Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',;
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
What looks large from a distance,;
Close up ain't never that big.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,;
I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
May you have a strong foundation;
When the winds of changes shift
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
I got new eyes ;
Everything looks far away
And I, I don't mind the pain;
Don't mind the driving rain;
I know I will sustain;
'Cause I believe in you.
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,;
He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed;
Dignity never been photographed
Somebody's got to find your trail,;
I guess it must be up to me.
I'm already there in my mind;
And that's good enough for now
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,;
Should I leave them by your gate,;
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
I see, I see lovers in the meadow;
I see, I see silhouettes in the window;
I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hanging on ;
To a shadow
I still can remember the way that you smiled
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
As the last fire truck from hell;
Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
time is running backwards
Now, don't crowd me, lady;
Or I'll fill up your shoe
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard;
I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
Go melt back into the night, babe,;
Everything inside is made of stone.;
There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
