You Are

From the moment your eyes met mine,
I`ve been cheating the jaws of time,
facing up what you dished out to me,
with a whole lot of laughing.
From the second the parrot is free
there`s no question of where he should be,
burning bridges of home, he`s still here
whith a whole lot of nothing.

Oh as I`m dreaming I hear myself say
Why, why did you love me, come on and show me the way, you are.

A shining new star you come highly recommended,
(you are, you are)
we sailed the oceans on the tide, allthough our captain died,
with nothing left to hide, you are

Always busy, listening to you
always seemed like the thing to do
told myself what I pushed myself
for was your satisfaction.
While I`m working to pay my bills
and push the limit to get my thrills
truth is actually standing quite still,
not a whole lot of action.

Oh, now I`m dreaming I hear myself say
Why, why did you love me, come on and show me the way, you are.

A shining new star you come highly recommended,
(you are, you are)
a god forsaken sight in the middle of november,
(you are, you are)
the spirit of today like the children you defended,
(you are, you are)
we sailed the oceans on the tide, allthough our captain died,
with nothing left to hide, you are
