1
Oh yeah, yeah
2
Yes well, well, well
3
I took a walk down to the port
4
Where strangers meet and do consort
5
All blinkered with desire
6
And a winter fog moved thickly on
7
A winter fog moved thickly on
8
A winter fog moved thickly on
9
Now, who will be the witness
10
Who will be the witness
11
Who will be the witness
12
When the fog's too thick to see
13
And I saw a friend beside a wall
14
Her hands were raised in supplication
15
And her face I could not see at all
16
And I raised my hands in rage
17
And I brought them down again
18
And we entered through the eastern door
19
I entered through the eastern door
20
She entered through the eastern door
21
And now, who will be the witness
22
Who will be the witness
23
Who will be the witness
24
When you're all too blind to see
25
And time gets somewhat muddled here
26
But no matter, no matter
27
Here come the events all tumbling down
28
Now, beyond the wall was a great garden
29
Into which we passed 'cause of me and my friend
30
The place was all overgrown with weeds
31
And behold from its centre there rose a great fountain
32
A fountain with the healin' waters
33
Yes, a fountain with the healin' waters
34
And we knelt down by the rim
35
And I dipped my hand in and she dipped her hand in too
36
And I said, "Are you healed?"
37
And she said, "Well are you healed?"
38
And I said, "Yes, I'm healed"
39
And she said, "Oh, yes I'm healed then too"
40
And I said, "Babe, you are a liar"
41
"Babe, you are a liar"
42
"Babe, you are a liar"
43
"Babe, you are a liar"
44
"Babe, you are a liar, too"
45
Now, who will be the witness
46
Who will be the witness
47
Who will be the witness
48
When you're all too healed to see
49
And I kissed her once, I kissed her twice
50
And made my way to leave her
51
And she raised her hand up to her face
52
And brought it down again
53
I said, "That gesture, it will haunt me"
54
That gesture, it will haunt me
55
And I left there by the eastern door
56
She left there by the western door
57
Now, who will be the witness
58
Who will be the witness there
59
When you're blind and you can't see
60
Who will be the witness, baby
61
Who will be the witness there
62
When you're all so clean and you cannot see
63
Who will be the witness
64
Who will be the witness
65
Who will be the witness
66
Who will be the witness
67
Who will be the witness, baby
68
Who will be the witness there
69
Oh, when your friends are everywhere
70
Who will be the witness
71
Who will be the witness there
72
And your enemies have ceased to care
73
Who will be the witness
74
Who will be the witness
75
Who will be the witness
76
Who will be the witness
77
Who will be the witness, baby
78
Who will be the witness there, yeah
79
Who will be the witness
80
Who will be the witness
81
Who will be the witness
82
Who will be the witness
83
Who will be the witness, yeah
84
Who will be the witness, yeah
85
Who will be the witness
