When we meet on neutral ground,
I can't belive how good you look.
And the thoughts that race around my mind,
Fill a long unreadable book and
I can feel the waves,
I can sense the continents eroding,
You say you know why I called you here,
But you couldn't have any way of knowing, so
That's not true.
That's a mean thing to say.
That's a damnable lie.
That's a damnable lie.
Looking at you, and I don't know
What it is I see
And I know you're changing, almost indetectably.
And I see a ship off the shore
And I imagine it sinking.
And you smile and you say that you know
What it is that I'm thinking.
That's not true.
That's a rotten thing to say.
That's a damnable lie.
That's a damnable lie.
