Lyrics

Each Day, After Day

Verse 1
I must not be lonely. There?s another person here.
I swore to love her, so that everyone could hear.
Am I not giving? Then what is it I should give?
Am I not living? Am I just a fugitive?

Refrain
I find a world to hide in each day, after day.
I leave romantic things for someone else to say.
I?m wrapped up in a world I dare not call my own.
Why does it seem so far away and so alone?
Why does it seem so far away..?

Verse 2
Who is this woman? Are we really all that close?
Or have I kept her on my arm in just a pose?
Does she feel lonely? Does she sense a sadness, too?
And in her silence, is she wondering what to do?

Bridge
Oh, God! Why must I search for things to say?
I?m young and bright and caring, in my way.
But, what and where and when did something die?
Why don?t I even feel a need to cry?

Refrain
I find a world to hide in each day, after day.
I leave romantic things for someone else to say.
I?m wrapped up in a world I dare not call my own.
Why does it seem so far away and so alone?
Why does it seem so far away..?

Verse 3
I must not be lonely. There?s another person here.
I swore to love her, so that everyone could hear.

Refrain
I find a world to hide in each day, after day.
I leave romantic things for someone else to say.
I?m wrapped up in a world I dare not call my own.
Why does it seem so far away and so alone?
Why does it seem so far away..?
