When I was a man and you were a womannWe practiced ourselves every daynEvery nightnA man with no outlinenWalking in the shadowsnA girl with a blurred facenLeaning in the windowsnLiving our lives on the tides of this citynMoving me to younMoving me through younMoving you to menMoving you through mennWhen I was a man and you were a womannWhen I was a man and you were a womannnWe met in the arcadesnWhere the people were meetingnWe danced down the avenuesnWhile the people were sleepingnLiving our lives on the tides of this citynMoving me to younMoving me through younMoving you to menMoving you through mennI was a swimmer in a foggy barnI was trying to find some seanI was the sound of the furniturenI was a silhouette for yearsnShe had some blossom on the tip of her tonguenShe was the surface of a tradenShe was a model for an echo dressnOh she looked so gold against the greynnWhen I was a man and you were a womannWhen I was a man and you were a woman
