Once in a while a man comes along. Even his failures were favorite songs. Oh to have made something so unsurpassed. As certain things fall away some certain things last.
Such an annoying conversation. I'm sorry but I'm tired of trying. To be some picture of compassion. And anyway it sounds like I'm lying. . And yes I've heard the world has conspired.
(intro). The sun has wound down on Birmingham.. The day cleared up. It's pretty grand.. I did a little job with a friend of mine.. Emptied the pockets of the people in line..
So I'm gliding down the street. Passing by all you people. I suppose I'll never meet. Some of you glare at me. Some of you stare at me. But I am no bicycle thief.
Everybody wants to love somebody. It's really simple but it's not that easy. Everybody needs some reassuring. . But when you break it down. They don't believe it.
I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear. I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears. You really had me going, wishing on a star. But the black holes that surround you are heavier by far.
There's a wave of snow, it's coming down. From far below it seems as if then it makes a sound. And it doesn't love does't hate. Stand stood deliver. It's inexhonrable fate.
Cut me once again, feel my body shake. This time you said it all trying not to break. Yeah, your words let you down, there's no need to blame. I danced the fire bright.
Tell me what you dream while you are fast asleep. Could it be of me?. I cannot breath, this tightness just won't leave. My heart is gonna heave. I wish that you could see me.
another shadow on the river floor. another holy man who wanted more. gone, gone. another gone. . the river knew the song. that drew the man. it knew, the river knew the song not him.
Yes, I know we're born a little bit surprised. We went a little far this time. Oh no and I said we've got too many thing to lose. Don't wanna live my life this way.
When I close my eyes. I can see your face. And I want to scream. And I want to chase you out of my dreams. But there is no bed where he used to sleep.
And now we'll sing of drowning things. No wondering what might happen. Upon that ship we played the popular songs. Some sang along, now all that's gone.
Don't be scared of your shadow. You can't hide from your sorrow. You can't stay here till tomorrow. . Welcome to the club of broken hearts. Where a thousand lonely souls.
Under these hands. Hide strings of light. I pull them to me. To make me feel alright. A bit of your hair. To cut through the night. A slip of the tongue.
Did you come down to give me or take me away?. I had so many things to tell you. But now I don't have much to say. This feeling like we're hiding out is getting in the way.
I had a vision. I begged and I plead. I had a vision. I wanted to be dead. . And you said there's nothing you can do. To make all your bad turn good. Turn good.
Sitting here all alone dreaming. Thinking of the summer days so long ago. When the world was yours and mine. Before it turned right on it's side. . And I remember how it felt to hold you.
