[Verse 1]
Everybody says that the living is easy
I can barely see 'cause my head's in the way
Tigers walk behind me, they are to remind me that
I'm lost, but I'm not afraid, oh

[Chorus 1]
Soul to soul, a kiss and a sigh
Sawed in half by the passage of time, oh
Halfway home from a window you see
Chains and bars, but I am still free, oh

[Verse 2]
People on the outside, I remember sweet times
This old rose is always in bloom
Everybody's happy to be a baby daddy
Stone love with nothing to lose, oh

[Chorus 2]
Life is long if you give it way
So stay, don't go, 'cause I'm fading away, oh
Soul to soul, between you and me
Chain me down, but I am still free, oh

[Chorus 3]
Now I can say those three little words
And every day, I'm dreaming a world, oh
Soul to soul, a kiss and a sigh
Holding back the waters outside, oh
