Twenty Thousand Hearts Songtext
Songtext powered by LyricFind
First we lived in India--in winter it rains there every day
We were younger then, we were children in India
There were signs and people we'd never understand
You said, "hold my hand," and I held your hand
There is one of me, and one of you
and two of us with one hundred questions
and two thousand reasons, but ten's a perfect number
We are twenty thousand hearts full of hunger
Twenty thousand hearts
and all the American were there
They said "it's still last year in New York City"
You said, "New York where?"
I said, "New York City--it's three thousand miles away"
You said, "What's a mile?" I said, "It's far away"...
Now you ask me to explain myself
and I tell you I need distance
You say, "To hell with distance, remember who you're talking to"
I say, "Closeness is too much for me,"
and dismiss you with a smile
You say, "Wish away the closeness and imagine it's a mile
Then we're dancing in Geneva--it's New Year's Eve
We were younger then, we were children in India
There were signs and people we'd never understand
You said, "hold my hand," and I held your hand
There is one of me, and one of you
and two of us with one hundred questions
and two thousand reasons, but ten's a perfect number
We are twenty thousand hearts full of hunger
Twenty thousand hearts
and all the American were there
They said "it's still last year in New York City"
You said, "New York where?"
I said, "New York City--it's three thousand miles away"
You said, "What's a mile?" I said, "It's far away"...
Now you ask me to explain myself
and I tell you I need distance
You say, "To hell with distance, remember who you're talking to"
I say, "Closeness is too much for me,"
and dismiss you with a smile
You say, "Wish away the closeness and imagine it's a mile
