I wonder how you're feeling There's ringing in my ears And no one to relate to except the sea Who can I believe in? I'm kneeling on the floor There has to be a force Who do I phone? The stars are out and shining But all I really want to know Oh won't you show me the way I want you show me the way Well, I can see no reason, You living on your nerves When someone drops a cup and I submerge I'm swimming in a circle, I feel I'm going down There has to be a fool To play my part Someone thought of healing, But all I really want to know Oh won't you show me the way I want you show me the way I want you day after day I wonder if I'm dreaming I feel so unashamed I can't believe this is happening to me I watch you when you're sleeping And then I want to take your love Oh won't you show me the way Oh won't you show me the way I want you day after day I want you day after day Oh won't you show me the way I want you day after day
