Are We Laughing? Lyrics

Are You Still In Control Of
The Boat That You Row
Or Do You Still Cling To Me
When It’s Sinking
I Never Condemned You,
I Only Consoled You
When Candlelight Made Me A King

For The Wide-eyed And Laughing
Passed Like A Season
Erasing A Passion To Sin
For No One Knew Better Than The
Tea Leaves And The Tarots
That The Wide-eyed And Laughing
Were Just One Step Ahead Of The Wind

And The Hearts That You Played
On The Porch Swing For Me
Was A Song That I’d Heard In The Past
For I Had An Audience Somewhere Inside You
That Applauded Whenever You Laughed

For The Wide-eyed And Laughing
Passed Like A Season
Erasing A Passion To Sin
For No One Knew Better Than The
Tea Leaves And The Tarots
That The Wide-eyed And Laughing
Were Just One Step Ahead Of The Wind

Gone Is A Word That I Now Rarely Use
Though Sometime In The Course Of A Day
I Go Racing Back Like A Man Possessed
By The Wide-eyed And Laughing Daughters
Of Some Different Age
