Days 03:10
(Lloyd & Verlaine) Up in the high, high hills - with my floating friend - Watchin' all the silver - no one can ever spend I feel the touch of her hand and all it will erase; These footprints I followed tho they followed my every pace - Days, be more than all we have. No matter how much I cross I always see the same stream. I'm standing up on these bridges that are standing in a dream.

looking for a door that's open wide that won't leave you behind all we find are shutters looking for a hand to hold a hand that won't let go in time you know it's hard to find there's people on their way up there's people on their way down nothing changes and nothing's gonna stay the same coming from the party it's the morning and we're both on E cold but it ain't freezin' friends are in the back asleep and we've got everything we need there's no money but we're smiling the sun is on his way up the stars are on their way down and you and me know it's the best hour of the day 88 jane
