Here With Me

You should be here
with me in Prague
A funny thing happened
late in life
And funny things are things
we want to tell
To those who know us best
and you do
And would find my charm
amusing
If only it wasnt so spilled
on the streets
With everyone standing round
to look
Wondering where
the body is
Two trams to Letna park
and all those steps
City laid out across the river
smiling
You'd like the conversations
overheard
In a language I don't understand
nor you
The peace of other people's
quiet talk
Against my ear like
background music
Music we should share
If sharing were the end of it all
And made some difference
It's peace
But what the hell is peace
except a look inside
At all the stuff we thought
was outside
Held out, locked out
let in
So thats the funny thing
I'd share with you
This knowing what
I never knew
Finding it
late
Wanting to give it to you
early
It's such a long
road
And I'd like to save you
some steps
