The night has a thousand eyes and ears. The rain tends to wash away my fears. It's not been long but it seems like years. And now you're here. Brush away my tears.
I thought that we'd be further along by now. I can't remember how. We stumbled to this place. . I loved you like a long lost brother. On a bad day maybe I thought, why bother.
Walking out in the freezing rain. I feel nothing 'cause I numbed the pain. I'm lookin' forward to lookin' back. On this day. . Prayed last night. Dear God please no.
Little did I know that I almost let you go. Until I caught a glimpse of life without you. Little did I know how deep these roots had grown. Until I felt the earth quake here without you.
O little town of Bethlehem. How still we see thee lie. Above thy dark and dreamless sleep. The silent stars go by. . Yet in thy dark streets shineth. The everlasting light.
Lets spend the day in bed, yeah, thats what I said. Lets lie down, draw the shades. Ditch the plans we made. Rest your lovely bones and just stay home.
The moon blind-sided the sky again. As we grab loose ends of the tide and then. The slippery slide. You know I can't say when. I ever took a ride that could slap me this silly.
Confused. Ever since I spied you. In the rooms of my mind. Now I can't deny you. . Bleeding and bruised. Like a vagabond in rags. I've walked the streets to your door.
The last time I saw Jesus. I was drinking bloody mary's in the South. In a barroom in New Orleans. Rinsin' out the bad taste in my mouth. . She wore a dark and faded blazer.
Have you been trying too hard. Have you been holding too tight. Have you been worrying too much lately. All night. Whatever we've lost. I think we're gonna let it go.
Here is my fortune. Here is my fame. Here is my future. It's in my pocket. And if my fortune. . Weren't only lint and small change. Wishing in one hand.
Yesterday I saw. The iron curtain. Around your heart. Yesterday I saw. The iron curtain. Around your heart. Making me cry. Making me wonder. Bringing me down.
If a song could be president. Wed hum on Election Day. The gospel choir would start to sway. And wed all have a part to play. . The First Lady would free her hips.
If I'm drowning within your open sea. Save me, save me. If I'm lost within your strange anatomy. Talk to me, talk to me. . If I'm on fire and I'm melting in the heat.
If we make it through December. Everything's gonna be alright I know. It's the coldest time of winter. And I shiver when I see the falling snow. . If we make it through December.
I've been slipping down in the grass. Counting the steps to your back door. I've been praying you'd see me pass. Knowing somehow you've seen me before.
I painted my name on a bridge today. In black and white and red and grey. You know it's really not far away. From the banks of the river. Where the president used to play.
I want you to be my love. I want you to be my love. 'Neath the moon and the stars above. I want you to be my love. . I want you to know me now. I want you to know me now.
Black flamenco shoes. Dahlias in my hair. Garters on my stockings. The sidewalk bends to stare. . Im on a roll, oh. Im on a roll, oh, oh, oh. . Ambition may be blind.
What's it like to be the only somebody in the room. Tell us all what does it cost you to be you. Takin' out Daddy's trash, now ain't it a drag. Trippin' on Papa's brand new body bag.
