Van Der Graaf Generator - Out of My Book lyrics

We sat by ourselves, still looking for company There could have been peace, but that eluded me All I could think of was what was on your mind You tried to be kind But I blocked your feelings Now, senses still reeling, you sit in your quiet room and cry You tried to make me one But I always hide when there's a glimpse of sun Running along in sunlight meadows Your eyes were never more than half-closed Through fluttering lashes, you watched me watching you I tried to be true To the way that you thought I ought to be But in spite of all my efforts I failed I tried to make you see But your eyes are blind to all but the bad in me What do you think I mean When I say that I need you? How am I supposed to seem When we hit another problem And the answers are all torn from my book? Our lives are on paths we just can't control We can grow closer as we grow old Can you imagine us as we adjust? Can you imagine us Getting near eighty We live more sedately, still hoping the dreams will come true? We'll try to be secure But I'm of uncertain mind And how can I be sure? How can I be sure? How can I be sure?
