Twenty Thousand Hearts – Eddie From Ohio – letras

First we lived in IndiaIn winter it rains there everydayWe were younger thenWe were children in IndiaThere were signs and peopleWe’d never understandYou said “Hold my hand”And I held your handThere is one of meAnd one of youTwo of usAnd one hundred questionsAnd two thousand reasonsBut ten’s a perfect numberWe are twenty thousand hearts full of hungerTwenty thousand heartsThen we’re dancing in GenevaIt’s New Year’s EveAnd all the Americans were thereThey said, “It’s still last year in New York City.”You said, “New York, where?”I said, “New York City, its three thousand miles away.”You said, “What’s a mile?”I said, “It’s far away.”There is one of meAnd one of youTwo of usAnd one hundred questionsAnd two thousand reasonsBut ten’s a perfect numberWe are twenty thousand hearts full of hungerTwenty thousand heartsNow you ask me to explain myselfAnd I tell you I need distanceYou say, “To hell with distance, remember who you’re talking to.”I say, “Closeness is too much for me.”And dismiss you with a smileYou say, “Wish away your closeness, and imagine it’s a mile.”There is one of meAnd one of youTwo of usAnd one hundred questionsAnd two thousand reasonsBut ten’s a perfect numberWe are twenty thousand hearts full of hungerTwenty thousand heartsTwenty thousand hearts full of hungerTwenty thousand hearts
