A million to one. A father a son. Waste of a life. With all these years gone by. I still feel the same. I'm trying to change. You left this like. A thief in the night.
You can't watch the clouds roll by this time. you don't want to be so blind you'll find. . but I'm miles above you're head. lives, lies and shattered dreams.
Open your eyes to a brighter way of dreaming. Relax the moments are kept locked inside. Hold me now as day turns into evening. Here comes the night. .
When it's raining she says. Jesus is crying. the whole world is dead. . it feels like the world is. crashing around you, you. cannot sit still, mindless.
We are the left behind. Lost on the roads you followed. We are the compromise. Weve opened up our eyes. Fight the hand that feeds you lies. This time we make it right.
With a southern smile she dont seem cold. Drive right through to a Midwest storm. Theres a broken heart across the field. Where the sun dont shine and the wounds wont heal.
I am a crooked man. And I've walked a crooked mile. Night, the shameless widow. Doffed her weeds, in a pile. The stars all winked at me. They shamed a child.
She loves me, she loves me not. She loves me, she loves me not. She loves me, she loves me not. . Well, I've spent seven days and seven nights. Tryin' to get sunk in this brine.
They call me The Wild Rose. But my name was Elisa Day. Why they call me it I do not know. For my name was Elisa Day. From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one.
I watched you fall to pieces, I let this whole world come undone. How would you know? You left me all surrounding. You left this broken by the sun. Look what you've done.
[Verse 1]. Cosmonaut, the ruined lighthouse,. A lantern lit,. Goodbye, moony eyed walrus.. Large, fanged teeth,. He talked about the sea,. "Neath the willowy marsh, it was you and I.".
There's a world inside my head. waiting for the lights to change. waiting for the sky to fall. I shoulda known by now. . there's a moment of peace that comes.
I remember a girl so very well,. The carnival drums all mad in the air. Grim reapers and skeletons and a missionary bell,. O where do we go now but nowhere ?.
'ey!. 'ey!. 'ey!. 'ey!. . "Are you goin' to the party on Saturday," she asked as if I didn't know.. See, ever since I saw you on the back of some guy's bicycle....
Well I will rise. the morning comes. nothing ever stays the same. I saw it written on your own face. You're not supposed to be the best of them. you never ever could.

With a crooked smile. And a heart-shaped face. Comes from the West country. Where the birds sing bass. She's got a house-big heart. Where we all live.
Along crags and sunless cracks I go. Up rib of rock, donw spine of stone. I dare not slumber where the right winds whistle. Lest her creeping-soul clutch this heart of thistle.
The sign on the wall was the same before. The words are so loud, as they fall from your mouth. I know the miles are sure to come. . You needed an out, I needed a change.
Alice wakes. It is morning. She is yawning. As she walks about the room. Her hair falls down her breast. She is naked and it is June. . Standing at the window.
