Lyrics for Stop, Look and Listen - Edit

I finally gave myself the time to see you I finally gave myself the time to see you I finally gave myself the time to see you for a while If only we could see past the veneer we'd see another side of you Simone said she would think about not seeing me Simone said she would think about not seeing me Simone said she would think about not seeing me for a while I hung around with her for forty days and forty nights, it was a wilderness If only you would stop, look and listen If only you would stop, look and listen If only you would stop, look and listen you'd be fine But being deaf and being blind just seems to be the way you spend your time Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Your words are true and all I do is dream Spent summer in the city of my childhood Spent summer in the city of my childhood Spent summer in the city of my childhood for old times But there's no going back for me, the faces had all changed I was a stranger He made the same mistake 'til he got wiser He made the same mistake 'til he got wiser By then it was too late and he despised her, what a crime If he was cruel to be kind, he would've saved the trouble and the time Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Your words are true and all I do Think of you, your words are true and all I do Think of you, your words are true and all I do is dream I live alone the silence it can make you I live alone the silence it can take you I live alone the silence it can break you after a while Not long ago I made a deal, the ghosts around the house all seem to like me My life is falling down I am surrounded My life is falling down I am confounded My life is falling down I am dumbfounded, what a mess I lay back silent as a cat and let you work your mysteries of healing Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you Your words are true and all I do Think of you, your words are true and all I do Think of you, your words are true and all I do is dream
