Lyrics
Everybody laughed when I told them
I wanted you, I wanted you
Everybody grinned, they humored me
They thought that someone spiked my tea
Everybody screamed, they told me you
Would cost the moon, we'll be there soon
Everbody laughed 'til they were blue
They didn't believe my words were true
Everybody laughed but you
It's easy to lose touch with all the friends
You like so much, or liked so much
Everybody laughed, they couldn't take me seriously
Abandoned me
Sometimes I would read of things they'd done in magazines
They made the scene
Everybody left with such important things to do
But I'm not blue
Everybody left but you
'Cause everybody left but you
Many years have passed and some have fallen by the way
I heard them say
Everybody dreamed but those who fell
Are sleeping now, they're sleeping now
Everybody climbed like ivy to the top most branch
It was their chance
Everybody grasped 'til they were through
It's all they thought that they could do
'Cause everybody fell
Everybody fell
Everybody fell but you
Everybody fell
Everybody fell
Everybody fell
Everybody fell
