What You Did Lyrics - Rush - Black Gold

What they said* 

In whispered tones 

Kept racing through my head 

Empty room 

Lit cigarettes 

Turning white knuckles red 

You're coming home 

You think you're clear 

But I hear you shut the door 

Your story's straight 

But you're breathing fast 

And you give yourself away 

What you did 

What you said 

That's the moment, now it's dead 

Will never be the same, 

Won't ever be the same, 

The same again 

At my door 

I hear the bell 

But can't look you in the eye 

Sleep alone 

The tv flashes on and on and on 

I let you in 

I see your face 

But my patience fades away 

I shut you out 

When you wanted in 

Now there's nothing left to say 

You can take me down 

But you can't take it back 

You can take your time 

But it won't bring you back here 

You can take my word 

But you can't take my world
