A song by The Way, performed live at the Teatronkale Club, Tel Aviv.

Nomi


You claimed you only spoke
When you had something good to say
Could you elaborate on that?
Or has your tongue been bitten by the cat?

You often spoke of ways
That you were gonna change the world
Well the world is waiting on
Your ideas are getting old...

Ever since you've gone,
Silence is your only song
Boy I know you loved to sing
Something surely must be wrong

And everybody's heard
You think you've got your way with words
Perhaps the contrary is true?
I think they've got their way with you...

If I'm gonna get something right
I might as well appeal
To your heart
For a further explanation

I won't put up without a fight
You might as well reveal
Just your part
Yet I dread the revelation

Nomi
You're the only girl who knows me
Although as far as I recall,
It seems I don't know you at all

*

And you used to quote Bob Dylan
And spoke of your plan of life
You'd live with friends until your old
You would never be a wife

All the money that you found
Was working at the nursery
Picking flowers off the ground
In the weekends you had free

We're like flowers in the wind
I had such a lot to say
But I wouldn't stand upright
In case I might get blown away

You're the type that never bends
You're the type who has her way
Getting torn off by the wind
Is a price you're willing to pay

Could it really be that people were impressed
By your style, that meant to suggest
The world is a club
And you are not a member?

Did you really think that I was not possessed
By your smile
We were having a good time
Or do you not remember?

Nomi
You make me feel ever so lonely
And yet I can't help feel done
I know I'm not the only one

I called you on your birthday
And then I heard you sigh
You said you don't believe in birthdays
Well, neither do I...

That wasn't why I called,
But now you've put me in a stance
Your new man has you for the dance
And oh, I've gone and missed my chance

Now I now the feeling
Letting go of an idea
The world goes go on and on and on
While you slowly disappear...

I was rising to your bait
Up was the way I meant to go
But little did I know
You'd left the rod long ago

If I'm gonna get something right
I might call it a day
I've gotta say
You damn well left me feeling numb

And I'm certain that I will be all right
Oh, I'll be ok
After all
There's plenty more where you came from

Nomi
I never meant to say it coldly
I know you've got heart of gold
But you'll never change the world
