Well don´t lie to me, don´t lie to yourself
We were much too sentimental, baby, to make it in the modern world
And I spent my nights alone, and I rode the wheels off

I simply ain´t the first thief, honey, hold up on a cross
And I don´t believe that anybody here should cry for me

Cause they´ll never know what it cost you to be whole
But to me you´re a dream, a divine mystery
And I´m lonely
Lonely for you only
I´m lonely
Lonely for you only

So come talk to me, I can´t see inside your head
There´s a bitter beast that comes to feed on the things we never said
Tell me all the vicious things that no one knows but God

You simply ain´t the worst that I´ve seen stumbling through the dark
And I´ll take it to my grave no matter what they do to me

Cause they´ll never know what it cost you to be whole
But to me you´re a dream, a divine mystery
And I´m lonely
Lonely for you only
I´m lonely
Lonely for you only

And maybe someday we´ll get used to all this rain
Tumbling like the money through my hands
And maybe they´ll call and say, "We made a big mistake"
And you and I will get our wings

Cause they´ll never know what it cost you to be whole
But to me you´re a dream, a divine mystery
And I´m lonely
Lonely for you only
I´m lonely
Lonely for you only

To call me up and take me for a ride
Where troubled lovers run away and bleed for a while
In poems about Jersey girls they knew in another life
Long before you and I were born
