All my life,
I tried so hard,
but I was afraid to walk alone,
Midnight came when we were kids,
You were afraid so I walked with you,
Singing songs till the night was almost gone,
Holding hands,
Only letting go when you were nearly home.

Side by side,
We face the sun,
The anchor of all men in love,
You will be the only one,
When everything is said and done,
In the morning I'll be gone.

Life is what it makes of you,
So don't be afraid to walk alone,
Baby scream when they are bored,
So I'm not afraid of passing on,
Sing me songs,
For my time has almost come,
Hold me close,
And I'll let you know when I am nearly home,

Side by side,
We face the sun,
The anchor of all men in love,
You will be the only one,
When everything is said and done,
In the morning I'll be gone.

    He says something else after "The anchor" if I am not mistaken.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
