Strip away the bones and skin
Looking for what lies within
See the stars so cold above
Makes no sense of your flesh and blood

You walked the longest walk
Talked the toughest talk
You were outside, something inside
Took away the words, want to hear again
You were outside, something inside

All of the days we thought would come
All of the words we thought had gone
All of the pain and pleasure gone
Without you

Strip away the bones and skin
Show me what lies within
Would you be the one that I love
Makes no sense of your flesh and blood

You walked the longest walk
Talked the toughest talk
You were outside, something inside
Took away the words, want to live again
You were outside, something inside

All of the days we thought would come
All of the words we thought had gone
All of the pain and pleasure gone
Without you

We'd be making love
Make it right

All of these we thought would come
All of the words we thought had gone
All of the pain and pleasure gone
Without you
