Open Up

Say you know you've got to run You know you've got to hide You don't know who to follow Or who is on your side You don't know where you're goin' You won't talk of where you've been And I may see you tomorrow Or nevermore again. And I've seen you in the cities I've seen you on the road And your face is all a-twisted 'cause your brain is a heavy load And then you turn and ask me Say how will I ever know And you talk of all your searchin' But I think it's all for show Open up my friend Love someone if you can Go on, let her in Open up again. And I hear your mournful songs I hear your painful crys And I've seen the light of hunger Linger deep within your eyes And you talk about your sinkin' And what a hole you're in You expect for me to love you When you hate yourself my friend. And you've got yourself a potion Oh to keep you from your sleep In that dark and lonely hour Well I've heard you laugh and weep But you'll always be a-runnin' Runnin' till you find your doom 'Cause you never face your lonely soul You never face the gloom. Open up my friend Love someone if you can Go on, let her in Open up again.
