Three for Silver - Proof lyrics

[Verse 1] Let us go then, you and I With the evening spread out against the sky The world seems small when we're alone Let the moon and stars be our home [Chorus] Do I dare? Do I dare? Could I turn and descend that stair? I want proof! I want proof! Somehow I will live through my dying youth I want proof [Verse 2] In the room, women come and go Talking of Michalangelo But when I speak I am not heard I am the tree speaking to the birds Would it have been worth it after all To have squeezed the universe into a ball Could I come back and tell you all That is not what I meant at all [Chorus] I grow old! I grow old! But on the beach I'll wear my trousers rolled I want proof! I want proof! Somehow I will live through my dying youth I want proof! [Verse 3] I should have been born a ragged claw Tearing at the seams of nature's law But I'm just a jockey, and poorly used Atop my body, neglected and confused [Chorus] We are bound! We are bound! To sleep 'til we are woken But then we drown I want proof! I want proof! Somehow I will live through my dying youth I want proof
