May you always know the truth;
And see the lights surrounding you.
When I met you, baby,;
You didn't show no visible scars.
Silver and gold;
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
May you build a ladder to the stars;
And climb on every rung.
I was in your presence for an hour or so;
Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
I'm already there in my mind;
And that's good enough for now
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,;
For the child that cries;
When innocence dies.
He bought me with a price,;
Freed me from the pit,;
Full of emptiness and wrath;
And the fire that burns in it.
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,;
And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,;
Should I leave them by your gate,;
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
You cast your spell and I went under,;
I find it so difficult to leave.
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town;
This is the blind horse that leads you around
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,;
What good am I?
All the people we used to know;
Are an illusion to me now
Roses are red, violets are blue;
And time is beginning to crawl
Your cracked country lips,;
I still wish to kiss,;
As to be under the strength of your skin.
Cities on fire, phones out of order
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain;
That could hold you dear lady from going insane
I finally realize there's no room for regret
I'll remember you;
When the wind blows through the piney wood.
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
We're idiots, babe.;
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
