Ray

[Verse 1]

Ray, as of today, I can't say things will ever be the same

And that could be a shame

'Cause though I think I know another lonely exile when I see one

And you appear to be one

Still...

[Chorus]

I'm playing it down 'cause I could really be found if you've got it to spare

I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel 'cause I oughta be there

[Verse 2]

Ray, what can I say?

You don't know me, and it's just wishful thinking to keep myself from sinking

And hence, no evidence to support any theory I have handy

If you could understand me

And so...

[Chorus]

I'm playing it down 'cause I could really be found if you've got it to spare

I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel 'cause I oughta be there

[Bridge]'

Cause you're as bad off as me...

[Verse 3]

Ray, can we repay ourselves for days that we've lost through indecision

With one of recoginition?

If so, then here I go, 'cause some things you know...

And some you just believe in

And hope it comes out even

I...

[Chorus]

I'm playing it down 'cause I could really be found if you've got it to spare

I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel 'cause I oughta be there

[Outro]

I oughta be there

I oughta be there

I...
