William & Maggie

William, to whom the world was given
Dared not disturb the sleep of friends
But one time in the night
He turned to his wife
And he whispered, "Remember
When I was young
And you were Maggie?"

'Cause I've been thinking about
You and me and everybody in between
It seems we've suffered
One too many dreams
Of things that weren't so bad
It's just they were never things
That we could trust
Are we still pretending they're enough?

Maggie, by whom all hearts were measured
Kissed William softly on the cheek and said
"Oh, it always amazed me
How someone could come
To the edge of a world
Drop a stone down the side
And turn, and return to the very same life
I remember when I was young
And you were William."

'Cause I've been thinking about
You and me and everybody in between
It seems we've suffered
One too many dreams
Of things that weren't so bad
It's just they were never things
That we could trust
We must stop pretending they're enough

What of the interval moment
When you feel nothing
And I feel nothing?
Maggie, I'm trembling
In this interval moment
When you feel nothing
And I feel nothing

Maggie, by whom all hearts were measured
Kissed William softly on the cheek and said
"Sometimes William, William sometimes
You've got to open up the windows
And let the wind blow through."

You've got to let it blow through
You and me, and everybody in between
It seems we've suffered
One too many dreams
Of things that weren't so bad
It's just they were never things
That we could trust
We will release them as they turn to dust

I've been thinking about
You and me and everybody in between
It seems we've suffered
One too many dreams
Of things that weren't so bad
It's just they were never things
That we could trust
Are we still pretending they're enough?
Still pretending they're enough
Still pretending they're enough for us
