Emerson Lake And Palmer Better Days Lyrics

Better Days Lyrics

(Keith Emerson/Greg Lake)

I was walking on this station
I could see somebody lying on a chair
I went over to him
I said, hey man, what are you doing there
And have you got a smoke
I said you`d better come in out of the rain
Before you get yourself soaked

No one can feel inside
How deep the oceans, heartaches hide

CHORUS
So stand on me, I`ll catch you falling
You can stand on me and I`ll help you find a way
Stand on me, I can see our ship turning
Stand on me, we`re sailing on the wind of better days

And they accuse you when you`re over and out
Ulterior motives, that`s what it`s all about
It`s just human nature, they try to make you flinch
But we`re takin` the higher ground inch by inch
No one cal feel inside
How deep the oceans, heartaches hide

CHORUS

And if you tumble when the snowflakes fall
(This is a jungle, it`s not a waterfall)
From where you`re standing you can`t get no change
They keep moving the target clean out of range
