I have been unfaithful I have been untrue Now I found the road that Brought me back to you
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
In this crowded city I was so alone Stranger to my own eyes Heart without a home
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
On the Riverside Drive On the red of night In the churches of Brooklyn Underneath the Chelsea lights Up in Battery Park And in Morningsight Heights Hallelujah
Suns are in the sky now Suns are in my veins Throw me in the fire now Love is what remains
In the shadows of tall buildings Of fallen angels on the ceilings Oily feathers in bronze and concrete Faded colors, pieces left incomplete The line moves slowly past the electric fence Across the borders between continents
In the cathedrals of New York and Rome There is a feeling that you should just go home And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is
In the shadows of tall buildings The architecture is slowly peeling Marble statues and glass dividers Someone is watching all of the outsiders The line moves slowly through the numbered gate Past the mosaic of the head of state
In the cathedrals of New York and Rome There is a feeling that you should just go home And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is
In the shadows of tall buildings Of open arches endlessly kneeling Sonic landscapes echoing vistas Someone is listening from a safe distance The line moves slowly into a fading light A final moment in the dead of night
In the cathedrals of New York and Rome There is a feeling that you should just go home And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is
Oohh...
In the cathedrals of New York and Rome There is a feeling that you should just go home And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is
Let's keep it simple, just for fun Don't speak of this to anyone I've seen the way you look in my eyes I know that you're ready to fly I put my cards out on the table You know I'm willing, I know you're able Stars are out, the night is young Little wild one
I need you like the air that I breathe I need you like the sky and the trees I need you like you wouldn't believe I need you like the sun Little wild one
I've thrown away all my defenses No way of knowing what the end is I'll make it simple, I'll take it slow It's there if you're ready to go If you are hurting I wanna heal it I'll be your heaven, oh can't you feel it The fire's burning, the time has come Little wild one
I need you like the air that I breathe I need you like the sky and the trees I need you like you wouldn't believe I need you like the sun Little wild one
I need you like the heavens above I need you like the one that I love For all you are and all you'll become I love you like the sun Little wild one Little wild one
Call me home, call me home Baby when you coming home I can't stand it so alone Rodeo
They all say they're proud of you Though you're still the boy I knew What has fighting done to you Rodeo
I been dreaming boy since you been gone 'Bout a cowboy risin' with the dawn It's just a dream but it keeps me hangin' on Oh rodeo, you been gone too long
Up all night, I'll be here Dancin' with my darkest fear Whisperin' your home is here Rodeo
Call me home, call me home Baby when you coming home I can't stand it so alone Rodeo
I been dreaming boy since you been gone 'Bout a soldier risin' with the dawn It's just a dream but it keeps me hangin' on Oh rodeo, you been gone too long
To an honest man I could give my body and my soul With a practiced hand You could lift me up and make me whole
To the one I love I give the key And his eyes are stars that shine on me And I smell the ocean in the dawn And the bitter times have come and gone
In a gypsy cab On the Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise We are going home And the lust is flirting in your eyes
To the one I love I give the key And his eyes are stars that shine on me And I smell the ocean in the dawn And the bitter times have come and gone Have come and gone Have come and gone Have come and gone
Lalala...
In a hotel room Up above the lights of Tompkins Square While the music plays I'm on my way to meet you there
To the one I love I give the key And his eyes are stars that shine on me And I'm back where I belong And the bitter times have come and gone
Lalala...
Ooh...
To the one I love I give the key And his eyes are stars that shine on me Oh shine on me Oh shine on me Oh shine... on me Oh shine on me Oh shine on me
Though we may fight Most every night I'll meet you in the middle some day The heartaches thrive But the love survives I'll meet you in the middle some day
People are known to be reckless To never let go of their pride But honey I believe we've been careless Cause the damage just can't be denied
Oh, before we start We're miles apart And there's a million reasons why But I wake to find You're still on my mind It's stronger as the years go by
I'd like to sit down with you darlin' Show you everything in my heart But emotions run high when I see your face I just don't know where to start
Oh, I'll meet you in the middle some day Oh, I'll meet you in the middle some day
Mm, if all for this Just one more kiss I'd travel any distance to find Your eyes of coal Your secret soul I swear that I could read your mind
Honey you can call me crazy To think that our affection could last But I see us throw it all together After all the storms have passed
Oh, though we may fight Most every night I'll meet you in the middle some day The heartaches thrive But the love survives I'll meet you in the middle some day
Oh, I'll meet you in the middle some day Oh, I'll meet you in the middle some day Some day
And if you say to me it's wrong, I know But here we are and I refuse to go I can't go on without the love we make Your touch is all I need to cure this day
I can't say no, how hard I've tried How long I've run to try and hide How deep my love, so sweet tonight I can't say no, any more
And if you say to me it's all a dream And let me sleep so happily, it seems Don't wake me up without the love we make Your touch is all I need to cure this day
I can't say no, how hard I've tried How long I've run to try and hide How deep my love, so sweet tonight I can't say no, any more
I can't say no, I can't say no I can't say no, anymore (can't say no, can't say no, can't say)
I can't say no, I can't say no I can't say no, anymore (can't say no, can't say no, can't say)
I can't say no, I can't say no I can't say no, anymore (can't say no, can't say no, can't say)
I can't say no, I can't say no I can't say no, anymore (can't say no, can't say no, can't say)
(can't say no, can't say no, can't say) (can't say no, can't say no, can't say) (can't say no, can't say no, can't say) (can't say no, can't say no, can't say)
Just as long as I'm in this world I'll be, I'll be a light of this Just as long as I'm in this world I'll be, I'll be a light of this Just as long as I'm in this world I'll be, I'll be a light of this Just as long as I'm in this world I'll be, I'll be a light of this world
Ooh...
sometimes I feel this earth is not my home And everything I know is an illusion So many dreams have been broken and it seems So much time is wasted in confusion
But I don't know if pain makes me stronger But if you're beside me tonight
Just as long as I'm in this world I'll be, I'll be a light of this Just as long as I'm in this world I'll be, I'll be a light of this Just as long as I'm in this world I'll be, I'll be a light of this Just as long as I'm in this world I'll be, I'll be a light of this world
Ooh...
Some that I love I will never see again Never see again in this world The one I was I will never be again No use to pretend that I'm the same girl
But I won't wait for you to believe me And if time will give me today I won't wait for heaven to receive me I will pray, I will say
Just as long as I'm in this world I'll be, I'll be a light of this Just as long as I'm in this world I'll be, I'll be a light of this Just as long as I'm in this world I'll be, I'll be a light of this Just as long as I'm in this world I'll be, I'll be a light of this world
