In the dark, the lantern's hung
The mothers lay their babies down
Lovers with their bleeding hearts
Who talk like silk and touch like dartsI brazen secret parent days
A carousel of fire and ice
And you and I have been through that
And can't imagine more of itThe cloud is gone and took the silver lining alone
Ah, me, I can see
Ah, me, I can see
Ah, me, I can seeThe tenements still take the heat
Of suicidal uptown streets
And all the heads of all the packs
Are dark and handsome heart attacks
In battle for a reasoning
A boat to rock, a bell to ring
And you and I are doctors now
We mend the break of day somehow
We send the silver lining to the clouds
You and I are carpenters
We build the bridge that we deserve
We hammer out the meaning from the words
You and I are shoulder-deep where cattle call
