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
