you pulled my heart out of my chest and helled it in front of my face. we were on top of empire state. i guess you put me in my place. i can see my house from here.
Now and then you see me falling, way behind the things I need to do. Don't you believe I've missed my calling, I'm just the one to play your fool. . (Chorus:).
I've thought about the things I need. And I'm willing just to let them be. There's nothing that I'd want anyway. That could take the place of you and all the things you do and say.
As the moon goes fading. He lies awake waiting. For a break in the night. When he makes, he's lonely flight. And it's the same old story. Somebody bound for glory.
Wasn't that me. In the lead tonight. Still a little behind. But I'll be alright. . Ridin' down hard. Who do you think you are. In the lead tonight. . I'm livin' with the hurt.
From a backwater town in Ohio, all the way down to New Orleans. Hiding deep in the bayou, waiting on a Northbound river queen. . For too many years now, I've been the devil's own.
Susannah, there was peace between our fathers. How we ceased to be a bother?. We would run together in the morning light. And separate until the cool of night, oh, my Susannah.
Ten wheels rolling through a lonely night. I know what I'm feeling. And it's not quite right. Look out the window could be anywhere. I miss that thing that only we could share.
(Chorus:). Sometimes we are all we got, this time I have not forgot. Even a blind man can see, that it could be you,. it might be me. And sometimes we are all we got.
In she comes a ridin' on a mornin' sunrise. I am left to believing all that is standing before my eyes. . And I wonder, now I wonder. Would the sun have shone ever so brightly alone?.
Just down the road, some sixty miles away. There's smoke in the sky, she's going down in flames. . Please wait for me, please wait for me. Time will fly like a cannonball, my darlin' you will see.
I've got my head up on the ceiling. And I can't see myself lookin' down. At a heartthat has no feelin'. And I could not care when you come around. . I'm tryin' to find a way to tell you,.
Ol' forgiver. You're a true life giver. When I'm cold. Warm me when I shiver. . Ol' forgiver. When I'm runnin' you down. Now ain't you the clown. I'm chasing, madly embracing.
(Chorus:). Standing in the midnight rain, all alone with the pieces of my heart again. Knowing one of us is right, and one of us is gone into another night.
How will you feel tonight. When you're all alone. And you still think you're right. How will you feel tonight. . Always running. You never walk. Do you ever listen.
In the heart of the night. In the cool southern rain. There's a full moon in sight. Shinin' down on the Pontchartrain. And the river she rises. Just like she used to do.
We were setting in the harbor. With our sights out on the land. And there was something someone or other. That we couldn't quite understand. . About the driving wheel.
I gotta get down on the river again. She's a true life giver, she's my only friend. When I'm hidin' out, I need a way to ride on out. From all that gunfire up on the land.
Have you heard about the ones who can't get to sleep at night. Walking through their shoes in the neon light. There's a strain in their faces from the wind and the sand.
Break of hearts. Drifting to far apart. To be heard. Empty words. Making up too late from a losing start. . Break of hearts. Waiting on a loosing game.
