Best Of Bread

I'm driftin' down the street
Asking of all i meet
Don't you know me from somewhere
Hazel eyes and curly hair
Have you seen me anywhere
Look at me
I'm blending into the wall
And i wonder if i'm really here at all

Time goes by
So do i
But no one blinks an eye
Mirrors aren't reflecting me
Laws aren't protecting
And no one's expecting me
On the edge
I feel like i'm going to fall
And i wonder if i'll never land at well

Loneliness comes and stays
Torturing nights and days
People stare but cannot speak
Hearts are strong
But tongues are weak
Maybe all our minds are meek
Look at me
I'm fading into the floor
And wonder if i'm living anymore.

Hey, didn't you believe me when i told you i was leavin'?
Well, wait a little while and soon you will be believin'
I'm tellin' you now like i told you before
That love has got to be somethin' more
Than a pasttime, this is the last time

This is the last time that i will say goodbye
You say it doesn't mean a thing
Let's see what the future brings
In the past, i've changed my mind, but
This has got to be the last time

Well, didn't you believe it when i said you don't know how to love me?
You, you never understood that you weren't so high above me
I didn't realize 'til a moment ago
That time doesn't really go this slow
And it's past time, this is the last time

Chorus

Whatcha gonna do when nights are gettin' colder, baby?
Where ya gonna go, you know you're gettin' older, baby?
Guess you're gonna have to be a little bolder, baby
Whatcha gonna do to satisfy your hunger, baby?
Oh, don't it seem that everyone's a-gettin' younger, baby?
Guess you're gonna have to find yourself another past time
Judgin' from the past, i know it won't be the last time

Chorus

I look into my morning mirror
And it reveals some things to me that i had not been able to see
I saw someone that i'm not sure i want to be
An empty lonely face was starin' back at me

All and all, i would have to say
It's been a rather dismal day

The afternoon was slow in coming
I drug myself outside the people that i knew would be there
And though they walked along pretending not to care
I knew behind my back they'd point and laugh and stare

Chorus

And now the evening shadow's falling
I guess it's best i lay my hopes to rest for noone's calling my name
I sit and wait behind a door that's never knocked on
I live in silence like my phone that's never talked on

Chorus

Move over
Move over
Let the man in
Move over
Look out you'll let the man of sin in
He may tell you what be think of you
Not by his words but by the things be 'll do
Move over
Move over
Let be man come in
Move over
Move over
Let his love come into your heart
You may think you're 'bout to be abused
Yeah, but then again you just might be amused
Move over
Move over baby
You're too far over
Move over baby
You may think that he's a friend in need
But i've heard it said that he's a friend indeed
Move over
Move over baby
You're got to move ever if you want his love
Shine into your heart.

The silken skies that so remind and mesmerize
And finally blind me
The downy softness of herself forever lingering
Behind me
Never ever has there been
Nor will ever be again
One someone to give you love, tenderness and be
Your friend
Hanging on 'till the bitter end
You can't measure the cost of a woman lost
But it's a heavy loss indeed for those in need.

I've tried to look inside myself
To find the strength from which to draw from
The view she saw from.
Since she tried to go too deep
Limitations brought her down
And though i'd like to free her mind
Visitations bring a frown
I gotta find the place she found
You can't measure the cost of a woman lost
But it's a heavy loss to bear when she's not there.
Where she is no one seems to know
The silken skies have swallowed her up or so it seems.

The morning mist that melts upon the meadow
Brings a touch of sorrow
The one i kissed is all alone
And may or may not know tomorrow.
Just an ordinary girl
To the ordinary eye
But so much deeper goes the vein
Like the glittering of gold you want to touch
Then you gotta hold
You can't measure the cost of a woman lost.

Friends and lovers
Saying goodbye to each other
Their way
Your way
Gathered in garden and parting in doorways
And it's over
Anyway that's what the papers said.
And i wonder
What was going on inside your head
You were there
You were there
I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you?
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?
Friends and lovers
Turning away from the others
Your way
Their way
Closing their doors and then climbing their
Stairways
And it's over
Anyway that's what the people say and i wonder
Does it really have to be this way
You were there
You were there i'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you.
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you.
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?
Or did you stand alone until the darkness came
Just one more room where everybody knew
Your name.
Friends and lovers
Ever apart from others
Endless hallways
Just say goodbye and it's over for always
And it's over
Didn't you believe me when i said and i wonder
What was going on inside your head
You were there
You were there i'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you?
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?
