Oh, we're in and out of love somewhere
Between sleep and waking
The Sanskrit songs and last night's dream
And the toll that life's been taking
There's talk of mysteries
And places roamed by poets
And heaven and earth are meeting
And fallen tears best show it
Make way for the living (Oh, make way)
Make way for the living (Make way)
Bright against the black sky
And the shadow of the moon (Oh, in the shadow of the moon)
Make way for the living (Oh, make way)
Oh, make way for the living (Oh, make way)
Thinking no, no mystery should go
Unchallenged we get
The flowers bloom outside the window
For no one's sake and yet
Morning arrives
So gorgeous like a great, dull yawn
Somewhere on a back street
The night chose to become the dawn
Make way for the living (Oh, make way)
Make way for the living (Oh, make way)
Bright against the black sky
And the shadow of the moon (Oh, in the shadow of the moon)
Make way for the living (Oh, make way)
Make way for the living (Oh, make way)
Amber 'round your neck
Silver on your arm
Blue light in your window
Girl, you have a certain charm
Look now as the sky
Falls and rises up again
Look at yourself here
In the afternoon rain
Make way for the living (Oh, make way)
Oh, make way for the living (Oh, make way)
Make way for the living (Make way)
Make way for the living (Oh, oh, oh)
Oh, make way for the
Oh, no, no, no (Oh, make way)
Oh (Oh, make way)
Make way (Oh, make way)
Make way (Make way, make way)
Make way for the living
