0:13Whatever could have made you
0:18So sure of yourself
0:23Whispers in a ruined house
0:28The leaves that sing with no sound
0:33There's no flowers growing
0:38In the place where we are right
0:44The kids and their questions
0:49It'll keep you up all night
0:54Who am I away from the fire
0:59With no flames on my face?
1:04He comes and sits beside me
1:09And asks me "What is this place?"
1:25I get higher and higher
1:30The lower I go
1:35This upside world
1:40With a knife at its throat
1:45We're all tumblers and beggars
1:50Your mother and I will show you
1:56Gangsters and angels
2:01Darling come and see
2:06The cross or the machine
2:11It's always the same choice
2:16The best I ever met
2:22Had nothing and gave it all away
2:26We'd rather be ruined than change
2:32And die in our dread
2:37But love your crooked neighbour
2:42With your crooked heart
3:28Reach across again
3:32Here's where heaven starts
3:34I end where you begin
3:37With my hand over your heart
3:41Reach across again
3:44Here's where heaven starts
3:47I'm with you till the end
3:50With my hand over your heart
3:54Reach across again
3:57Here's where heaven starts
4:00I end where you begin
4:03With my hand over your heart
4:07Reach across again
4:10Here's where heaven starts
4:13I end where you begin
4:16With my hand over your heart
4:20Reach across again
4:23Here's where heaven starts
4:26I end where you begin
4:28With my hand over your heart
4:45Reach across again
4:49Here's where heaven starts
4:51I end where you begin
4:54With my hand over your heart
4:58Reach across again
5:01Here's where heaven starts
5:04I end where you begin
5:07With my hand over your heart
Whatever could have made you So sure of yourself Whispers in a ruined house The leaves that sing with no sound There's no flowers growing In the place where we are right The kids and their questions It'll keep you up all night Who am I away from the fire With no flames on my face? He comes and sits beside me And asks me "What is this place?" I get higher and higher The lower I go This upside world With a knife at its throat We're all tumblers and beggars Your mother and I will show you Gangsters and angels Darling come and see The cross or the machine It's always the same choice The best I ever met Had nothing and gave it all away We'd rather be ruined than change And die in our dread But love your crooked neighbour With your crooked heart Reach across again Here's where heaven starts I end where you begin With my hand over your heart Reach across again Here's where heaven starts I'm with you till the end With my hand over your heart Reach across again Here's where heaven starts I end where you begin With my hand over your heart Reach across again Here's where heaven starts I end where you begin With my hand over your heart Reach across again Here's where heaven starts I end where you begin With my hand over your heart Reach across again Here's where heaven starts I end where you begin With my hand over your heart Reach across again Here's where heaven starts I end where you begin With my hand over your heart
