You only think of me when you're lonely after all the laughter's been and gone. When streets are filled with neon shadows only I'm a shoulder you come crying on.
These are the words. That cry out of me in the night. Like a buffalo herd. From a shotgun blast scattered in flight. . I got a one track mind. Going down a one train line.
It's four a.m. and you're just gettin' in. Your first night out I won't ask you where you've been. You're so ashamed your eyes can't meet mine. You've seen that look on me a thousand times.
I heard somebody loves me wonder who. Well I hope they're right and I hope that someone's you. And if you'll only stay with me a while I promise when you leave you'll wear a smile.
Puttin' on your makeup I can see the lines you're tryin' hard to hide. Lines that tell the story of a life with me that seemed too few good times. All I've been to you is a thorn to me you've been a rose.
When I said I needed you you said you would always stay. It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away. Don't you see that now you're gone and I'm left here on my own.
I know that you're wondering who I dream about. And if I've met someone who thrills me so. Well I finally met a girl who turns me inside out. I'll tell you about her for you ought to know.
You can have her, I don't want her. She didn't love me anyway. She only wanted someone to play with. All I wanted was love to stay. . If you get the wrong woman.
(I believe in yesterday). Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it seems that I will have to stay oh I believe in yesterday. Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be.
How am I to believe. I've lost myself in you. Afraid to ask for what I need. So give it to you. . But I'm on your side now. I'm on your side now. I'm on your side now.
Tin roof shaking, crashing black. Well, I aint going back. Deliver me, take me in. Let me breathe your coarse wind. . Day is empty, night too long. River hums a sweet song.
At the reservoir, following. A narrow path of light. What keeps us coming back for more. Is always out of sight. . And raindrops fall on broken glass.
No, you are not gotten here. We've been shut down for some years. You waited 'til the warmth of spring. To be let in. . Oh, there's re on your tongue.
If your friends think I look like a fool, it's your fault.. If I stumble and stutter when you walk in a room, it's your fault.. If your momma thinks I'm crazy and your daddy loves to hate me cause his little girl is crazy over me..
This is no great illusion. When I'm with you I'm looking for a ghost. Or invisible reasons. To fall out of love and run screaming from our home. . Because we live in a house of mirrors.
I just turned out the light upstairs the kids are fast asleep. I listened while they said their prayers for the Lord their souls to keep. And I didn't hear them say your name for the first time since you've gone.
Each time you say you'll love me forever I believe it then something goes wrong. So this time let's use my forever cause your forevers don't last very long.
Are you thinking that I don't care for you. Could it be you believe that I've been untrue. Well listen sweetheart it just cannot be. Cause you're the only good thing that's happened to me.
I thought any fool could be fooled only once that a burn child remembers the pain. Yet here I am listening with stars in my eyes you're telling me sweet lies again.
There's nothing so precious. The some thing you've lost. And found it somehow in the end. I lost you my darling but now you've come back. You're calling me sweetheart again.
