Well it felt a New Year long, before you walked in to the door Before the elevator rose, on the 97th floor Well you never knew your dad, and your family’s always been a chore You said religion gave you lots, but Laurel Canyon gave you more You had tears in your eyes, we were waiting in the dark You had tears in your eyes, ohhhh the arrow on the mark And now your runnin’ down the hall, pushing cameras to the side And how its spoken with the sounds, that are coming from your eyes Well, we have methods , we have ways And we have aching broken sores, but you said I’m like a wave And you’re the rocky shore It took a year to decide, we were banging on the door It took a year to decide, ohhh that you were mean’t for something more (Quietly) Well, it started with a noise, that made us both close our eyes And as the elevator fell, I coulda sworn I saw you smile But you had tears in your eyes, we were weightless in the dark You had tears in your eyes, ohhh the arrow on the mark You had tears in your eyes You had tears in your eyes You had tears in your eyes But I’m glad I got to know you, right before we die
