Kissing the light kissing the day I've just got to fade away Got to find some clothes to wear Close the door and pay the fare The beautiful ones go take their test Never leaving our souls to rest Clouds shadows fall, there's truth in jest Is it true that father knows best Everybody stands in the pouring rain She won't share her darkest side She's got so much to hide Strange eyes see what's make believe Looking through you and me Well I've come to see and I've heard the call Believe in me one and all You don't know why you just get by Listen and learn you needn't reply Cross the line feel unkind How could I be so blind My world turns While your world burns The judge retires the jury adjourns Kissing the light kissing the day I've just got to fade away Got to find someone who cares Close the door and climb the stairs
