There’s a sound deep inside
And it feels just like thunder
Like the rushing of white water
And it’s bursting in your head
There’s a fist around your heart
And it’s grip is getting tighter
And the sweat upon your face is running
Burning in your eyes
There’s no one there to help you now
This time you’re really on your own
There’s no one there to show you how
You have to find ... find your own way home
Caught in the spirit of the age
I rode along the wave
Accomplice to the avarice
The master and the slave
I played my role so easily
Wore my costumes well
And slapped and stabbed the backs of players
Playing the kiss-and-sell
And in this this life of give and take
You know it’s better to receive
And at the offer of an outstretched hand
I’d ask what can you do, what can you do for me
Ambition take me by the hand
And guide me through the shifting sands
Lead me to that promised land
Where everyman’s a king
Oh, feet of clay!
Don’t fail me now
There has to be a way some how
Two steps forward, three steps back
Break my heart, an art attack!
Show me everything I lack, things I lack ...
Seems to me, this seemed to be
The only way that finally
Tight-closed eyes would every see
Cracks begin to show
Swim up-stream, against the tide
Choke on faith and swallow pride
To find a new self, deep inside
That I don’t know
I don’t know!
Parsons and priests will look after your soul
But only you can exercise your self-control
And there are people who make history
While most read history books
Whilst some attract admiring glances
Most are scared to look
And if, just by some miracle, we see the light
I hope to God it’s bright enough
To highlight wrong from right
And will the signs for ‘up’ and ‘down’
Be clear enough to show?
And will we know the difference?
I don’t know!
I don’t know!
And now those days have gone,
Consigned to someone else’s memory
Embrace the changes still to come
Exploring every possibility
No shame the glory days have gone!
Farewell to broken dreams and chances missed
Farewell to shallow smiles and hollow hearts
And long forgotten promises
And now it dawned, I watched the sunrise
From the window of another day
I felt the shackles that had bound me,
Heavy, lighten, break and fade away
And if the future is an open road
I think I’ve learned to read the signs
And if the future is an open book
I’ve learned to read between the lines
There’s a sound deep inside
And it feels just like thunder
Like the rushing of white water
And it’s bursting in your head
There’s a fist around your heart
And it’s grip is getting tighter
And the sweat upon your face is running
Burning in your eyes
There’s no one there to help you now
This time you’re really on your own
There’s no one there to show you how

Up late again, I go downstairs
And put the morning kettle on
Just a day like any other, with no warning of the coming storm
Come back upstairs, I see you in the early light
Your ‘morning’ smile still sleepy
As you wash away the night
We saw ourselves this way, forever young and strong
Now the mirror cracked, we see so clearly,
See that we were wrong
So here’s where we begin
With a love of those our love surrounds
And the enemy, the enemy within
Lying where I fall, I feel so scared I hardly breath
I can feel your rear, I feel your tears
I feel you reaching out to me
Clinging on, I want so much for this to go away
Surely this can’t happen here
On such a very ordinary day?
We found ourselves this way
Together, holding on
To the splinters of the visions
That we’d built our lives upon
So here’s where we begin
With a love of those our love surrounds
And the enemy, the enemy within
Sleep now, you can sleep now
There’s no need to be afraid
We’re here to help
We can take away the pain
Just let it slip away
We know it hurts, just let it go
And after all, and in the end there’s always us
Wake up! Wake up! You must fight this sleep
Don’t slip away, we need you here
You’re sinking way too deep
Remember all the plans we had,
the things we said we’d do
Wake up! Wake up!
I know it hurts, but please don’t go
And after all, and in the end, there’s only us
There’s only us, remember us ...
You squeeze my hand, to my surprise I find
I’m still here!
This is no miracle, no slick romance
This is real
A mind made up, no going back alone
We hold our breath, it’s nearly time
And silently I pray that it’s not mine!
I pray that it’s not mine
When I was a young man, dreaming as a young man dreams
I imagined breaking hearts, a hero in my own mind
This is where it ends, those young man’s fancies
If this is growing up, we must be sooo old now!
Now the stage is set and the theatre’s open
Helpless as an infant, wheel me on
Everything I thought I knew blown out like cobwebs
Held only by the strength in you, it’s our time now!
Our time
So this is where the chapter ends
And closer now than ever were
Taking stock of what we have
And never take for granted that
Without the strength, without the love
There wouldn’t be a now at all
I would have fallen, given in
Midnight, he knows she’s there
She’s patiently waiting to greet him
He creeps in, she’s sleeping,
Turns the lights on and she comes alive
Just like she always is, there on demand
Waiting to act on his every command
She puts the whole of the world in his hand
A tick and a tock from the grandfather clock
That stands in the hall with it’s hands in its pockets
Could chatter for years but there’s no-one to hear
He’s blasting off in his own private rocket
He’s gone, carried away by the promise he’s seen
An ad in the back of a free magazine
So here he goes courting his credit card queen
Just sit back, relax and let me do everything
You tell me where and we’re on our way
The whole human knowledge is deep down inside me
I’m ready so where can I take you today?
The wonders of nature? Achievements of man?
Cathedrals of Europe to the hills of Japan
So where now, where’s this adventure to lead?
The cosmos, the oceans, the dessert -
I’m everything that you need
Scenes of the Earth from the moon
Or a virtual eclipse of the sun
Science and poetry and music - this journey has only begun
Pandora hold on! Though you mean to be kind
If you think I’m a seeker of knowledge,
Then you must be out of my mind!
I want a connection, a contact; the feeling that I’m not alone
I want to know I’m still alive,
The light’s on and somebody’s home!
Pandora, though you mean to be kind
Pandora, I just need to find ...
Oh God, this is it, I think I’ve arrived
There’s starlets in scarlet, with bright painted lips
And lovelies in lingerie that barely fits - say hello!
They’re asking me in, to their palace of sin
And all that they want for their friendship it seems
Is my plastic pass to the gates of my dreams, here we go!
Pandora my friend, well I might as well stay
There’s nobody else I can play with today
But she’s gone, she’s gone
I’m here where they can’t even see me react
I don’t have to talk and they won’t answer back
I belong, I belong
Pandora my love, won’t you fly me away
I’m spent out, I’m empty, I’m fading away
And all that I’m left with, is the feeling I’m really alone
I want to erase any trace that I’ve been here
Pandora please take me back home
When I picture Gra, it’s always cold
Shaking off the rain and hanging up his coat
Brushing off his wide brimmed hat
He takes a cigarette and swears he doesn’t smoke
Could you really not see any way
Just to make it through another day?
Or maybe you were just afraid
Of being left, alone
A tall ship with his sails unfurled
He blustered through the tides
Or so you would believe
But the storms that raged inside his mind
Were hurricanes, blew hate to deceive
But the ship was sinking much too fast
He’s the last on board, he’s lashed on to the mast
Unprepared to meet the coming storm
He’s clinging on, alone
Who could live with that tomorrow?
Who could live with that today?
And if it’s only time we borrow
Maybe we’ll have time to pay
Time to pay
There’s a space inside the place
He had in so many hearts
But the masks he used to hide his pain
Split the man, he played too many parts
With no anchor left to hold his place
He walked alone and stepped out into space
Now there’s no need to be afraid
He’ll never be alone
Who could live with that tomorrow?
Who could live with that today?
And if it’s only time we borrow
Maybe we’ll have time to pay
Time to pay
What did you see when you closed your eyes?
Did you see the pain that you left behind?
What did you see when you closed your eyes?
Did you see the pain that you left behind?
Did you see the devil, or did you see God
Was it heaven or was it hell?
Well you selfish sod!
You should’ve seen your children cry
You should’ve seen their mother’s eyes
Did you really mean to deal this blow?
Are you up there watching?
Did you see the show?
In your darkest dreams it’s you out there
Hiding in the shadows from the cold night air
Streets of gold have turned to stone, stone crumbles into dust
Don’t think of the realities, until the day you must
in your darkest streets, you’ll find them there
Hiding in the shadows from the stranger’s stare
Frightened faces hide from flashing lights
These are the children, children of the night
In every town, in every city
Blind eyes show no signs of pity
For the children, children of the night
Who are children, children of the night?
Wrapped in local rags to keep the night at bay
The armies of the unloved battle day to day
dealers, pushers, pimps police the streets they own
While good citizens just read the headlines, safe at home
Did you ever wonder where the
Families who should be there are
For the children, children of the night
Who are the children, children of the night
Crawlers cruise the kerbs,
They’ve all come out to play
Lured out by the promises
Of privates on parade
Cheap make-up, layered too thick
But she’s too young to know
And anyway, it hides a face she doesn’t want to show
Then there are the boys at the station
They’ll meet you from your train
You wouldn’t greet them in the street
But you’d meet them there again
Exchange the goods, then go home
To your wife and kids
And pray that there’s no consequence to
What you did
For the children, children of the night
Who are the children, children of the night
Pray for the children, children of the night
Because these are your children,
Well you wake you rub your
eyes Feet hit the floor
but you don't smile
You remember life was not the game
But filled wither bitter prizes
If you're looking for your smile
I'll do that for you
Whe you wake and rub your eyes
Feet hit the floor you run the mile
You remember love was all the same
Never worth your while
If you're looking for your prize
I'll do that for you
I'll do that for you
I'll do that for you
While I drown you in an ugly sea of blankets
I'll do that for you
I'll do that for you
Sometimes my words they miss your ears
Sometimes my thoughts don't come out clear
When all my ordinary fears my only friend
Here we go again
Well you wake you rub your eyes
Cover your ears cause you can't take it
You remember how the day would go
If you're looking for your style
I'll do that for you
I'll do that for you
I'll do that for you
While we dance the dance that ened all the madness
I'll do that for you
I'll do that for you
Sometimes my thoughts don't come out clear
When all my ordinary fears my only friend here we go again...
Well you wak you rub your eyes
feet hit the floor but then you smile
You remember love was not the same
And always worth your while
And I see you found your smile
This is how its gonna be
This is how its gonna be
You had a gold guitar
And thought that you could be a star
And everyone around the school
Was sure you would get to far
You met a dancing dancer
That came to every gig ya hit
You gave her all your love
And in the closet girl ya went
And i know that this is how the story goes
This is how its gonna be
She was a dancing dancer
That came to all the songs ya sang
But dancing to the mix
Was never gonna get her paid
She took the classes
So that she could teach the masses
About the history of losers
Why the poser got his ass kicked
And i know that this is how the story goes
This is how its gonna stay
This is how its always gonna be
This is how its always gonna be
You had yourself a gold guitar
Thought that you could be a star
You had a gold guitar
And that you could be a star
But now ya got two kids
You wore these glasses and the girl the car
So ya hit the suit the tie to work
To make it right
But now the dancer screams
That you were never home at night
And i know that this is how the story goes
This is how its gonna stay
This is how its always gonna be
You had yourself a gold guitar
Thought that you could be a star
This is how its always gonna be
For you and me
I was a king with a six string
That really made her sing
She kept swinging her g-string
And really shake her thing man
Together we came
But never the same
She believed in my dreams
And i respected her game
This past roller coaster
Such a fast roller coaster
Still pushing demos
While she pushes the stroller
Songs about love that were broken in names
But when the rents due
She said they all sound the same
She aint to blame
When she works all day long
While at home gettin high
Tryin to write me a song
Way the mouths move man
The third got still
Got an ad in the paper
Got a six string to sell for real
This is how its always gonna be
This is how its always gonna be
This is how its always gonna be
This is how its always gonna be
You had yourself a gold guitar
Thought that you could be a star
This is how its always gonna be
You had yourself a gold guitar
Thought that you could be a star
This is how its always gonna be
You had yourself a gold guitar
Thought that you could be a star
I wanna live, inside of this home
DonÂ't worry about, what they say
When IÂ'm gone
I wanna live, inside of this home
DonÂ't worry about, what they say
IÂ'm not alone
All of these stories, we were told back when
They keep on telling them over and over again
All of the stories, we think to be true
I wanna live here, I wanna live here
However you see whatÂ's going on
However you judge what is right, what is wrong
ItÂ's not that I Â...over snow, thereÂ's no past
EverythingÂ's rolling along, nothing will last
I wanna live here, I wanna live here
I miss you and the memory machine
And the factory where we make something of dreams
And we wandered around your streets
With sewn on button eyes our ears become our memories
The blind loving the blind
And our voices become our fingers
And you touched me with your song
And touched me all night long
I miss you
I miss you
And the memory machine making whiskey from the things
We no longer need and you kissed me
But I was too drunk to really know
That you loved me enough to watch me go
He's a dog
But he's dressed up like a sheep
Got bones all through the backyard
But he likes to drink tea
We play scrabble on the weekend
And he talks about the weather most of the time
I thought my sacred body
With him it would be fine
And I walked into the doorway
He slid across the room
My heart, it started racing
I just didn't know what to do
And he laid me on the floor
And my screams they go unheard
The lady living next door
Well she's six feet under the dirt.
Daddy, why don't you protect me?
Someone's gonna hurt me
There's nothing I can do.
Daddy, why don't you protect me?
Someone's gonna hurt me,
There's nothing I can do.
He's a dog,
But he's dressed up like a sheep,
He's got bones all through the backyard,
But he likes to fool me.
And I travel through the doorway,
I thought I'd be fine,
But it's not the way it's gonna go this time.
Daddy, why don't you protect me?
Someone's gonna hurt me,
There's nothing I can do.
Daddy, why don't you protect me?
Somebody is going to hurt me,
There's nothing I can do.
And all this time I needed you,
And all this time I wanted you,
You can't hear me now,
Can't hear me now,
Like you do.
Daddy, why don't you protect me?
Someone's gonna hurt me,
There's nothing I can do.
Daddy, why don't you protect me?
Somebody is going to hurt me,
Love comes and goes like he knows
What he wants to do
It's here then it's there, doesn't really seem to care
If I'm in or out with you
We're lovers today then it changes
It the blink of an eye
And I would stand here forever if I believed
I could ever feel the same way again in time
Where does the love go?
Where does the love go?
Where does the love go?
Where does the love go? Go, go
Love come and goes like he's got
Somewhere else he needs to be
And he rushes out the door
Before I get a chance to ask
Love, why he wants to leave
You're standing over there with my father
On the wrong side of the room
And something inside me dies
And I wish I could feel the way I used to but I don't
Where does the love go?
Where does the love go?
Where does the love go?
Where does the love go? Go, go, go
Love comes and goes
Like he's got another home away from me
Got a spare set of keys
And a house on the beach, I know, I know
Well love, he gets tired and he decides to run away
Run way, run away, run away
Leaves me standing here with your broken heart
What can I say? What can I say? But
Where does the love go?
Where does the love go?
Where does the love go?
Break apart the things you see,
And all that's in between.
Break apart things holding on,
And the people that we did wrong.
We got a lot to lose.
We got a lot to lose.
Darling, we could use
Some honesty, honestly.
Break apart the things you heard,
You can have the final word, my dear.
Break apart the things we feel,
It was always so unreal.
We got a lot to lose.
We got a lot to lose.
We got a lot to lose.
Darling, we could use
It seems like every road we walk
Catastrophe awaits us
It seems like every time we talk
Catastrophe awaits us
And I know that we're just two strangers
Looking for the some idea
Looking for the some idea
It seems like every time we touch
Catastrophe awaits us
It seems like every time we touch
Devil eyes endanger
And I know that you're just a wager
For me, to put my last pair of shoes on
And we wait for something beautiful
And we wait for something beautiful
It seems like every road we walk
Catastrophe awaits us
It seems like every time we talk
Catastrophe awaits us
You've got it all
You've got me
Don't be scared of all those horror movies
And we wait for something beautiful
And we wait for something beautiful
And we wait for something beautiful
She's got this kind of love
Why don't we let her know?
She's got this kind of hope
Why don't we let her know?
Maybe she got what she came for
Laying naked on the pine floor
Lonely we dance around the dying
Maybe she got what she came for
Lying naked on the pine floor
Lonely we dance around the dying
Maybe she got what she came for
Don't be scared I'm not here for your heart
Don't be scared I'm not here for your reasons
Don't be scared I'm just here for
The radio that plays in the background
You tell me you don't want anything
But you wanted to tell me that
You tell me you don't expect anything
But you expect from me to call you back
You tell me you don't need anyone
Well, why don't you disappear
You tell me you don't need anyone
Well, why are you standing here
I'm not gonna make a scene
I walk slowly out of the room
I'm not gonna pull out my hair
Listening to the sh*t that they're feeding you
No darling, there is nothing I can do
I tell you I don't want anyone
But I don't want you to go
I tell you I don't need the answers
But I really really want to know
Tell you I don't mind where you're going
But I wanna know where you have been
I tell you I don't mind being alone
But I wanna know who you've seen
You're not gonna make a show
You walk slowly out of my dream
You're not gonna pull out your hair
Listening to the sh*t that they're feeding me
Oh darling, there is nothing you can do
The walls are talking and the only person who can hear me is nearly gone.
I stand by your bedside, on the edge of words
That I can't say, for the fear that I might fall.
Maybe I'm afraid that the pictures that I paint,
Won't capture the beauty of you.
And the last thing that you hear is the silence in your ears,
As I sink beneath the weight of it all.
I could call you my lover, call you a beast,
Call you the island, where faith doesn't reach.
Call you a lion, call you a man,
You're the line that ties me to things.
I don't understand.
Your smile as you wither, is as pretty as the picture,
You wouldn't sell to the lady next door.
You tell me music and art, it doesn't have a price,
It's for the heart, I should give it away,
Use it for the freedom of us all.
I could call you my lover, call you a beast,
Call you the island, where faith doesn't reach.
Call you a lion, call you a man,
You're the line that ties me to things.
The story is different now, the records are playing in the living room
And you might say you're wounded, and I might say I'm hurt
But we knew the difference then between the fire and the earth
And we may say we're broken, we may say we're weak,
But we knew before we started, oh the secrets we would keep
And it's all okay, cause love will find a way to be what love is
And it's all okay, cause love will find a way to be what love is
I'll move to the country, and live inside the deepest, darkest wood
And I'll write you a letter and tell you all the things I should say to your face
And I won't send it to you, I'll send it to your mother's place
And she won't give it to you, that's how brave I'll grow here in my cave
And it's all okay, cause love will find a way to be what love is
And it's all okay, cause love will find a way to be what love is
And you'll move to the city, marry a pretty girl
And she will make you smile all the while you'll be looking for what you left behind
And she will bring you children and oh how you will love them with that heart of yours
I won't visit you, I'll know by then the kinder thing to do
Oh it's all okay, cause love will find a way to be what love is
And it's all okay, cause love will find a way to be what love is
And it's all okay, cause love will find a way to be what love is
And it's all okay, cause love will find a way to be what love is
Stand up straight at the foot of your love
I lift my shirt up
Stand up straight at the foot of your love
I lift my shirt up
I was carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees
I'll never marry but Ohio don't remember me
Lay my head on the hood of your car
I take it too far
Lay my head on the hood of your car
I take it too far
I still owe money to the money to the money I owe
I never thought about love when I thought about home
I still owe money to the money to the money I owe
The floors are falling out from everybody I know
I'm on a blood buzz
Yes I am
I'm on a blood buzz
I'm on a blood buzz
God I am
I'm on a blood buzz
I was carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees
I'll never marry but Ohio don't remember me
I still owe money to the money to the money I owe
I never thought about love when I thought about home
I still owe money to the money to the money I owe
The floors are falling out from everybody I know
I'm on a blood buzz
Yes I am
I'm on a blood buzz
I'm on a blood buzz
God I am
An expected light
Why can't I love you?
An unexpected delight
Why can't I love you?
When I'm in your arms
The world is beautiful
When I'm in your arms
I am beautiful
What's wrong with me?
There is love all around
What's wrong with me?
I keep on letting you down
When I'm in your arms
I am beautiful
What's wrong with me?
There is love all around
What's wrong with me?
I keep on letting you down
An unexpected light
Shines his way across the sea
Just so I don't feel all alone
An unexpected light he chose me
Open the window and IÂ'm free
Open the window and IÂ'm free at all
Open the window we gonna see
Open the window we gonna see at all
With the light, we will find
Open the window and IÂ'm free
Open the window we gonna see at all
With the light, we will find
With the light, they will find
With the light, they will find
Love you tenderly, love you sweet.
That's what I'll do, that's what I'll do.
Love you when you need me,
Love you when you leave me in the blue.
Clouds will cover your eyes, you'll tell me lies
But I won't leave you.
Clouds will cover my eyes, I'll try to hide,
But I won't leave you.
Cause you'll always be my baby,
My baby.
You'll always be my baby,
My baby, my baby.
Love you when you hate me,
Love you when you made me feel alone, in the daytime.
Love you when you leave me,
Love you when you need me.
You leave me behind.
Clouds will cover your eyes, you'll tell me lies,
But I won't leave you
Clouds will cover my eyes, I'll try to hide
But I won't leave you
Cause you'll always be my baby,
My baby, my baby.
You'll always be my baby,
My baby, my baby.
You'll always be my baby,
You'll always be my baby.
You'll always be my baby,
There where lights inside this dream
Someone came here and turned them out on me
Now it's dark and I can't see
There's always someone with something they need
And I give myself away
And the takers always take
And they wear my skin
Like a cape and fly around
With nothing to say
I crawled inside this room
Looking for somewhere to heal this wounds
There's knocking at the door
There's always someone asking for more
And the takers take what they take
And they wear my skin
Like a cape and fly around
With nothing to say
I burn myself inside, I found nowhere else to hide
But the burning caught
Their eyes and they warm themselves
Around this dying fire
And I give myself away
And the takers always take
And I tried to walk away
The horse with the wings never turned up for the party
And I wonder how long 'til he comes looking for me
So I wait in the room by the river and I watch the world go by
And I hear a girl cry and I notice the sound it comes from my own mouth
And I hear your words. "What have I done now?"
I look to the floor and you look to the hallway
And you say, "I'm sorry for whatever it is and I feel myself groan
'Cause I know I've lived a life with you here for years now
And the scratching of the metal as you're putting on the kettle
Makes my skin crawl and I feel small"
The birds slip through the cracks in the glass
And there's blood on the floor
When will this day break?
When will my heart ache?
When will this day break?
When will I find my place?
Don't talk to me like I'm a shell you found
Don't talk to me like I'm a shell you found
On the beach and you put to your ear to hear how
Clear I sound, you say, "Sing me a song"
Like I've nothing better to do than sing songs for you
You hang me on the wall so I'm taller than before
And I feel like I might fall but I don't
I hang there quietly watching the life we lead
Like it's a prize I could never win, a sea I could never swim
When will this day break?
When will my heart ache?
When will this day break?
I wanna go.gotta go to face where we are

Tell me a lie, I'm used to it
Tell me a lie, I'm used to it
Tell me to my face
Tell me to my face
Tell me where's my place
Tell me where's my place
Tell her a story, she's used to it
Tell her a story, she's used to it
But tell her to her face

But tell him to his face

I was so high I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye as she got on a plane
Never to return again
But always in my heart, oh!
This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
And I have no choice
'Cause I won't say goodbye anymore
I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied, oh!
Kept playing love like it was just a game
Pretending to feel the same
Then turn around and leave again
This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
And I have no choice
'Cause I won't say goodbye anymore
I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything's alright
(It's alright, it's alright)
My pressure on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
Into every inch of you
Because I know that's what you want me to do
This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
Her heart is breaking in front of me
And I have no choice
'Cause I won't say goodbye anymore
This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And my heart is breaking in front of me
And she said goodbye too many times before
This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
Her heart is breaking in front of me
And I have no choice
Living in this room, but I don't really want to.
Living in this home, but I don't really want to.
Live inside a dream, but we're all on the same team.
We would all agree there's things we don't know.
Put me in a corner and I won't make a sound.
After you both lose your heads, I'll be what you found.
While you fight it out, I'll be quiet like a clown.
I'll build my world around the things I don't know.
I'm here, I'm not here.
There's nothing that I know for sure.
You're here, you're not here.
How long can this all go on for?
Oh, I don't know.
Wrap me up in blankets and push me down the stairs.
Leave me in the burning house and tell me how much you care.
I live inside a world, where words won't carry heard
And I will try to learn the things I don't know.
I'm here, I'm not here.
There's nothing that I know for sure.
You're here, you're not here.
How long can this all go on for?
Live inside a dream, but we're all on the same team.
We will all agree there's things we don't know.
Live inside a dream, but we're all trying to reach
We're all trying to see those things we don't know.
I'm here, I'm not here.
There's nothing that I know for sure.
You're here, you're not here.
How long can this all go on for?
I'm here, I'm not here.
There's nothing that I know for sure.
You're here, you're not here.
How long can this all go on for?
I learned my lesson, nobody is to blame.
Except for you.
I learned my lesson, we're all trying to hide.
Doing the best we can, in order to survive.
But some of us keep it simple,
And some of us will deceive.
We tell half of the story, so we can take the things we need.
And some of our efforts are colorful.
And some people they lose.
And some people live in the shadows,
So they never have to choose.
You spread your darkness, like a disease.
Then you offer your body, as the only remedy.
I believe in love.
I believe in love.
No, darling, you can't take that away from me.
I believe in love.
I believe in love.
No, darling, you can't take that away from me.
You had me by the throat.
You had me by the horns.
You had me in the same bed,
While it was still warm.
My hair was still on the pillow.
My clothes were still on the floor.
You didn't care, no darling, the hungry always want more.
Oh, my hair was still on the pillow.
My music was still in the air,
You didn't care to tell her why I had been there.
And you knew that she was scared.
But you took her anyway.
You told her she was everything, then you had your way.
And she told you that she loved you.
And you told her you were tired.
Oh, the things we say,
Once we've got what we desired.
I believe in love.
I believe in love.
No, darling, you can't take that away from me.
I believe in love.
I believe in love.
No, darling, you can't take that away from me.
I believe in love.
I believe in love.
No, darling, you can't take that away from me.
I learned my lesson, nobody is to blame.
Take me home
To the place where I'm from
Oh darling, you'll understand
When you come with me
Take me there
Where the desert meets the sea
And all the things we are
Are made for loving
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
To the place where I'm from
Oh under the (?)
We will go
Take me there
Where the desert children run
Oh darling, you'll understand
When you come along
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
To the place where I'm from
Oh darling, you'll understand
Well, the river came to me, and it washed us all away.
Someone is chasing me and noted where I used to stay.
And I feel as I've been here many times before.
As I kneel and I pick up the pieces on the floor.
And you ask me in a voice, that is quiet, that is
strong:
"Tell me of a place where the living don't belong."
I remember falling to the other side.
I remember leaving my body behind.
But the river pulled me away,
Before I got a chance to say what I say.
And under the jacket I did lay.
And the Christmas lights, they come from nowhere.
I had visions often of rivers,
No, I didn't know their names.
I had visions, notwithstanding in the heart of it all.
And you ask me to tell you:
"Oh, what people might we become?"
Tell me of the dying we have done.
But the river pulled me away,
Before I got a chance to say what I say.
And under the jacket I did lay.
And the Christmas lights, they came from nowhere.
Oh, and under the river I stay.
I won't get the chance to say what I say.
Under the jacket, I will lay.
And the Christmas lights, they come from nowhere.
And the Christmas lights, they come from nowhere.
I'm standing on my mother
In pale shades of green
Renegades
Castaways
Mortal sympathies
Abraham the angels
Sultry company
Painting sailors
Flowing over me
Sweet long corruption
Rays of bloody industry
Ghost days
Bride of christ beneath my feet
Smile as the day begins
Wake up little one
Wipe the sleep from your head
Come and see the sun
Sweet long corruption
Rays of bloody industry
Ghost days
Oh it's another friday night
She prays he doesn't start a fight
But she knows her prayers in vain
Because her love is not the same
The fight it starts it's his excuse
Just to set him on the loose
He could never love his wife
He's at the tavern half his life
Cause he loves lorraine
His talk it hurts the one he loves
But still he thinks that he's above
So all the while he stays the same
In loneliness he calls her name
Nakedness unrealized dreams
An empty home it always seems
He wraps his heart in the white lines
And leave his dark hair girl behind
Cause he loves lorraine
His paycheck gone in just two days
He will not stop his evil ways
There won't be supper on this night
He laid down his lines of white
Cause he loves lorraine
New morning
Dark skies
Endless canyons
That once were your eyes
You're such a sad one
Yeah I'm movin on
Somewhere beautiful
Where nothing goes wrong
I guess you wonder
If I'll call
Will you hear me
When your skin crawls
You're such a sad one
Yeah I'm movin on
Somewhere beautiful
Where nothing goes wrong
In heaven in the arms of the one
Saphire shadows
I guess that it's done
You're such a sad one
Yeah I'm movin on
Somewhere beautiful
Where nothing goes wrong
So beautiful
Somewhere beautiful
Things I prayed for when I was young
That my father would love me like his only son
That my mother would be patient with me
And my sister would not leave
And if my grandpa could see me beyond his grave
That he'd think his little man was so great
That my hair would not stick up in weird places
And I'd be someone someday
Years go by so easily that sometimes I forget
Years go by and make me see that there's no time for my regret
No time for my regret
Things I prayed for in my teens
That God would forgive all my evil deeds
That my father and my sister would come home
And mom could meet our needs
And if my grandpa could see me beyond his grave
That he'd say a prayer for his family's sake
That my hair would stick up in weird places
And I'd be someone someday
Years go by so easily that sometimes I forget
Years go by and make me see that there's no time for my regret
No time for my regret
Things I pray for now in my twenties
That God would still love me
That my dad would like his new family
That I could hug my sister, that my mom could rest
That my wife would still melt every time we kissed
And if my grandpa has seen me beyond his grave
How cold and silent he has remained
That my hair would not fall out in weird places
And I'd be someone someday
Years go by so easily that sometimes I forget
Years go by and make me see that there's no time for my regret
No time for my regret
These are the things I prayed for
