It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Mama, take this badge off of me
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
Won't you come with me, baby?;
I'll take you where you wanna go.;
And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
For the loser now;
Will be later to win
When there is no more,;
You cut to the core;
Quicker than anyone I knew.
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
Whatever you gonna do,;
Please do it fast.
An' here I sit so patiently;
Waiting to find out what price;
You have to pay to get out of;
Going through all these things twice.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,;
And the dust of rumors covers me.
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
Our conversation was short and sweet;
It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
And every time you get this close;
It makes me want to scream
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
And they're breaking down the distance;
Between right and wrong.
May you have a strong foundation;
When the winds of changes shift
My children will go, As soon as they grow.;
Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
My head tells me it's time to make a change;
But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime;
Or is it just solid rock?
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea;
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
May you build a ladder to the stars;
And climb on every rung.
You got a lotta nerve;
To say you are my friend
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere;
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
I still can remember the way that you smiled
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats;
Too noble to neglect;
Deceived me into thinking;
I had something to protect
