Guess I'd get along without you   If I had no choice   It's taken me this long to find you       Done a lot of getting ready for this   Some things we learn so slow   But look at you, you've got plenty behind you       There's lots of ways to hit the ground   Not many answers to be found   We're faced with mysteries profound   And this is one of the best ones       There are eight million mysteries   In the naked body   Can't even sight on some distant horizon       Like the nine billion names of God   Don't bring you any closer   To anyone you can simply set eyes on       But in the same way it's as real   Don't always recognize what I feel   But of the dancing scenes that life reveals   This is one of the best ones       Say what you will   There's no snake oil or pill   Can make love less painful or fine   There's no theatre   Even of the absurd   Can express what goes on in this meeting of hearts and minds       Guess I'd get along without you   If I had no choice   But please never make it so I have to       Paid a lot of dues to get here   And after all this life   I'm a loser if I don't live with you       There's lots of ways to hit the ground   Not many answers to be found   We're faced with mysteries profound   And this is one of the best ones
