He said his name was Columbus;
I just said, "Good luck."
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,;
See what you can do.;
I can make it through,;
You can make it too.
And every time you get this close;
It makes me want to scream
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer;
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
you remind me of something that used to be;
somethin' that crossed over from another century
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?;
You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
We never thought we could ever get old.;
We thought we could sit forever in fun
Not one more night, not one more kiss,;
Not this time baby, no more of this,;
Takes too much skill, takes too much will,;
It's revealing.
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take;
To find dignity
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
All the laughter is just making me sad
On the rising curve,;
Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,;
You won't get anything you don't deserve,;
Where we were born in time.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Let me ask you one question;
Is your money that good
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea;
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
People ask about you;
I didn't tell them everything I knew
You speak to me;
In sign language;
As I'm eating a sandwich
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,;
I saw what I wanted to be
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
People disagreeing everywhere you look,;
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats;
Too noble to neglect;
Deceived me into thinking;
I had something to protect
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.
