Oh yeah, yeah Yes well, well, well Yes well, well, well Yes well, well, well I took a walk down to the port Where strangers meet and do consort All blinkered with desire And a winter fog moved thickly on A winter fog moved thickly on A winter fog moved thickly on Now, who will be the witness? Who will be the witness? Who will be the witness? When the fog's too thick to see And I saw a friend beside a wall Her hands were raised in supplication And her face I could not see at all And I raised my hands in rage And I brought them down again And we entered through the eastern door I entered through the eastern door She entered through the eastern door And now, who will be the witness? Who will be the witness? Who will be the witness? When you're all too blind to see Mmm And time gets somewhat muddled here But no matter, no matter Here come the events all tumbling down Now, beyond the wall was a great garden Into which we passed 'cause of me and my friend And the place was all overgrown with weeds And behold from its center there rose a great fountain A fountain with the healin' waters Yes, a fountain with the healin' waters And we knelt down by the rim And I dipped my hand in and she dipped her hand in too And I said, "Are you healed?" And she said, "Well are you healed?" And I said, "Yes, I'm healed" And she said, "Oh, yes I'm healed then too" And I said, "Babe, you are a liar" "Babe, you are a liar" "Babe, you are a liar" "Babe, you are a liar" "Babe, you are a liar, too" Now, who will be the witness? Who will be the witness? Who will be the witness? When you're all too healed to see And I kissed her once, I kissed her twice And made my way to leave her And she raised her hand up to her face And brought it down again I said, "That gesture, it will haunt me" That gesture, it will haunt me And I left there by the eastern door She left there by the western door Now, who will be the witness? Who will be the witness there? When you're blind and you can't see Who will be the witness, baby? Who will be the witness there? When you're all so clean you cannot see Who will be the witness? Who will be the witness? Who will be the witness? Who will be the witness? Who will be the witness, baby? Who will be the witness there? Oh, when your friends are everywhere Who will be the witness? Who will be the witness there? And your enemies have ceased to care Who will be the witness? Who will be the witness? Yeah, who will be the witness? Who will be the witness? Who will be the witness, baby? Who will be the witness there? Yeah, who will be the witness? Who will be the witness? Who will be the witness? Who will be the witness? Who will be the witness? Yeah, who will be the witness? Yeah, who will be the witness? Who will be the witness? Who will be the witness?
