I wish you knew who I know
I wish I could endear you
To the one who I have learned to love
But I've been stepping lightly
And I believe quite rightly so
You've always known just where I stand
I wonder how many years you have left
Before your well-ordered lives slip away
Slip away when the rain washes down from the sky
Much too late you will see that all this time
You've been living on a landslide
Living on a landslide
I wish you knew who I know
I wish that I could steer you
Nearer to the rock on which I stand
For when you turn your lights out
And lay not sleeping do you
Wonder why you feel so insecure
And when the morning comes it's alright
But then the newspaper catches your eye
We're slipping away headlines say there is not much time
Much too late you will see where you should have climbed
Far away to the Rock
Living on a landslide
Living on a landslide
