Betty Wright
Ariel
[Verse 1]
Lookin’ round for a different high in the land of the living
Tryin’ to free the bird inside this cage
I got news today that you’re gonna go see the Great Wall of China
I guess I’ll see all the pictures on your page
No I can’t tell the reason from the riddle and the rhyme
I can’t see the feelin’s on your mind
You know it feels like we’re only living under the same sky
When the clock strikes eleven fifty nine

[Chorus]
Do you hear me callin’ Ariel
Am I a fool to think I know you well
Do we see the same stars Ariel
‘Cause sometimes baby those green eyes just don’t tell

[Verse 2]
I’ve been cryin’ on the pillow where you lie
For the past, for the future and everything in-between
Oh does it hurt more to lose you or hurt more to love you baby
Or does it hurt more to look at you on my screen

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Are you gonna leave me lonely
Talkin’ to myself again
Lookin’ out on New York City
[Chorus]

[Outro]
No they just don’t tell oh no
