Time is all I have to give
I just want you to know;
I can see through your masks
Temptation's not an easy thing
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath;
But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
Any day now, any day now,;
I shall be released.
You were trying to break into another world;
A world I never knew.;
I always kind of wondered;
If you ever made it through.
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.;
You can't walk the streets in a war
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,;
What good am I?
Have you got some unfinished business?;
Is there something holding you back?;
Are you thinking for yourself;
Or are you following the pack?
I couldn't see what you could show me;
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
Lost time is not found again
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',;
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
When you think that you lost everything;
You find out you can always lose a little more
You don't want a love that's pure;
You wanna drown love;
You want a watered-down love
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
I stood unwound beneath the skies;
And clouds unbound by laws.
A million faces at my feet;
But all I see are dark eyes
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,;
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.;
He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
Now, a very great man once said;
That some people rob you with a fountain pen.;
It didn't take too long to find out;
Just what he was talkin' about.
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,;
If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud;
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun;
I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
How can I explain?;
Oh, it's so hard to get on
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,;
I saw what I wanted to be
