Bridge for Babel

Feelings
can be fragile, can be strong;

Words can go wrong,
Actions can go wrong,

All things vague lost in translation,

the kind of things life is mostly made up from.

But
with those same feelings

We forgive,
We learn.

You say you wanna move on and
You say I'm falling behind
Can you read my mind?

The good old days, the honest man;
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees;
A broken wrist and a big trapeze

Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?

It's funny how you just break down
Waitin' on some sign
Can you read my mind?

Slippin' in my faith until I fall
You never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again

She said I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Put your back on me...

The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
When you read my mind
