lyrics

One Thing words and music copyright Bibi Farber 1998

It's a good thing I don't know how to reach you
There’s this one thing I wish I'd have time to teach you

calling and calling and calling around
standing up tall while my soul hits the ground
starting to lose what I thought we just found

and it's one thing the wall came down so easy
and another to leave it down and stand here bare

games in the sand taught me more in one day
I knew all the rules but you taught me to play
starting to see that there's more than one way

so the search party was out on the beach
searching for more of those dreams out of reach
All of the lessons I thought I could teach
I couldn't teach you anything

questions unite us but answers divide
our parallel bodies will start to collide
holding on steady
starting to slide

It's a good thing I don't know how to reach you
There’s this one thing I wish I'd have time to teach you

calling and calling and calling around
standing up tall while my soul hits the ground
starting to lose what I thought we just found

games in the sand taught me more in one day
I knew all the rules but you told me to play
starting to see that there's more than one way
