Oh my friend
We have spent
So much time
Looking for someone to blame

'Cause we're the same
And jealous games
Take up time
We could spend on other things

Oh my friend
If it ends
Let us go
And then not look back again

We can't be
You and me
Taking ourselves much too seriously

But out in space
million miners work upon
The nights coal face
And all I see is black
And all the stars look back
At me

Oh my friend
What a friend
I'd have thought
You'd have stayed here till the end

Take a bow
Draw the crowd
We're just words
In the sand
At high tide

But out in space
million miners work upon
The nights coal face
And all I see is black
And all the stars look back
At me

Oh my friend
We should spend
Some more time looking
From the other end

'Cause we would see
So clearly
We blame ourselves
As much as we blame we
We blame ourselves
As much as we blame we
We blame ourselves
