It's been a long time since I watched these lights alone
I look around my life tonight and you are gone I might have done something to keep you if I'd known How unhappy you had become While I was dreaming of you With my heart in your hands And I was following though With my beautiful plans Yeah now I'm rolling down this canyon drive With your laughter in my head I'm gonna have to block it out somehow to survive cause those dreams are dead And I'm alive I want to go where I will never hear your name I want to lose my sorrow and be free again And I know I've been insane When I think of places I could have been But I was dreaming of you With my heart in your hands And I was following through With my beautiful plans Standing here by the highway side Watching these trucks blow by Inches from my face Yeah thinking 'bout the time I've wasted And the pleasure we once tasted Looking up and down this road I've been here before Can't be here no more Yeah now I'm rolling down California five With your laughter in my head I'm gonna have to block it out somehow to survive cause those dreams are dead And I'm alive |

To love and get away before the walls have arisen
You've got to be free But to go on attempting to break into the prison You'ld have to be me I wait for the sun to rise over the mountain I wait for your touch I wait for your angels to carry me home But I wait too much Waiting for you I have no problem telling right from wrong Fiction from what's true No problem telling the dream from the dawn My problem is you Waiting here for you I wanted to live in the realm of the senses You've got to know how And for some kinds of pleasure there are no defenses I know that now Our love is a crackling ladder of lightning Our love is a fire Our love is a wave moving deep in an ocean Of need and desire Waiting for you I have no problem with this crooked world I play the cards I drew No problem with the changes life has hurled My problem is you Waiting here for you I need your wonder and I need your light I need your tender touch to heal the night I need you laughing and I need you free And I need to lock you away deep inside of me Waiting for you I have no problem telling right from wrong The way some people do I know exactly where these arms belong My problem is you Waiting here for you And I don't worry about the ozone layer Just let those rays come through When I'm outside I keep my clothes on My problem is you Waiting here for you And I don't worry about Madonna Or the next thing she might do And I don't worry about your mamma My problem is you Waiting here for you |

I hear your heart beating everywhere
When we're apart I can hear you there I hear your heart beating everywhere Everywhere I go People say that I must be in love The way I forget what we're speaking of The way I stand there smiling straight ahead And walk away without hearing a word they said I hear your heart beating everywhere When we're apart I can close my eyes and hear you there I hear your heart beating everywhere Everywhere I go In the middle of the football game At the beach in the pouring rain Standing on a hillside staring at the sun People hurry by the unfortunate one With the faraway eyes and the mystery smile Moving my body in a ragamuffin style I can't sit down when I hear it start I hear you heart everywhere I go People say that I must be a fool Cause when I'm near you I cannot be cool I don't quite make sense when I talk to you And when you smile I forget everything I knew I hear your heart beating everywhere When we're apart I can close my eyes and hear you there I hear your heart beating everywhere Everywhere I go Standing in the market where I buy my bread With a hunger in my belly and a rhythm in my head Looking all around for something good to eat Between the butter and the beans and the mops and the meat Coffee from the mountain, honey from the bee Nothing tastes as good as you taste to me Rocking in the aisle to my inside song People staring at me think I got a walkman on I hear your heart beating everywhere I hear your heart I hear your heart beating everywhere I hear you heart Beating everywhere I go |

You hold a life there in your hands
You probably don't know Somehow your dreams became my plans Somewhere long ago Think about the things we've done and where we've been Your touch made me a king I don't want to live without your love again I'll do anything To make you see what I'm imagining To know the pleasure your smile can bring To keep the light from vanishing I'll do anything I fly this airplane upside down I walk out on the wing To see you watching from the ground I'll do anything When I see the light upon your upturned face I can hear the angels sing Don't ever let another take my place I'll do anything To make you see what I'm imagining To know the pleasure your smile can bring To keep the light from vanishing I'll do anything I make this world a place for you and me I make your happiness my responsibility To make this world the world you want to see I'll do anything When I see the light upon your upturned face I can hear the angels sing To see that no one ever takes my place I'll do anything To make you see what I'm imagining To know the pleasure your smile can bring To keep the light from vanishing I'll do anything |

I got my head down between my knees
I got my back against this bedroom wall I hear my voice saying baby please But I know you don't hear me call You're staring at that far horizon I don't even know why you stay It's like you're already miles and miles away We got this life so far turned around We only talk about what happened last We try to move ahead but we're losing ground To the heartache and the pain of the past Staring at that far horizon I don't even know why I stay You're already miles and miles away. Miles Away From these sad deliberations From a life in disarray And all these recriminations And these stones all in your passway You got this rage choking up your voice And you're behaving like an orphan child I want to be your friend but I got no choice Than to fight when you're so mean and wild Staring at that far horizon I don't even know why you stay It's like you're already miles and miles away Miles Away From these sad deliberations From the innocence betrayed The abandoned expectations And the stones that we have laid |

There's an angel on a ribbon
Hanging from the armoire door There's a Cupid with his feet crossed On the bird cage by the door There's a baby angel drummer His eyes are open wide And two more tiny cherubs On the mantle side by side Too many angels Have seen me crying Too many angels Have heard you lying There are photographs of children All in their silver frames On the window sills and tabletops Lit by candle flames And upon their angel faces Life's expectations climb Where the moment has preserved them From the ravages of time Too many angels Have seen me crying Too many angels Have heard you lying Bring the morning on Voices sing of day I want to step out in the morning sun Through the flood of tears I want this darkness gone Your sweet face appears These apparitions coming one by one But there's no end in sight Only the dead of night And too many angels Too many angels Have seen me crying Too many angels Have heard you lying Too many angels Bring the morning on Voices sing of day I want to step out in the morning sun Through the flood of tears I want to greet the dawn Cast away these fears Forget about the things we could have done Bring the morning on Voices sing of day I want to watch the children as they run Through the broken years I want this darkness gone Your sweet face appears These apparitions coming one by one But there's no end in sight Only the dead of night And too many angels |

It used to be there were two sets of footprints in the sand
And there were two silhouettes in the sunset hand in hand But now here beside the sea are the footprints of three And I can't find my own Among the directions they're all going Baby it's alright Break this chain of love and madness It's alright Take this rain as your new address It's alright Take this rain It's alright Take this rain 'cause I've been running all over creation out of my mind Trying to keep our hearts beating together all of the time Going crazier every day Watching our love slipping away 'cause you're the only home I've ever wanted And the only light I've known But baby it's alright Break this chain of love and madness It's alright Take this rain as your new address It's alright Take this rain It's alright Take this rain You're going to be free Some people go through life seeing just what they want to see Take the way I went on believing You might still believe in me And I still want the love I always thought our love could be But some things can't be changed Take this rain You're going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name And know my love and my desperation were one and the same And where our footprints used to be There'll be nothing but the sea And the tide and the wind and the open sky And the unbroken horizon Baby it's alright Break this chain of love and madness It's alright Take this pain and all this sadness It's alright Make this rain into your fortress It's alright Take this rain It's alright Take this rain It's alright Take this rain You're going to be free |

There are two of me
And two of you Two who have betrayed love And two who have been true And together we went crashing through Every bond and vow and faith we knew Me and the fool I've been And the two of you Of the two of me One always knew That I would always love you Whatever you might do And the more unfree and troubled you grew I could feel the whole world splitting in two Trying to make the room For the two of you So like a fragile little child More than a little lost and wild How the light would leave the sky when you cried And returned again when you smiled And how the light would invade and divide The darkness I have inside There were two of me And two of you Searching for a passageway Hidden from our view And together we went crashing through Every bond and vow and faith we knew Me and the fool I've been And the two of you |

In the calling out to one another
Of the lovers up and down the strand In the sound of the waves and the cries Of the seagulls circling the sand In the fragments of the songs Carried down the wind from some radio In the murmuring of the city in the distance Ominous and low I hear the sound of the world where we played And the far too simple beauty Of the promises we made If you ever need holding Call my name, I'll be there If you ever need holding And no holding back, I'll see you through Sky blue and black Where the touch of the lover ends And the soul of the friend begins There's a need to be separate and a need to be one And a struggle neither wins Where you gave me the world I was in And a place I could make a stand I could never see how you doubted me When I'd let go of your hand Yeah, and I was much younger then And I must have thought that I would know If things were going to end And the heavens were rolling Like a wheel on a track And our sky was unfolding And it'll never fold back Sky blue and black And I'd have fought the world for you If I thought that you wanted me to Or put aside what was true or untrue If I'd known that's what you needed What you needed me to do But the moment has passed by me now To have put away my pride And just come through for you somehow If you ever need holding Call my name, I'll be there If you ever need holding And no holding back, I'll see you through You're the color of the sky Reflected in each store-front window pane You're the whispering and the sighing Of my tires in the rain You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost In everything I do Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you In the sunlight and the shadows And the faces on the avenue That's the way love is That's the way love is That's the way love is Sky blue and black |

All good things got to come to an end
The thrills have to fade Before they come 'round again The bills will be paid And the pleasure will mend All good things got to come to an end God I wish I was home Laying 'round with my friends The call of the wild Caution thrown to the wind The fall of the child Where the longing begins All good things got to come to an end Like a river flows Rolling 'till it ends in the sea Our pleasure grows Rolling 'till it ends in you and me Now as the dark gathers into the sky And legions of might go thundering by Regions of light grow dim and then die And we with our wings Wait for morning to fly Like a river flows Rolling 'till it ends in the sea Our pleasure grows Rolling 'till it ends in you and me Rolling 'till it ends in you and me Here where the angels Have appeared and are gone Your face like an ember Glows in the dawn But I want you to remember All wild deeds live on All good times, all good friends All good things got to come to an end The thrills have to fade Before they come 'round again The bills will be paid And the pleasure will mend All good things got to come to an end All good times, all good friends All good things got to come to an end |
