wonderful remark

• van morrison abimizin güzide bir eseri. sözleri şu şekilde:
  
  how can you stand the silence
  that pervades when we all cry
  how can you watch the violence
  that erupts before your eyes
  you can't even grab a hold on
  when we're hanging oh so loose
  you don't even listen to us
  when we talk it ain't no use
  
  leave your thoughtlessness behind you
  then you may begin to understand
  clear the emptiness around you
  with the waving of your hand
  
  that was a wonderful remark
  i had my eyes closed in the dark
  i sighed a million sighs
  i told a million lies to myself, to myself
  ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
  
  now, how can we listen to you
  when we know that your talk is cheap
  how can we never question
  why we give more and you keep
  
  how can your empty laughter
  fill a room like ours with joy
  when you're only playing with us
  like a child does with a toy
  
  how can we ever feel the freedom
  or the flame lit by the spark
  how can we ever come out even
  when reality is stark
  
  that was a wonderful remark
  i had my eyes closed in the dark
  i sighed a million sighs
  i told a million lies to myself, to myself
  ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
  
  listen, how can you tell us something
  just to keep us hanging on, yeah
  something that just don't mean nothin'
  when we see you, you are gone
  
  clinging to some other rainbow
  while we're standing waiting outside in the cold
  telling us the same sad story
  knowing time is growing old
  
  touch your world up with some color
  dream you're swinging on a star
  taste it first then add some flavor
  now you know just who you are
  
  that was a wonderful remark
  i had my eyes closed in the dark
  i sighed a million sighs, oh yeah
  i told a million lies to myself, oh yeah, to myself
  ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
  ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
  
  wonderful remark
  and that...
  
  that was a wonderful remark, yes it was, right on
  i had my eyes closed in the dark, right on
  i sighed a million sighs
  i told a million lies to myself, alright, to myself
  ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
