I can hear you calling
You wanted me to confide
You wanted me to be someone who
Was always on your side
What did you want it to be?
Was it you or was it me?
And your heart was as big as ridge in the sea
Ever changing but it couldn't change me
There is a fog over your honesty
And you wear it like a smile
You've convinced yourself of happiness
Like some lonesome little child
Still not convinced that money is my friend
And this laborin' won't do me in
I've worked hard all my life
And I'd do it again
Always waiting for my ship to come in
What did you want it to be?
Was it you or was it me?
And I can hear sorrow screaming
With every breath you breathe
But I can't help that and you can't help me
You asked me what is a life
Without someone to lay beside
What covers helplessness
And what does it mean to fly
What is a life to claim
Was it you or me to blame
And that's alright honey
We just never saw things the same
But don't call me out
You won't ever know my name
Don't call me out
You will never know my name
