    Default Solved: Can anybody help with the name of the song thses lyrics are from??

    Hi,anybody recognise(or remember!) what the name of the song is that contains the following lyrics. Song is at least 20 years old! For some reason I keep thinking it is sung by Cowboy Junkies but I searched and no luck. Anyway, the lyrics I have.......

    "These words are nothing to the ties that bind you
    they echo the isolation that lies behind you
    As you dream of a world that was lost before you were born

    Open your eyes to the things you cannot see

    They say in this life there are two fools of a kind
    these who love and those who pay love no mind
    Now I'm looking at you and you're looking at me
    And there's nothing in between us but what we both see (or believe?)

    So won't you tell me, why are you waiting
    when you already know it's yours for the taking
    Only you can change the way you live"

    Would love to know the name of the song and the artist so I can buy it again. greatly appreciate any help

    Artist: Hunters and Collectors
    Title: Way You Live

    In your neighbors garden the grass is greener
    Sweet perfection is only a breath away
    Longing for it all, your head is filled with wonder
    Open your eyes you could believe

    Wont you tell me, Why are you waiting?
    When you already know, its yours for the taking
    Only you can change, the way you live
    The way you live

    These words are nothing to the ties that bind you
    They echo the isolation that lies behind you
    As you dream of a world, that was lost before you were born
    While the light of day remains a mystery

    Wont you tell me, Why are you waiting?
    When you already know, its yours for the taking
    Only you can change, the way you live
    The way you live

    They say in this life there are two fools of a kind
    There are those that love and there are those who pay love no mind
    Now Im here looking at you, and youre looking back at me
    and theres nothing in between us, but what we both believe

    Chorus: (two times)

    So wont you tell me, why are you waiting
    When you already know, its yours for the taking
    Only you can change, the way you live

    The way you live

    Great!! Thanks so much. No wonder I couldn't find it, not having remembered who sung it!!
    Hope I can return the favour to someone else who's got the same problem......
