Here you are now. Fresh from your war. Back from the edge of time. And all that you were. Stripped to the bone. I thought you'd want to know. . That when you feel the world is crashing.
Red hand print on the white of your cheek. Pack your bags quiet while the lion sleeps. Watch your Mum put her name to the line. Next to the place where your Father signed.
Let's take the train to anywhere. I wanna feel the wind in my hair with you. Let's tell them all, that soon they'll know. How very wrong they were to think we'd never go.
Give me my dream and give me a scene. where you have a past of which you are clean.. Oh, give me a lie.. Tell me you fell 'cos of my grace. and not to help you erase her face..
Ooh, come a little closer it's a feeling that I can't deny. I was weak, but I never thought I'd speak about the darker side. Ooh, is that a tent? I could repent upon the side of the road.
Thunder, hard rain, I'm lonely. I know you're lonely too. Late night, thinking I need you. I know you need me too. . So when you get the nerve. Just call and give the word.
Thunder, hard rain, I'm lonely. I know you're lonely too. Late night, thinking I need you. I know you need me too. . So when you get the nerve. Just call and give the word.
It's not that bad,. We could have died.. Chalk it up to being young,. prove it was me.. . On a morning drive,. A blurred headlight.. From the corner of my eye..
It's the perfect time of day. It's the last day of your life. Don't let it drift away. While your heart is still racing. It's the perfect time of day.
The dawn is breaking. A light shining through. You're barely waking. And I'm tangled up in you. . Yeah. I'm open, you're closed. Where I follow, you'll go.
The dawn is breaking.... A light shining through.... You're barely waking.... And I'm tangled up in you. (yeah). . I'm open, you're closed.. Where I'll follow you'll go..
Sometimes I think I pass you walkin' on the street and I believe it. Sometimes I think I see you lookin' back at me and now I see it. Everythin' you feel sayin' what is real.
Break down, break down. Break down, break down. Break down, break down. . I'm not about to change what you've become. And I won't tell you what to say.
Are you far away in a new life?. Are you wearing the same dress. That you wore when we met the first night?. Are you feeling it in a different time?. Are you telling the same jokes.
The light is breakin' through the window. We count the miles. Do you hum to static in your own life?. Or the radio?. . Cut a little bit of me out tonight.
You, you gotta be the one, who's in on the action. I'm wondering when we're leaving. And you, you gotta meet everyone before it's all over. Why? They're gonna be here next weekend.
WWOZ is on in stereo. A string of flowers haloed around your head. Candle light. The ceiling fan. Curtains blow away and back again. Back again. . Don't wake me, I think I'm in a dream.
You in your coat, writing a note. 'Dear Sal, I hope you'll agree'. Then catching a bus just after dusk. A one way trip to the city. . A cold water flat, a hot plate, a hat.
You were standing on the corner when it all came crashing down. On your black shoes and your black hat. You pulled your black dress round. I suppose you should feel sorry but I see you're dressed in silk.
Along the edges, colors blur it seems familiar. While you read your magazine. I was counting all the markers. And California seemed to draw you like a siren.
