Passing all the pictures on the wall
Counting all the stairs I know them all
Knowing there is nothing left to say
I take her by the hand and lead the way
I lead the way for
When [bad word] 
And she wants all the world to know
She calls my name, she calls my name
And she never lets me go
Have all my efforts found the way
Have all my efforts gone astray

Waiting by the closet down the hall
I can see her shadow on the wall
All of this for a bum like me
Beauty only for my eyes to see
I can see it
When [bad word] 
And she wants everyone to know
She calls my name, she calls my name
And she never lets me go
Have all my efforts found the way
Have all my efforts gone astray

Feel all the pieces falling right back into place
Feel all emotions dripping down into my face
And all the love I know she feels for me
I can feel it
When [bad word]
