In the dark the lanterns hum
The mothers lay their babies down
And lovers with their bleeding hearts
Who talk like silk and touch like darts
In brazen secret paradise
A carousel of fire and ice
You and I have been thru that
And can't imagine more of it
The cloud is gone and took the silver lining along
Ah, me, I can see
Ah, me, I can see
Ah, me, I can see
The tenements still take the heat
Of suicidal uptown streets
And all the heads of all the packs
Are dark and handsome heart attacks
In battle for a reasoning
A boat to rock a bell to ring
And you and I are doctors now
We mend the break of day somehow
We send the silver lining to the cloud
Ah, me, I can see
Ah, me, I can see
Ah, me, I can see
You and I are carpenters
We build the bridge that we deserve
We hammer out the meaning from the words
You and I are shoulder deep
We're calico and incomplete
Ah, me, I can see
Ah, me, I can see
Ah, me, I can see
Ah, me, I can see
Ah, me, I can see
Ah, me, I can see
Ah, me, I can see
Ah, me, I can see
