lyrics

Am Fadd9 C G/B

I turned on the light and the shadows they were gone
was that it were so easy in our mind
and we'll laugh about it one day but for now it's just not funny
and i ghost around this crazy town, might hit the ground on the way down if i'm lucky

i never ask, i never ask
some things aren't mine to know
i never ask, i never ask, dear no

cos you're always out of focus in the background
(or turned the other way)

and then i climbed up to the top of the hill
and pretended that i was a tree
but i wasn't fooling you, I wasn't fooling the lord
and I sure the hell wasn't fooling me

now from inside here to outside there and every place between
in the half light with smoke and mirrors,
with sweetness and with sin

i never ask, i never ask
some things aren't mine to know
i never ask, i never ask
dear no

I turned on the light and the shadows they were gone
was that it were so easy in our mind
was that it were so easy in our mind
