People Have A Way

People have this way of knowing everything They take one short look and then move on If you ever wanted anything Then you have to disagree Make some time with the fire's coals Who really knows if it isn't coal? I am hardly shocked to learn it's everywhere I read two short words and then passed out If you ever needed anything It's got to be more we can see Like a silver glow after sleepless nights In the melting dark with the losing light Making shapes with the praying eyes Don't ever be that terrified Remember when we closed our eyes behind hotels You spoke three short words and then went down And if you ever needed anyone All that's left is to agree 'Til the meadow shake and the tall grass hums 'Til the first light breaks and morning comes There's no way around it's all getting down We can take everything we've found There's no way we can lose When we're proving simple proofs It's the best thing we can do While the light is coming through --- People Have a Way - Matt Pond PA
