Wonderful Remark (another Version) Lyrics - Van Morrison

How can you stand the silence 

That pervades when we all cry? 

How can you watch the violence 

That erupts before your eyes? 

How can you tell us something 

Just to keep us hanging on? 

Something that just don't mean nothing 

When we see it you are gone 

Clinging to some other rainbow 

While we're standing waiting in the cold 

Telling us the same old story 

Knowing time is growing old

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

That was a wonderful remark 

I had my eyes closed in the dark 

I sighed a million sighs 

I told a million lies... to myself... to myself 

How can we listen to you 

When we know your talk is cheap? 

How can we ever question 

Why we give more and you keep? 

How can your empty laughter 

Fill a room like ours with joy 

When you're only playing with us 

Like a child does with a toy? 

How can we ever feel the freedom 

Or the flame lit by the spark? 

How can we come out even 

When reality is stark? 

That was a wonderful remark 

I had my eyes closed in the dark 

I sighed a million sighs 

I told a million lies... to myself... to myself
