I left my home one day for the sake of better pay. In a foreign land twelve centuries back in time. Where the sun keeps pouring down on the holes down in the ground.
When I got home that night early one morning. Seeing the note written in ink pinned to the door. Drinking the drink cold from the fridge on the table.
He is in his room, men will be there soon. They come to smash the heaven he has known. Now he's sure to know soon that he must go. This backstreet dream he has to leave behind.
Sitting by the window where I used to sit with you. Playing all the old songs like we often used to do. It was a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely night.
Couldn't see my funny side as far as I recall and it didn't mean much to me. Carried on messing round and getting lower every day. And then a little while later looking for a way to get ahead of all the ups and downs.
Is there a better way? Is there a better way?. Is there a better way ahead or just another day?. There's got to be a way to make a better day. I'm gonna find away to make a better day.
Say you need me, say you need me, tell me that you want my love. Say you will be mine and I am yours. You think that you're way above me, I'm telling you that I can see.
I thought it over in a quiet room. What about it, what about the dream. Of the future, looking much better. Wonder what is on the other side. When we get there, if we do make it.

When my mind is not live, I see you there before me. Every night in my mind your face flies by me. . Then the morning light comes to bring reality. But my dream lingers on, a little while for me.
Heavens above, his mother would say. My Tommy's in love, he's moody all day. He's out of his mind, suspended in time. . But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, sayin'.
Oh baby, you gonna miss me when I'm gone. Oh baby, you gonna miss me when I'm gone. I thought you were my baby. And you would always be my friend. . Oh baby, I feel tears comin' in my eyes.
