Same Piece Of Air Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

Yesterday we were the best of friends 

Today we can't get back again 

Time has crept in crevices 

And patterns down the wall 

We could paint over the papered cracks 

Tomorrow they would all crack back 

Who are we to try to stop the fall? 

There's no reason to worry 

There's no reason to care 

There's no reason to wonder 

It's not going anywhere 

And we used to love to share the same piece of air 

We behave like real human beings 

Who eat, then wash the dishes clean 

But I have held you in my arms 

And tried to read your mind 

And maybe baby if we both relax 

The axe that grinds behind our backs 

Will wear itself to nothing over time 

There's no reason to worry 

There's no reason to care 

There's no reason to wonder 

We're not going anywhere 

And we used to love to share the same piece of air 

We used to breathe in and out together 

Every one second lasted forever 

There's no reason to worry 

There's no reason to care 

There's no reason to wonder 

We're not going anywhere 

And we used to love to share the same piece of air
