Hold the light up to me, get underneath my skin. I feel a little undefined, I want to let you in. And I listen to the messages, the endless train of thought.
So you wrote me a letter. Which I thought was really kind. Dont recall which song it was. But there was one you really like. . And you asked me so innocently.
Life is like a sinking ship and you are at the wheel. You see the hole is filling up, you know your fate is sealed. But still you keep on trying to steer the ship to shore.
Here and there. Haunting my closets and drawers. My evermore. . Now and then. Forgetting that every thing's changed. I call her name. . And I heard the stories.
I believe. I believe. I believe. Oh, I believe. All will be forgiven. . I believe. I believe. I believe. Oh, I believe. All will be forgiven. . I believe.
All the storms and oceans. All the sheltering sky. All this earth and she and I. . Wait, until it happens. Wait, the moment will come. Wait, but all those are already one.
Wind so restless, yearning breathless. Sons and daughters sometimes they do meet. I remember one September. How I felt a strange late summer heat. . Distant oceans, wild notions.
Had a house full of riches. Threw it all away. I'm not a worthy man. No matter what you say. . I promise forever. And left without a word. I'm not a worthy man.
Don't get me wrong. I'm feeling okay. But when I'm without you. It's just not the same. . Don't misunderstand me. I'm feeling alright. But when I'm without you.
Hey Casanova. You don't look too good. But I know times are tough. . You never found your paradise. Like you said you would. And it's all catching up.
I'm awake in the afternoon. I fell asleep in the living room. And it's one of those moments. When everything is so clear. . Before the truth goes back into hiding.
I wake to find the Devil sitting near my bed. We have a conversation, he says. . "Good morning, Mr. Cut throat. These are most exciting times. We are surrounded by fools and crooks.
Clearly I'm a genius, if she only knew it. But somewhere in her radius I really blew it. I know, I know what I said to her and I know what I did. What I don't know is how I could ever be so incredibly stupid.
Maybe I'll just whisper. Neither humble, neither proud. Listen if you care to. But I will not sing too loud. No, not tonight. . Just before I'm over and out.
For you I wanna sing the happier song. For you I wanna try to right all my wrongs. For you I'm gonna break my bad habits. There's a golden ring and I want you to have it.
If, again, you wander. If, too soon again, you wander. Far away, far away. Let this, too, be with you. An old tune somewhere within you. Far away, far away.
