Love spreads her arms - waits there for the nails
I forgive you boy, I will prevail
Too much to take, some cross to bear
I'm hiding in the trees with a picnic, she's over there
Yeah yeah yeah
She didn't scream, she didn't make a sound
I forgive you boy, but don't leave town
Coal black skin, naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lightning, they're hurting her again
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister, ain't no king man, she's my queen
I have a dream, I've seen the light
Don't put it out, cause she's alright, yeah, she's my sister
She didn't scream, she didn't make a sound
I forgive you boy, but don't leave town
Cold black skin, naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lightning, they're hurting her again
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister, ain't no king man, she's my queen
I have a dream, I've seen the light
Don't put it out, cause she's alright, yeah, she's my sister

Once upon a time, my advice to you would have been go out and find yourself a whore
But I guess I've grown up, because I don't give that kind of advice anymore....
I was 27 when I figured out that blowing my brains out wasn't the answer
So I decided, maybe I should find a way to make this world work out for me
And my good friend Paul was 83 when he told me; that ...
"To love is to feel pain"......
And I thought about that then and I've thought about that again and again
"To love is to feel pain" .... there ain't no way around it
The very nature of love is to grieve when it is over
The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits
Better roll them now before something else goes wrong...
Know it's a wonderful world, if you can put aside the sadness
And hang on to every ounce of beauty upon you...
Better take the time to know it, If you feel anything at all...
So if what you have is working for you, or you think that it stands a reasonable chance,
and whatever's broken seems fixable and nothing's beyond repair
if you still think about each other and smile before you remember ...
how screwed up it's gotten or maybe still dream of a time less rotten
Remember, it ain't too late to take a deep breath
and throw yourself into it with everything you've got
It's great to be alive
Gonna be a world of hurt
Gonna be a world of hurt
Gonna be a world of hurt ....
I remember I was barely four
When mama told me "Daddy's gone:.died in the war
He won't be home again"
I never knew him, a picture's all I had
Mama raised me all by herself through good and bad
Somehow she bore the pain
She's the one who believed in me
Always knew when to let me be
Showed me how to keep wrong from right
She was there for me day and night.
I know just what I am and I'm no shining knight
But I believe I'm a better man for the women in my life
I have a daughter, she's an only child
Like her father, she can get a little wild
Nobody holds her chained
Her mother raised her and bore the load,
And often told her "Daddy's gone out on the road
But he'll be home again"
But for the time that I wasn't there
When she needed a father's care
I can't turn back the hands of time
But let her know that I'm proud she's mine.
I know just what I am and I'm no shining knight
But I believe I'm a better man for the women in my life.
Of all the women in my life, the one that's closest to me
Is my companion, my confidant, my true and trusted friend
Her steady hand, her sparkling eyes were there to help me see
Right from the start, we traded hearts
So it shall be till the end
Mother, you gave the world to me
Daughter, you are a joy to see
Woman, you've been my constant wife
You are my passion, love of my life.
I know just what I am and I'm no shining knight
But I believe I'm a better man for the women in my life.
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world ...
So he dropped the webs of the spider of heaven down through the clouds,
All the way into the pool of blood at the bottom of hell
Far above in heaven a bird flys through the terrible cloud of unknowing
Trust can make a man into a wood, trust can make a man green
an Everything-that-longs-to-Be
Broken and small enough to see
To be held in his hands
To be a part and yet alone
Here he is, reaching for...the speed of light
Here he is, reaching for...the sound of forgiveness
Now wounding 'round the waterfront she listens for a voice
A sign of Mother God, a sign of God the lad
I long to enter you with gentleness and compassion
But sorrow is always an open door
I know many days go by and I forget to look up at the stars
I forget there are stars, I forget there is the rest
Thin threads of light follow you around
Through the pale blue, down your skin
Down your skin
I had a dream
I know it seems so absurd
We all live in a house on a hill
Nobody has to say a word
I wake up
It's the middle of the night
The room is opening with love
I try to hold on to this golden light
But I fall hard from above
I don't do it for money
I don't do it for God
I'm back on the street because
It takes you there
Takes you there
It takes you there
Takes you there...
Takes you there
Takes you there
Takes you there
Takes you there
Sun is rising on the water
Light is dancing again
Let's go under where the sun beams
Let's go under my friend
Are we sleeping
Are we dreaming
Are we dancing again
Is it heaven
Crack it open
And we'll slide down
Its stream
We can hold on (I'm sure)
To the sea's foaming mane
It will serve us
We'll surface
And we'll plunge back again
Sun is rising on the water
Light is dancing like a flame
There's no burning where the sun beams
Oh it's such a lovely game
Does the sea dream (I'm sure)
We are here, we attend
We are bells on the shore
Where the tolling suspends
Who will decide the shape of things?
The shift of being
Who will perceive
When life is new
Shall we divide and become another
Who is due for gift upon gift
Who will decide
Shall we swim over and over
The curve of a wing
Its destination ever changing
Sun is rising on the water
Light is dancing like a flame
Let's go waltzing on the water
Let's go under again
Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.
Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.
Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.
I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley blow,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.
The apples of the valley hold, The seeds of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.
The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.
Oh war is the common cry, Pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.
Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.
The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on.
Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.
Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.
At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.
She'll let you in her house
If you come knockin' late at night
She'll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides
She'll let you in her car
To go drivin' 'round
She'll let you into the parts of herself
That'll bring you down
She'll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice
You've gone a million miles
How far'd you get
To that place where you can't remember
And you can't forget
She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
Then she'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now ...
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life ...
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight ...
I don't know why I'm so afraid of you
You're so easier to talk to
And I can see my mother's arms
Reaching down to console me
She's singing don't worry,
being let down is easy
Once I thought I saw you
in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light
from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam
I know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes
turning once to fire.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
I am just a dreamer,
but you are just a dream,
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
You are just a dreamer,
and I am just a dream.
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
To you I'm just a memory
Something lost among the leaves
Something found along the way
And so begin these empty pages
At the end of a dream
Watch it slowly fade away
The slight of hand the bait and switch
All the parlor tricks have been played on me
I've seen them come and watched them go
Into the night down a road of stone
Beware, oh take care
I guess it takes a thief to know one
And liars live for broken things
Traitors just smile and smile
The actor has his black mirror
The poet a poison throne
To rule his kingdom alone
But I'm still singing the blues
Dancing that old soft shoe
I'm still drift'n from cloud to cloud
Never looking to come down
From hell to high water
Over that angel bridge
Out into the wilderness
Star crossed lonely sailor
You been out to sea too long
There’s no love to save you
When your weather has gone wrong
So you set a course for nothingness
From back from where you came
Where sirens sing a song of love
To remind you of your pain
We all have storms on our horizon
And we all feel the sun
When it begins rising
And we all follow love
Even when it misguides us
But we can’t see the light from here
Silent lighthouse keeper
With your fire burning bright
Ever constant vigil for lost mariners in the night
In the solitude of misty moods
You talk only to the waves
Who lend an ear while you disappear
Into the dark from which you came
We all have storms on our horizon
And we all feel the sun
When it begins rising
And we all follow love
Even when it misguides us
But we can’t see the light from here
Tearful grey eyed captain
Blows his lonely horn
His albatross above him
While his crew sleeps safe and warm
Set adrift through murky black
Where the moon is out to play
Where only those pure of heart can find their way today
We all have storms on our horizon
And we all feel the sun
When it begins rising
And we all follow love
Even when it misguides us
But we can’t see the light from here
You say I seem so grim. Darling do you forgive me
I went out on a limb 'cause I needed to be
Near the fireflies flying high above me
Then I hit the sky and it fell down on me
You said it wasn't sharp but I cut my finger
You said it just wouldn't burn and I scarred my face
You know I bite my nails, my skin and my fingers
And I've heard that's my liver, my nerves and my brain
I said I just like to bite on my fucking fingers
Do you have another intelligent answer for me today
You said it wasn't sharp but I cut my finger
You said it just wouldn't burn and I scarred my face
You said it just wasn't there when it fell down on me
Well I'm just a son of a bitch no matter what you say
I lost my trust in you
You were dangerous and scary
And you poisoned me with the fruits everyone was intrigued by
And I finally got buried
You said I won't forget and I don't remember and
You said I'm something I'm not and I fell on my face
You said I wouldn't rot but worms are crawling on me
I'm just a son of a bitch no matter what you say
I'm just a son of a bitch no matter what you say
I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, Mm, yeah
But I had to kill her
I had to put her six feet under
And I can still hear her complain
I used to love her, Oo, yeah
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, Oo, yeah
But I had to kill her
I knew I'd miss her
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my backyard
Oh yeah, Oo yeah, whoa, oh yeah
I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, Mm, yeah
But I had to kill her
She bitched so much, She drove me nuts
And now I'm happier this way, yeah
Whoa, oh yeah
I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, Mm, yeah
But I had to kill her
I had to put her, Oo, six feet under
And I can still hear her complain
It brings a tear,
Into my eyes,
When I begin,
To realize,
I've cried so much,
Since you've been gone,
I guess I'm drowning in my own tears,
I sit and cry,
Just like a child
My pouring tears
Are runnin' wild
If you don't think
You'll be home soon
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
I know it's true
Into each life
Some rain, rain must pour
I'm so blue
Here without you
It keeps raining
More and more
Why don't you
Come on home
Oh yes so I won't
Be all alone
If you don't think
You'll be home soon
I guess I'll
(drown in my own tears)
Ooh, don't let me
(drown in my own tears)
When I'm in trouble, baby
(drown in my own tears)
Oh, yeah, baby don't let me
(drown in my own tears)
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
Oh, mmmmm.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
A long, long, long, way, way from my home
Clap your hands
Clap your hands
Clap your hands
Clap your hands
Clap your hands
Clap your hands
Clap your hands
Clap your hands
Hey… yeah
I got a telephone in my bosom
And I can call him up from my heart
I got a telephone in my bosom
And I can call him up from my heart
When I need my brother… brother
When I need my mother… mother
Hey… yeah… etc.
I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread
No one can understand a word that I say
When I break down just a little and lose my head
Nothing I try to do can work the same way
Any time it happened I'd get over it
With a little help from all my friends
Anybody else could see what's wrong with me
But they walk away and just pretend
When you marry, And you look around
I'll be somewhere in that crowd ....Torn up, that it isn't me
When you're older, The memories fade
But I know I'll still feel the same
For as long as I live .....
But if time is all I have ....I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
Won't you say my name, one time
Please just say my name
But if time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
This is not, this is not, a song
This is a shield, this is a charm, with your name on
By this beat, by this verse, I'm protected
From your heat, and your curse, is reflected
If anybody hurts me
If anybody hurts me
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone

I forgive you boy, I will prevail
Too much to take, some cross to bear
I'm hiding in the trees with a picnic, she's over there
Yeah yeah yeah
She didn't scream, she didn't make a sound
I forgive you boy, but don't leave town
Coal black skin, naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lightning, they're hurting her again
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister, ain't no king man, she's my queen
I have a dream, I've seen the light
Don't put it out, cause she's alright, yeah, she's my sister
She didn't scream, she didn't make a sound
I forgive you boy, but don't leave town

When mama told me "Daddy's gone:.died in the war
He won't be home again"
I never knew him, a picture's all I had
Mama raised me all by herself through good and bad
Somehow she bore the pain
She's the one who believed in me
Always knew when to let me be
Showed me how to keep wrong from right
She was there for me day and night.
I know just what I am and I'm no shining knight
But I believe I'm a better man for the women in my life

Like her father, she can get a little wild
Nobody holds her chained
Her mother raised her and bore the load,
And often told her "Daddy's gone out on the road
But he'll be home again"
But for the time that I wasn't there
When she needed a father's care
I can't turn back the hands of time
But let her know that I'm proud she's mine.
I know just what I am and I'm no shining knight
But I believe I'm a better man for the women in my life.
Of all the women in my life, the one that's closest to me
Is my companion, my confidant, my true and trusted friend
Her steady hand, her sparkling eyes were there to help me see
Right from the start, we traded hearts
So it shall be till the end
Mother, you gave the world to me
Daughter, you are a joy to see
Woman, you've been my constant wife
You are my passion, love of my life.
I know just what I am and I'm no shining knight
But I believe I'm a better man for the women in my life.

"For The Women In My Life"
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world ...
So he dropped the webs of the spider of heaven down through the clouds,
All the way into the pool of blood at the bottom of hell
Far above in heaven a bird flys through the terrible cloud of unknowing
Trust can make a man into a wood, trust can make a man green

Thin threads of light follow you around
Through the pale blue, down your skin
Down your skin
Try and hold it on the road, Thank God for the man who put the white lines
On the highway....
Baby what you gonna do when the fire is through
And you find he's out looking for somebody new ....
Cause you did everything that he wanted you to do
And now you're all alone and crying, aren't you... lover
I know it seems so absurd
We all live in a house on a hill
Nobody has to say a word
I wake up
It's the middle of the night
The room is opening with love
I try to hold on to this golden light
But I fall hard from above
I don't do it for money
I don't do it for God
I'm back on the street because
It takes you there
Takes you there
It takes you there
Takes you there...
Takes you there
Takes you there

Patti Smith, Going Under-->
Sun is rising on the water
Light is dancing again
Let's go under where the sun beams
Let's go under my friend
Are we sleeping
Are we dreaming
Are we dancing again
Is it heaven
Crack it open
And we'll slide down
Its stream
We can hold on (I'm sure)
To the sea's foaming mane
It will serve us
We'll surface
And we'll plunge back again
Sun is rising on the water
Light is dancing like a flame
There's no burning where the sun beams
Oh it's such a lovely game
Does the sea dream (I'm sure)
We are here, we attend
We are bells on the shore
Where the tolling suspends
Who will decide the shape of things?
The shift of being
Who will perceive
When life is new
Shall we divide and become another
Who is due for gift upon gift
Who will decide
Shall we swim over and over
The curve of a wing
Its destination ever changing
Sun is rising on the water
Light is dancing like a flame
Let's go waltzing on the water
Let's go under again
Let's go under
Going under
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.
Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.
Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.
I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley blow,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.
The apples of the valley hold, The seeds of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.
The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.
Oh war is the common cry, Pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.
Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.
The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on.
Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.
Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.
At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.

Not much, how 'bout you
I'm not sure why I called
I guess I really just wanted to talk to you ...
And I was thinking maybe later on
We could get together for awhile
It's been such a long time
And I really do miss your smile ...
I'm not talking 'bout moving in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I really love to see you tonight ....
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I really love to see you tonight
We could go walking through a windy park
Take a drive along the beach
Or stay at home and watch t.v.
You see it really doesn't matter much to me ....
And I really love to see you tonight, babe
If you come knockin' late at night
She'll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides
She'll let you in her car
To go drivin' 'round
She'll let you into the parts of herself
That'll bring you down
She'll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice
You've gone a million miles
How far'd you get
To that place where you can't remember
And you can't forget
She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
Then she'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away
Wish you were here...
♥~RIP Dad
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now ...
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life ...
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight ...
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
You're so easier to talk to
And I can see my mother's arms
Reaching down to console me
She's singing don't worry,
being let down is easy
don't worry...
don't worry...
don't worry...
...it's easy

Dancing on the light

Far across the moonbeam
I know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes
turning once to fire.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
I am just a dreamer,
but you are just a dream,
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
You are just a dreamer,
and I am just a dream.
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
Wish you were here...
♥~RIP Dad
Something lost among the leaves
Something found along the way
And so begin these empty pages
At the end of a dream
Watch it slowly fade away
The slight of hand the bait and switch
All the parlor tricks have been played on me
I've seen them come and watched them go
Into the night down a road of stone
Beware, oh take care
I guess it takes a thief to know one
And liars live for broken things
Traitors just smile and smile
The actor has his black mirror
The poet a poison throne
To rule his kingdom alone
But I'm still singing the blues
Dancing that old soft shoe
I'm still drift'n from cloud to cloud
Never looking to come down
From hell to high water
Over that angel bridge
Out into the wilderness
Beware, oh take care

You been out to sea too long
There’s no love to save you
When your weather has gone wrong
So you set a course for nothingness
From back from where you came
Where sirens sing a song of love
To remind you of your pain
We all have storms on our horizon
And we all feel the sun
When it begins rising
And we all follow love
Even when it misguides us
But we can’t see the light from here
Silent lighthouse keeper
With your fire burning bright
Ever constant vigil for lost mariners in the night
In the solitude of misty moods
You talk only to the waves
Who lend an ear while you disappear
Into the dark from which you came
We all have storms on our horizon
And we all feel the sun
When it begins rising
And we all follow love
Even when it misguides us
But we can’t see the light from here
Tearful grey eyed captain
Blows his lonely horn
His albatross above him
While his crew sleeps safe and warm
Set adrift through murky black
Where the moon is out to play
Where only those pure of heart can find their way today
We all have storms on our horizon
And we all feel the sun
When it begins rising
And we all follow love
Even when it misguides us
But we can’t see the light from here

I went out on a limb 'cause I needed to be
Near the fireflies flying high above me
Then I hit the sky and it fell down on me
You said it wasn't sharp but I cut my finger
You said it just wouldn't burn and I scarred my face
You know I bite my nails, my skin and my fingers
And I've heard that's my liver, my nerves and my brain
I said I just like to bite on my fucking fingers
Do you have another intelligent answer for me today
You said it wasn't sharp but I cut my finger
You said it just wouldn't burn and I scarred my face
You said it just wasn't there when it fell down on me
Well I'm just a son of a bitch no matter what you say
I lost my trust in you
You were dangerous and scary
And you poisoned me with the fruits everyone was intrigued by
And I finally got buried
You said I won't forget and I don't remember and
You said I'm something I'm not and I fell on my face
You said I wouldn't rot but worms are crawling on me
I'm just a son of a bitch no matter what you say
I'm just a son of a bitch no matter what you say

But I had to kill her
I used to love her, Mm, yeah
But I had to kill her
I had to put her six feet under
And I can still hear her complain
I used to love her, Oo, yeah
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, Oo, yeah
But I had to kill her
I knew I'd miss her
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my backyard
Oh yeah, Oo yeah, whoa, oh yeah
I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, Mm, yeah
But I had to kill her
She bitched so much, She drove me nuts
And now I'm happier this way, yeah
Whoa, oh yeah
I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, Mm, yeah
But I had to kill her
I had to put her, Oo, six feet under
And I can still hear her complain
Into my eyes,
When I begin,
To realize,
I've cried so much,
Since you've been gone,
I guess I'm drowning in my own tears,
I sit and cry,
Just like a child
My pouring tears
Are runnin' wild
If you don't think
You'll be home soon
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
I know it's true
Into each life
Some rain, rain must pour
I'm so blue
Here without you
It keeps raining
More and more
Why don't you
Come on home
Oh yes so I won't
Be all alone
If you don't think
You'll be home soon
I guess I'll
(drown in my own tears)
Ooh, don't let me
(drown in my own tears)
When I'm in trouble, baby
(drown in my own tears)
Oh, yeah, baby don't let me
(drown in my own tears)
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
Oh, mmmmm.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

Hey… yeah
I got a telephone in my bosom
And I can call him up from my heart

When I need my brother… brother
When I need my mother… mother
Hey… yeah… etc.

No one can understand a word that I say
When I break down just a little and lose my head
Nothing I try to do can work the same way
Any time it happened I'd get over it
With a little help from all my friends
Anybody else could see what's wrong with me
But they walk away and just pretend
When I breakdown ...
And you'll hear this simple song ....
That I made up, that I made up for you ...
When you're driving, ... Turn the radio up
Cause I can't sing loud enough
Hard these days - To get my message through
If time is all I have - .... I'll waste it all on you .....
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space ....
Of silences keeping me awake .....
Won't you say my name, one time
Please just say my name .....
I'll be somewhere in that crowd ....Torn up, that it isn't me
When you're older, The memories fade
But I know I'll still feel the same
For as long as I live .....
But if time is all I have ....I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
Won't you say my name, one time
Please just say my name
But if time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
If time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Won't you say my name
When the song is over ...
This is a shield, this is a charm, with your name on
By this beat, by this verse, I'm protected
From your heat, and your curse, is reflected
If anybody hurts me
If anybody hurts me
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Send my credentials to the house of detention
And did you say that she loves you?
Baby, I dont wanna know ....
I begin not to love you
turn around,see me runnin ...
I said I loved you years ago
telling myself you never loved me ....
no..
And did you say she was pretty?
And did you say that she loves you?
Baby, I dont wanna know
oh no..
And Can you tell me was it worth it
really, I dont wanna know ...
Time cast its spell on you
but you wont forget me
I know I could've loved you
but you would not let me
I'll follow you down to the sound
of my voice that haunts you ....
you'll never get away from the
sound of the woman that loves you....
(Was I just a fool?)
