I thought that you knew her
(I thought that you had heard)
I thought that you cared
But what am I to do
At four in the morning
With her back against us all?
Running out of run-arounds
Gently down the stream
How could you make me who I am
When I made you who you are?
I thought that you knew her
(I thought that you had heard)
I thought that you cared
But what am I to do
At four in the morning
With her back against us all?
Gently to the end with me
Rowing at your side
Through Denver's cold and frozen ice
I thought I saw, I thought I saw you standing there
I thought that you knew her
(I thought that you had heard)
I thought that you cared
But what am I to do
At four in the morning
With her back against us all?
Unclouded and clearly
Words work themselves back to me
Every time from the bottom, it's all the same
"It's all the same!", she screamed
She screamed, "it's all the same"
(Yeah!)
I thought that you knew her
(I thought that you had heard)
I thought that you cared
But what am I to do
At four in the morning
With her back against us all?
(I thought that you had heard)
I thought that you cared
But what am I to do
At four in the morning
With her back against us all?
Running out of run-arounds
Gently down the stream
How could you make me who I am
When I made you who you are?
I thought that you knew her
(I thought that you had heard)
I thought that you cared
But what am I to do
At four in the morning
With her back against us all?
Gently to the end with me
Rowing at your side
Through Denver's cold and frozen ice
I thought I saw, I thought I saw you standing there
I thought that you knew her
(I thought that you had heard)
I thought that you cared
But what am I to do

Unclouded and clearly
Words work themselves back to me
Every time from the bottom, it's all the same

She screamed, "it's all the same"

But what am I to do
At four in the morning
With her back against us all?

we had to read this in the 5th grade...but every year we learn about the H-bomb for some reason, so I still remember it.
I don't really get the lyrics. I mean, obviously they're a completely different meaning...and maybe just about a wish, or a hope someone has. maybe someone is depressed or something (the girl) and the ambiguous "you" was supposed to fold 1000 paper cranes and help her or wish for her, but "you" failed.
I don't know.
