Ray (Album Version)

Ray, as of today

I can't say things will ever be the same

And that could be a shame

'Cause though I think I know

Another lonely exile when I see one

And you appear to be one

Still...

I'm playing it down 'cause I could really be found

If you've got it to spare

I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel

'Cause I ought to be there

And Ray, what can I say

You don't know me and it's just wishful thinking

To keep myself from sinking

And hence, no evidence

To support any theory I have handy

That you could understand me

And so...

I'm playing it down 'cause I could really be found

If you've got it to spare

I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel

'Cause I ought to be there

('Cause you're as bad off as me)

And Ray, can we repay

Ourselves for days that we've

lost through indecision

With one of recognition

If so, then here I go

'Cause some things you know

And some you just believe in

And hope it comes out even

I'm playing it down 'cause I could really be found

If you've got it to spare

I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel

'Cause I ought to be there

I ought to be there (x 2)
