We find ourselves on different sides
Of a line nobody drew
Though it all may be one in the higher eye
Down here where we live it is twoI to my side call the meek and the mild
You to your side call the Words
By virtue of suffering I claim to have won
You claim to have never been heardBoth of us say there are laws to obey
Yeah, but frankly I don't like your tone
You want to change the way I make love
(But) I want to leave it aloneThe pull of the moon, the thrust of the sun
Thus the ocean is crossed
The waters are blessed while a shadowy guest
Kindles a light for the lostBoth of us say there are laws to obey
But frankly I don't like your tone
You want to change the way I make love
(But) I want to leave it aloneDown in the valley the famine goes on
The famine up on the hill
I say that you shouldn't, you couldn't, you can't
You say that you must and you willYou want to live where the suffering is
I want to get out of town
Come on, baby, give me a kiss
Stop writing everything downBoth of us say there are laws to obey
Yeah, but frankly I don't like your tone
You want to change the way I make love
(But) I want to leave it aloneBoth of us say there are laws to obey
Yeah, but frankly I don't like your tone
You want to change the way I make love
(But) I want to leave it alone
