Intro :
You t hought that it could never hap pen
To all the people that you bec ame,
Your body lost in l egend, the be ast so very t ame.
But here, right here,
Between the bi rthmark and the s tain,
Between the ocean and your open v ein,
Between the s nowman and the ra in,
Once aga in, once ag ain,
Lov e calls you b y your na me.
The wome n in your scrapbook
Who m you still praise and bl ame,
You say they chained you to your fi ngernails
And you cl imb the halls of f ame.
Oh but here, right here,
Between the peanuts and the cag e,
Between the darkness and the st age,
Between the hour and the age,
Once aga in, once ag ain,
Lov e calls you b y your na me.
Shoul dering your loneliness
Lik e a gun that you will not l earn to aim,
You stumble into this movie ho use,
Then you cl imb, you climb into the fr ame.
Yes , and here, right here
Between the moonlight and the lane,
Between the tunnel and the tr ain,
Between the victim and his st ain,
Once aga in, once ag ain,
Lov e calls you b y your na me.
I l eave the lady meditating
On the very love which I, I d o not wish to claim,
I journey down the hundred st eps,
But the st reet is still the very s ame.
And here, right here,
Between the dancer and his can e,
Between the sailboat and the dr ain,
Between the newsreel and your ti ny pain,
Once aga in, once ag ain,
Lov e calls you b y your na me.
Whe re are you, Judy, where are you, Anne ?
Whe re are the paths your her oes came ?
Wondering out loud as the bandage pulls awa y,
Was I, was I o nly limping, was I r eally lame ?
Oh here, come over here,
Between the windmill and the g rain,
Between the sundial and the ch ain,
Between the traitor and her pa in,
Once aga in, once ag ain,
Lov e calls you b y your na me.
