Turn away, turn away. I'm not sure I'd like you to see me this way. Most days these fangs are inside someone. So you cant see them when when I smile at you.
A mother riding on a city bus. Kids are yelling kicking up a fuss. Everybody's staring not knowing what she's going through. Somebody said, Don't you even care?.
They call me a wiseman but I believe. Wisdom is knowing what to seek. With a star as my guide I'm on my way. To see if heaven sent down a baby today. If I follow, I'll learn the way to go.
Down our long dusty driveway. I didn't want to go. But I set out with tears. In my eyes wonderin'. . An' Daddy took me by the hand. Looked down at the school bus.
When those Monday blues won't let go of you. Is there some place that you'd rather be?. I'd give anything to make your phone stop ringin'. Pull you into my arms and take you with me.
I feel tears wellin' up cold deep inside. Like my heart's sprung a big break. And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful. That I may never shake. . Now you might say that I was taking it hard.
Well, I came up from Goodland, Kansas. I turned eighteen today. I'm college bound for Lincoln. Nebraska's where I'll stay. . It's been my dream all my life.
Me and the boys that I knew in school. Are thirty years old, stubborn as a herd of mules. We get all cleaned up on a Saturday night. We say yes to the girls when they ask if they look alright.
You're talkin' to Billy. Says she's ready and willin'. And I can't see. You're spreadin' around. That she's out doin' the town. Makin' a fool of me. .
Well, I've been called a self-made man. And girl don't you believe it's true. I know exactly how lucky I am. When I'm gettin' this close to you. . It's high time I'm giving some praise.
Mama came home going on and on. 'Bout the new girl down at the beauty salon. She said after what I saw today. Our little town will never be the same. .
Theaters and themes are better than though. Emptiness grew in the lines. Echo the fur that she's much more than this. Her destiny was born. She had run for most of her life.
You close your eyes and leave me naked by your side. You close the door so I can't see. The love you keep inside. The love you keep for me. . It fills me up, it feels like living in a dream.
There's a candle beside my bed. I lit it every night last summer. And I'm home again lit it the first time since then. And it smells like getting to know you.
I hold a picture in my hand. Though I understand. Im drifting into space. . Your eyes are covered by a cloud. Containing all your doubts. You held your lies with grace.
She's so fine. She grows in their minds. . She's so fine. She grows in their minds. Into the light she conquers the world. A moment so wonderful. A diamond so precious.
Get it all, get enough. giving in, giving up. . We're children in the wind. letting sorrow win. . Mystify a simple life. amplify a simple fight. we're creatures of the night.
Please tell me why do birds. Sing when you're near me. Sing when you're close to me?. They say that I'm a fool. For loving you deeply. Loving you secretly.
As the months go by, and I watch everyone. They all seem so happy... am I the only one? Who doesn't feel so happy all the time, like everyone else. As I look around they all seem to have someone who loves them, why can't my someone find me?! Cause' i don't know anymore..
I'm looking back at our old pictures,. and I can't help but cry. I remember when. we use to be so in love. What happened. to those good times?. . (Chorus).
