BRIAN ENO WITH DAVID BYRNE lyrics - Life Is Long

Ev'rybody says that the living is easy

I can barely see 'cause my head's in the way

Tigers walk behind me - they are to remind me that

I'm lost - but I'm not afraid



Soul to soul - A kiss and a sigh

Sawed in half - by the passage of time

Halfway home - from a window you see

Chains and bars - but I am still free



People on the outside - I remember sweet times

This old rose - is always in bloom

Ev'ryone is happy - to be a baby daddy

Stone love - with nothing to lose



Life is long - if you give it way

So stay, don't go - 'cause I'm fading away

Soul to soul - between you and me

Chain me down - but I am still free



Now I can say - those three little words

And ev'ry day - I'm dreaming a world

Soul to soul - a kiss and a sigh

Holding back - the waters outside.



Life is long - if you give it way

So stay, don't go - 'cause I'm fading away

Soul to soul - between you and me

Chain me down - but I am still free
