The leaves are falling, it's in your nature
I'm counting all the sticks left on the ground
Early this morning, when I tried to wake ya
You wasn't making any kind of sound
Why can't you hear me?
Why can't you feel me?
Was there a message that I'm not getting
Do you think that I am lost or am I found?
Just after midnight when I woke up sweating
I was dreaming you were right here with me now
Oh
Why can't you hear me
Why don't you heal me
I am lost
I am lost here
I'm lost here now
So I am nothing if I'm not with you
In the morning, we'll forget this night somehow

(x)

I was walking home alone
Late the other night
I couldn't see a single star in the sky
Oh, they must be too high
Shadows dance around me in the dark
Don't stop
This could be the longest day
And the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
There's nowhere left to run
This could be the longest day
And the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
I've nowhere left to run
Was eleven years to change what had been lost
One single shot was fired at what a cost
Oh, at what a cost
This could be the longest day
And the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
There's nowhere left to run
This could be the longest day
And the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
I've nowhere left to run
I wanna run
I better run now
Run
As far as I can
This could be the longest day
And the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
I've nowhere left to run
This could be the longest day
And the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
I've nowhere left to run
I wanna run
I better run now
Run
As far as I can

(x)

I can feel the presence of God
Occupying my intentions
In my soul, within my thoughts
And in ways too dreary to mention
These thoughts torment me
They mold and shape me
There's a man that I should be
Or someone I could be
Nothing can break me
Nothing that I see
You can't shake me
You can't take me
So set me free
I can feel the presence of God
In need of my attention
In this room and in your words
In too many ways to mention
These thoughts torment me
They mold and shape me
There's a man that I should be
Or someone I could be
Nothing can break me
Nothing that I see
You can't shake me
You can't take me
So set me free
I can feel the presence of love
Holding my attention
She torments me
Creates and shapes me
There's a man that I should be
Or someone I could be
Nothing can break me
Nothing that I see
You can't shake me
You can't take me
So set me free

(x)

You came to me with open arms
To take away my fears
I took you in and you stayed a while
You lived with me right here
You told me to believe in something
Something that's true
Like the mountains and the deep blue ocean
So much bigger than you
You said, Just try
Come on, just try
Lord, just try
Just try
Just try
I offered you a place to stay
Somewhere to rest your head
Lord knows I need you here
There was something you said
You'll have to believe in something
Something bigger than you
Like the great wide open spaces
There's religions too
You said, Just try
Come on, just try
Lord, just try
Just try
Just try
You gave me more than I deserve
You gave me peace
You gave me everything I love in this world
And now I have to sleep
Just let me sleep
Just try
Just try
I have to sleep
Just try
Just try

(x)

I watched you rising
I watched you sleep
I knew you were just like me
Intoxicated
Oh struggling to breathe
I heard you whimpering
In the back room
Gone too far
Too far too soon
I guess it's your time here
That time for you
When it all comes crashing down on you
Yes, I've been praying
Oh, so what else am I supposed to do?
I heard you whispering
In the back room
You've gone too far, too far too soon
You made that mistake now
They were coming for you
You've gone too far
Too far too soon
Now you feel nothing
Life can be cruel
That night I saw you
You passed by my room
I hope you make peace with the man in the moon

(x)

(x)

The first time you gave me freedom
For the first time I felt free
As long as you were right with me here
There's nothing else that I would need
You take me back there
Take me back home, please
No, I can't go in there
Just take me back home (home), home (home)
Is where I wanna be
I was a fool before I met you
Only fools find it hard to believe
You just might be my only savior
If you are
Then come and save me
If that's true
Come back and save me
You take me back there
Take me back home, please
No, I can't go in there
Just take me back home (home), home (home)
Is where I wanna be
Where all my stumbling misses
And all your wonderful kisses
That's where I want to be
That's just me
You take me back there
Take me back home, please
No, I can't go in there
Just take me back home (home), home (home)
Is where I wanna be
Home (home), home (home)
Is where I wanna be now
Home (home), home (home)
Is where I wanna be
Home (home), home (home)
Is where I wanna be now
Home (home), home (home)
Is where I wanna be
Home (home), home (home)
Is where I wanna be now

(x)

There's no tomorrow
Only yesterday
I may have drunk too much
Now I'll have to pay
So how far should I go
Oh that's hard to say
Wild is the sky
That covers you
Long be the night
That comforts you
Dark is the day confronting you
And pushing you
There's a face in the mirror
That I don't understand
See the one that I wear is not who I am
I made up my mind
And I want to stay
Wild is the sky
That covers you
Long be the night
That comforts you
Dark is the day confronting you
And pushing you
You're such a bitter man
Doing all that you can
In the name of fun
Just a bitter man
Taking all that you can
All for number one
There's no confusion
Only black
No questions left to ask
Like, am I coming back?
I made up my mind
And I want to stay
You're such a bitter man
Doing all that you can
In the name of fun
Just a bitter man
Taking all that you can
For the number one
You're such a bitter man
Doing all that you can
All in the name of fun
Just a bitter man
Taking all that you can
All for number one

(x)

Even as you talk
I can't understand a word
Lips they keep on moving
Telling tired tales
That have all been heard
So many precious days
And all the parts you've played
You've looked so fine
All those days have gone
You tried to get along
But not all
Not all the time
I can't stay
With you in here anymore
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much for sure
I can't stay
Another day in here with you
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much for sure
Spend your days complaining
Doubt puts only in your head
Turning every page in your book of everything
You should have done instead
So many wasted days
And all the parts you've played
It's the same old song
Well I guess it's up to you
I wonder what you'll do
Don't take, don't take too long
I can't stay
With you in here anymore
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much is true
I can't stay
For another day in here with you
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much is true
I can't stay
With you in here anymore
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much for sure
I can't stay
For another day in here with you
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much for sure
I can't stay
With you in here anymore
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much is true
I can't stay
For another day in here with you
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much for sure
I know that much for sure

(x)

Take, take all you can
From the life you've been given
And stop making plans
This world is all that you need
You just have to notice
Remember to breathe
There's a price that you pay
With the games that you play with that devil
And you better be sure when you walk through that door before you meddle
Life is so short and you're going to get caught being bought
And the choices you make and the demons you wake must be fought
Take, take all you can
From the life you've been given
And stop making plans
There's a price that you pay
With the games you play with that devil
And you better be sure when you walk through that door before you meddle
The life is so short and you're going to get caught being bought
And the choices you make and the demons you wake must be fought

(x)

When you're looking for salvation
Better take some time to get your story straight
Are you sure you're ready for forgiveness
You might have left it kind of late
Tonight
No it's never too late
Tonight
No it's never too late
When you're looking for salvation
In another person's life
You better get yourself a witness
You might consider a wife
Tonight, tonight
So listen to what I'm saying
Don't be listening to their fear
You gotta jump into the water sometimes
You gotta risk it all, my dear, my dear
Seems I might be heading for some trouble
You keep listening to their lies
I know you have that nagging sickness sometimes
We can change it all tonight
Tonight, tonight


(x)

Light, there's light here
And it shines on you
It shines, yeah it shines down
It shines on you
When you look around, it's so profound, what we can do
You and me, all of us, here, we're coming through
We're coming through
We're gonna shine on you
Light, there's light here
And it shines on you
It shines, yeah it shines down
It shines on you
Anyone can see, there's destiny for me and you
Our Lord above shines down his love, it shines on you
It shines on you
Let it shine on you
Light, there's light here
And it shines on you
It shines, yeah it shines down
It shines on you
It shines on you
Let it shine on you

(x)

I'm back where I came from, what a sight for sore eyes
A sour reminder of how hard I've tried
I'm under your spell, I'm holding so tight
I feel cold and disheveled, I'm as blue as your eyes
When lights go up, a hand comes down
You know, you owe me
You know, you owe me
You've come to the end, the end of the road
Exceeding the limit, as far as you can go
There's no room here, ain't nowhere left to hide
No particular reason, just foolish pride
When lights go up, a hand comes down
You know, you owe me
You know, you owe me
You gave me hope, all that I can be
Easy to hold, but so hard to please
So hard, hard, hard, hard
(You know, you owe me)
When lights go up, a hand comes down (You know)
Angels are singing, it's a beautiful sound (You owe me)
When lights go up, a hand comes down (You know)
Bells are ringing, it's a beautiful sound (You owe me)
You know, you owe me

(x)

Tempted, always vacant
I've been down before, I need replacement
Who knows, just where the end is
Who cares what you're defending
I can't see what you want from me
I can't be, no, what you want me to be
Angel
Descending, she's never faking
You can see her eyes, there's no mistaking
She knows where the end is
She says, "Just stop pretending"
I can't see what you want from me
I can't be, no, what you want me to be, no
Angel of mine
Angel
She said, "I'm not bothered, and you're the same
I'm done with love, and you're to blame"
Sit down, why don't you listen
Have an open heart, hold your position
Hold
Hold

(x)

Sing your song, sing out for me
Give it everything you've got
Just one more time for me
Move in from the dark
I'm all of this and nothing
I'm the dirt beneath your feet
I'm the sun that rises while you're sleeping
I'm all you need
River's wide, too wide to see
There's a storm outside my window
Moving close to me
Move in from the dark
I'm all of this and nothing
I'm the dirt beneath your feet
I'm the sun that rises while you're sleeping
I'm all you need
Black water high, too high to breathe
There's a ghost outside my window
Haunting me
Move in from the dark
Move in from the dark
I'm all of this and nothing (move in from the dark)
I'm the dirt beneath your feet (move in from the dark)
I'm the sun that rises while you're sleeping
(move in from the dark)
I'm all you need
Move in from the dark
I'm all of this and nothing (move in from the dark)
I'm the dirt beneath your feet (move in from the dark)
I'm the sun that rises while you're sleeping
(move in from the dark)
I'm all you need (move in from the dark)
Move in from the dark
Move in from the dark
Move in from the dark

(x)

Ain't it something, when she walks into the room
With a light that's almost way too much for me
Ain't it something, when waves crash on the shore
The ocean's wilder than before
It's a different world today
No one seems to care much anyway
Don't listen to what they say
They don't know what they're fighting for
And there's always life on Mars out there for me
You just need one thing
Love
Ain't it something, when you stare up to the stars
And you wonder how we could have come this far
Don't say nothing, just lay down next to me
We can watch those tasteless shows on our TV
It's a different world today
No one seems to care much anyway
Don't listen to what they say
They don't know what they're fighting for
You just need one thing
You just need one thing
Love
There's always one thing, that takes me far away
Then I don't hear a single word you say
There's always something, that makes me want to stay
There's really nothing more to say
You just need one thing
Love
You just need one thing
Love

(x)

I found you in that howling basement, lying on the floor
You could feel the time come knocking, knocking at your door
Yeah, he'll give you something, and you'll be begging for more
You're on a crooked road to nowhere, oh honey that's for sure
Ah, it's the same old feeling, you don't have to lie
Yeah, it don't mean nothing, I'm gonna tell you why
Don't cry now, don't cry
Don't you cry girl, it'll be alright
Oh, come on get up from down there, there's dirt on that floor
He's got you in the palm of his hand now,
Like all those times before
You're so lost in your kingdom, your kingdom of fear
Yeah, there's no one out there, no one's gonna appear
Ah, it's the same old feeling, you don't have to lie
Yeah, it don't mean nothing, I'm gonna tell you why
Don't cry now, don't cry
Don't you cry girl, it'll be alright
Remember when I found you praying,
You were down on your knees
Looking for communication, to put your mind at ease
You've got to reach out to someone, I know you'll try
You know I love you more than life itself, I just can't tell you why
Ah, it's the same old feeling, you don't have to lie
Yeah, it don't mean nothing, I'm gonna tell you why
Don't cry now, don't cry
Don't you cry girl, it'll be alright
Don't cry now, don't cry
Don't you cry girl, it'll be alright

(x)

Lately, I don't hear so much
My mind just keeps on racing all the time
Lately, I don't see so well
My conscience is beginning to unwind
Sail with me, we can fly away
Let's stay together, leave this all behind
Sail with me, let's go all the way
Just give me one more chance, don't say goodbye
Lately, I don't feel you here
There's an emptiness inside that's all too much
Lately, I don't have the time
My patience is beginning to run dry
Sail with me, we can hide away
Let's stay together, leave this world behind
Sail with me, let's go all the way
Just give me one more chance, don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
Lately, I don't care so much
I find myself just staring at the floor
Lately, I can't feel your touch
I'm cold and empty like I was before
Sail with me
Sail with me

(x)

One hand in my pocket
One foot in the grave
Standing here, waiting to be saved
This will be the last time
Scratching my patience away
Oh no, oh no
Just take your time now, take it slow
Oh no, oh no
Take your time here, take it slow
Have you ever followed Jesus
He lives downtown LA
He's coming. He'll be here
It's where He prays
This will be my last time
Scratching and tapping my troubles away
Oh no, oh no
Just take your time now, take it slow
Oh no, oh no
Take your time here, take it slow
This will be my last time, I'll just say goodbye
Time, you know, will just pass you by
This will be my last time

(x)

In the warm sun
In the arms of the devil
I've paid my debt
There's a promise here to settle
I feel your sorrow, I feel your pain
Behind the darkest clouds the sun always shines again
I feel your sorrow, I feel your pain
Behind the darkest clouds the sun always shines again
My sun
I want more
That's more than you can imagine
It's no way to live
That's always bound to happen
I'll never get old
Not older than you
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I'm nothing without you
I feel your sorrow, I feel your pain
Behind the darkest clouds the sun always shines again
I feel your sorrow, I feel your pain
Behind the darkest clouds the sun always shines again
My sun
That's the glory, deep in my soul
Inside screaming the devil's taken hold
Through the sound of a passing train
I hear you calling, calling out my name
Calling out my name
Calling out my name
(x)

At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong

You and me
At the dark end of the street
You and me

I know that time is gonna take its toll
We have to pay for the love we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
Oh, our love keeps coming on strong

Steal away
To the dark end of the street

They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
Oh, someday

You and me
At the dark end of the street
You and me

And when the daylight hour rolls 'round
And by chance we're both downtown
If we should meet, just walk on by
Oh darling, please, don't cry

Tonight we'll meet
At the dark end of the street

(x)

Can you stay here next to me?
We'll just keep drivin'
Because of you I see a light
The Buick's a Century, a '73 like you
Some strange religion

I get my hands on some money of my own
And I shot it away
Stared down the past and just scarred my eyes
Now I know there's no easy ride
She's been the kind who would take it in stride

Some jack of diamonds kicked her heart around
Did they know they were walking on holy ground?
Almost called it a day so many times
Didn't know what it felt like to be alive
Till you been a friend to me like nobody else could be, mmm

Keep my hands on the wheel now, mama
Gonna honestly try
She looked past the scars and the burned out eyes
You could see I'm no easy ride
She's just the kind who might get you to buy
Some strange religion

This jack of diamonds kicked her heart around
Shoulda known they were walking on holy ground
This life might eventually just be the end of me
Will I still be with you?

I said, get in next to me, just keep driving
'Cause of you, I been alive
And this Buick's a Century, '73 like you
Some strange religion
The Buick's a Century, '73 like you
Some strange religion

(x)

I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree

I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be

When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more than I'd ought to drink
Because it brings me back you

Lilac wine is sweet and heady
Like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
Like my love

Listen to me, I cannot see clearly
Isn't that she, coming to me
Nearly here

Lilac wine is sweet and heady
Where's my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
Where's my love

Listen to me, why is everything so hazy
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear

Lilac wine, I feel unready for my love
Feel unready, for my love

(x)

(x)

My life is changin' in so many ways
I don't know who to trust anymore
There's a shadow runnin' through my days
Like a beggar goin' from door to door

I was thinking that maybe I'd get a maid
Find a place nearby for her to stay
Just someone to keep my house clean
Fix my meals and go away

A maid, a man needs a maid
A maid

It's hard to make that change
When life and love turns strange and old
To give a love, you've got to live a love
To live a love, you've got to be part of
When will I see you again?

A while ago somewhere, I don't know when
I was watchin' a movie with a friend
I fell in love with the actress
She was playin' a part that I could understand

A maid, a man needs a maid
A maid, a man needs a maid

When will I see you again?

(x)

Losing the stars without a sky
Losing the reasons why
You're losing the calling that you've been faking
Yeah, I'm not kidding

It's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do
Be true, 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad, sad zoo
Oh, hidy-hidy-hiding, whatcha trying to prove?
Hidy-hide
You're not worth a thing

Sew your fortunes on a string
Blue smoke will take a very violent flight
You will be changed and everything
And you will be in a very sad, sad zoo

I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see you
How selfish of you
To believe in all the meaning, all, all the bad dreaming all

Metal heart, you're not hiding
Metal heart, you're not worth a thing
Metal heart, you're not hiding
Metal heart, you're not worth a thing

You're not worth a thing
You're not worth a thing
You're not worth a thing
You're not worth a thing

Tell me what you feel
Tell me what you feel
Tell me what you feel
You don't know how you feel

(x)

Well, so long, baby
I've had enough
I can't ignore it
I miss you so much
I miss you so much
I miss you so much

I'm standing in a suit
As ragged as my nerves
And I agree what I've become
Is surely worth the hatred
That you spat on me
The sky above me
The night so deep
That I could trip and drown
And still I see that you would dearly love
To shut me down

Well, so long, soldier
We're deep in dutch
I can't ignore it
I miss you so much
I miss you so much
I miss you so much

I'm standing in a suit
As ragged as my nerves
And I agree what I've become
Is surely worth the hatred
That you spat on me
The sky above me
The night so deep
That I could trip and drown
And still I see that you would dearly love
To shut me down

I miss you so much
I miss you so much
I miss you so much

(x)

Where my love lies asleep
There's no chains to her spirit
As she enters the doorway
Of dreams drifting free

Lightning's flash, rivers roar
Round the island she's sleeping
And the echoes soul
That speaks where she's sleeping

Where my love lies asleep
There's no past nor tomorrow
Only treasures to keep
There's no fears there to borrow

Through the hallways of wonder
Down the steps of the deep
And the secrets that drum
Where my love lies asleep

Past the suns in the morning
Past the stars in their sleep
And the worlds that are near
Where my love lies asleep
Where my love lies asleep

Where my love lies asleep

(x)

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

(x)

Oh love, you were a sickly child
And how the wind knocked you down
Put on your spurs, swagger around

In the desperate kingdom of love

Holy water cannot help you now
Your mysterious eyes cannot help you
Selling your reason will not bring you through

The desperate kingdom of love

There's another who looks
From behind your eyes
I learn from you how to hide

From the desperate kingdom of love
At the end of this burning world

You stand proud, face upheld
I follow you, into Heaven or Hell
I'll become as a boy

In the desperate kingdom of love

(x)

Shadows are fallin'
And I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep
And time is runnin' away

Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't let me heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there

Well, my sense of humanity
Has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing
There's been some kind of pain

She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writin' what was in her mind
I just don't see why I should even care
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there

Well, I've been to London
And I been to gay Paris
I've followed the river
And I got to the sea

I've been down to the bottom of the world full of lies
I ain't lookin' for nothin' in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there

I was born here and I'll die here
Against my will
I know it looks like I'm movin'
But I'm standin' still

Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there

(x)

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
(You were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine

If I make you feel second best
Girl, I'm sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
(You were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind

Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
Satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
(You were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind
(You were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind
