms in the air
    love, my love, got no care
    no care, no, no, pressing my feet to the ground
    stand up right where you stand
    call to you and what do you do
    laying back in a chair?
    she's so high on the air
    she's so high on the air
    half and half, half and half
    all you have to do to call
    is hold her her hand, stand a while
    and then smile and we'll understand
    yes we do - yes, yes we do!
    Oh waht a girl I've got too!
    Oh waht a girl I've got too!
    with her slinky look she held her tie to her hair
    (and I) could see everywhere
    no-one in the land, no-one
    no-one in the land, no-one
    but it rains on saturday - cats and dogs in the way
    stormy day, hey, hey
    and you shouldn't try to be
    what you can't be
    and you shouldn't try to be
    what you can't be
    call to you and what do you do

    There will be shoulders pressing in the hall
    and I won't know if you're here at all
    there will be wine and drinking in the yard
    there won't be anybody very hard
    there will be lots of things that we can do
    and all and more will be for you
    everything I knew I tried with you
    but everything to you was never easy
    so I went ahead around my world
    I saw the things you do arriving by your side
    to see you looking too
    but I know this. I know, I never lied to you
    it's been just like you're gone
    for just one day for so long!
    It's been so hard to bear with you not there
    but thought I think of you, the things you do
    when I'm with you, to be with you,
    to be alone...can only think:
    "Why I am here? What's meant to be?"
