Late afternoon back in New York town. Waking up as the wheels touch down. Pick up my guitar and walk away. Wish I was going home to stay. . Line of taxis, I wait my turn.
It's not the altitude. That takes my breath away. And makes my body think the air's too thin. It's not the bourbon, you've been drinking. That burns like autumn leaves against my skin.
Go away from my window. Leave at your own chosen speed. I'm not the one you want, babe. I'm not the one you need. . You say, you're lookin' for someone.
I have words in me that I need to tell you,. There are times in my life, when I know what I want,. I walked away once before, I won't walk away again,.
I had something, it fell from me. Something strong like a pounding drum. Like ringing bells when I was young. I had something and it was gone. . I had something, made me walk all night.
Hole in my head, hole in my head. I need a boy like you like a hole in my head. I need a boy like you like a hole in my head. Let's just say, we will and then don't instead.
Go to sleep my darling. Lay down upon your bed. May the rhymes of childhood songs. Dance inside your head. . When night time falls around you. I know that you're afraid.
Guinevere in my castle in Normandy. Make a new home with me come follow me down. Guinevere all my honor and glory. Will just be a story of the fall of the crown.
Guilty as sin. I know where you've been. Guess she was alone last night. . You took what you want. Now it's all gone. I was just another free ride. . And I just needed something.
Sleepless nights don't bother me at all. And if dawn comes I won't worry. Something deep inside keeps me awake. I wish that you were here right beside me.
Remember when they took him in the middle of the night. And nobody told you where he'd gone?. Death in with morning light and touched your father's hand.
Five in the morning, lying in bed. Listening to the thunderstorm in her head. Looks around the room as she opens her eyes. Pictures on the mantle of a life gone by.
I was your knight in shining armor. I was honor, I was rage. But I was nothing 'til you showed me. My armor was a cage. Then we were no more boy and girl.
I used to hear him sing in a Bleecker Street bar. On that tiny stage with a borrowed guitar. His voice cut through like a speeding car. Tearing through the deals of the brokers at the bar.
Tear me out of you, come on, try. Tear me out of anything, come on, try. Give me a little light. A mirror and some smoke. . I am an amulet, wish upon me.
Remember when we were hand in hand. Remember, we sealed it with a golden band. Now your eyes don't meet mine. You've got a pulse like fever. Do I take you for a lover or just a deceiver.
Don't mind me, I'm just a, a bit maniacal about you. And derailed when I'm without you, don't mind me. Don't mind me, if you could love me just a little it'd be okay.
Two shinning kids climb up a mountain. They stop the stars and start to count on. One's my good one, one's my bad one. One's not so good, one's not so bad.
Snow bound siren in the winter dawn. There's a blizzard blowing in from off the river. It's ten below out on these city streets. But the feeling in your heart is even colder.
Seventeen years she has been in this world. Wide-eyed and wistful, pretty little mormon girl. She don't know I'm wicked, and she don't know I'm old. Sweet Jesus forgive me but she gets in my soul.
