Maybe

maybe, love saw me coming from afar

maybe, love thought I was too strong

and did not need to find her love

but love, she was waiting, kept me waiting

sleeping, dusty, sometimes hollow and grey

where the sand tells you his tale

covered with grain, covered with rain

maybe, she saw me coming from afar

maybe, but then I found her

and love's love was mine to take away

and maybe, maybe she will stay

maybe...

with love...who's to say

other people

we were livin' the life of the happy people,
yet we were not livin' it up, we thought we
were

should we see other peolpe, yes, we should
would we be happier, we could, we thought
we could we did not

these happy people were not as happy as they
should, we were not happier as we thought we
would

we thought it over, we did not need the other
people, we were more happy with each other
than we ever did believe we ever could
