lyrics

CHORUS:
WHEN I’M FEELING STUPID AND I THINK THE SUN DON’T SHINE
THAT’S WHEN I KNOW I’M GETTING SMARTER GETTING BRIGHTER ALL THE TIME
YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIKE ME AND YOU MAY NOT WANT TO WANT ME
BUT THERE’S A HARDER TRUTH TO HANDLE, THAT’S BEFORE THE DAY’S BEGUN IT’S DONE

VERSE:
WE USED TO MAKE LOVE OUT THERE UNDER THE MOONLIGHT
THE CHOO-CHOO TRAIN IT WAS A COMFORT FOR ME
AND YOU WERE THERE FOR ME
WITH A LOVE THAT MADE ME KNOW

IT HIT ME THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF GLORY
THAT NOTHING WAS THERE AS FAR AS I COULD SEE
WRAPPED IN LIBERTY
WITH A LOVE THAT MADE ME GROW

WERE YOU THERE FOR ME?
ALL THE TIME
ALWAYS THERE FOR ME
NONE OF THE TIME
NEVER THERE FOR ME
ALL THE TIME

CHORUS

VERSE:
I USED TO CRY GOD AND I USED TO CRY MARY
THE ROSARY BEAD IT WAS A COMFORT FOR ME
‘TILL IT MADE ME SEE
THAT MY SOUL WOULD FEEL THE HEAT

I LIFTED MY HEAD AND I TASTED THE RAINDROPS
THE SUN UP ABOVE IT WOULD SHINE DOWN ON ME
TO BE AL LIGHT FOR ME
UNTIL IT BLINDED ME

WERE YOU THERE FOR ME . . .

(WE USED TO MAKE LOVE, SUNSHINE ABOVE

CHOO-CHOO TRAIN)

(NOW FORGET EVERYTHING, THIS DIONYSIAN RAPTURE
RESURRECTING MY ID FROM THE THRALDOM OF JAH
I THINK HE’S PISSED AT ME
I’LL PRETEND THAT I DON’T KNOW)

WERE YOU THERE FOR ME . . .
