Nils Lofgren
Each Other’s Medicine
[Verse 1]
So all that loneliness for a moment is through
And now it's going to take time to find some faith for you
You've got a history of crash landings
Coming down on nothing but a prayer
Finding no one there to break the fall
So you got all twisted up inside
Got a new hairdo and a big disguise
'Til no one could recognize you at all
[Chorus]
Well that's all right, that's okay
I'm going to love you any which way
That's okay, that's all right
We'll be each other's medicine tonight
[Verse 2]
Well the path of resistance for a moment now has cleared
And you want to open up but you're locked down shut with fear
Because you know the lonely corner
Where the blind man begs for change
You've carried that cup and cane before
And you never get what you think you deserve
So you settle for token kindness
And sympathetic words
Anything to ease the pain
[Chorus]
Well that's all right, that's okay
I'm going to have you any which way
That's okay, that's all right
We'll be each other's medicine tonight
[Bridge]
Well all the stopped clocks are ticking
It's time I do believe
When you've got nothing left to give
And you're too paralysed to receive
When you're unfamiliar to yourself
And a stranger to everybody else
When you're too lost and too gone to see
[Chorus]
Well that's all right, that's okay
I'll recognize you any which way
That's okay, that's all right
We'll be each other's medicine tonight
