Each Other's Medicine

Patti Scialfa


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
And finding no one there
To break the fall
So you got all
Twisted up inside
Got a new hairdo
And a big disguise
Till no one
Could recognize you at all

Chorus:
Well that's all right
That's o.k.
I'm going to love you
Any which way
That's o.k.
That's all right
We'll be
Each other's medicine tonight

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 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

Well, that's all right
That's o.k.
I'll recognize you
Any which way
That's o.k.
That's all right
We'll be
Each other's medicine tonight
