As The Clouds Began To Part
Bear's Den Lyrics

I still see you there
A tall glass of Napoleon
In your off-white leather chair
Trying to sink tomorrow
What's so important today
You said the same shit yesterday
The tired lines that you recite
You don’t really mean them do you?
Another broken afternoon
Your whole life just scattered and strewn

Across the bathroom floor
I can’t do it anymore

We need some help
I can only help you hurt yourself
I threw it all down the wishing well
Don't throw it all down the wishing well
You always say that we're gonna get there
Show me where, show me where
Don't just say that we're gonna get there
I wanna know where, I wanna know where
It’s not too late to mend
We’ve only got one shot now Napoleon
It’s not too late to mend
It’s not too late to mend
What we’ve broken
You always say that we're gonna get there
Show me where, show me where
Don't just say that we're gonna get there
I wanna know where, I wanna know where
It’s not too late to mend
We’ve only got one shot now Napoleon
It’s not too late to mend
It’s not too late to mend
What we’ve broken
