Everything is quiet
There in a pool of light
I would have sworn that she had died
I'm telling you
In all that I will say
In every move I'll make
You'll see that I don't fake
Even if I wanted to
She passed it on to me
She passed it on to me
She passed it on to me
Oh
She walked into my life
The ridiculous and sublime
Beneath the lowered sky
She fell in love
And passed it on to me
And passed it on to me
And passed it on to me
Oh
I threw it all away
Like a record that you don't play
And all the hurt I saved
Well time had come and I
I passed it on to her
I passed it on to her
I passed it on to her
Oh
Do you realize
Do you realize
To look into her eyes
And to let her go
To pass it on to him
To pass it on to him
To pass it on to him
Oh
Now everything was quiet
I would have sworn that she had died
And I didn't even try
Now all you want to hear
Is everything you fear
So don't you come too near
And everything you need
Everything you need
And everything you need
You'll get from her
Everything you need
Everything you need
Everything you need man
