I was lost till you were found
|
But I never knew how far down
|
I was falling
|
Before I reached the bottom
|
|
I was cold and you were fire
|
And I never knew how the pyre
|
Could be burning
|
On the edge of the ice field
|
|
And now the chilly Californian wind
|
Is blowing down our bodies again
|
And we're sinking deeper and deeper
|
In the chilly Californian sand
|
Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart
|
And can't you see my faded Levis bursting apart
|
And don't you here me crying
|
'Oh Babe, don't go'
|
And don't you hear me screaming
|
'How was I to know'
|
|
I'm in the middle of nowhere
|
Near the end of the line
|
But there's a border to somewhere waiting
|
And there's a tankful of time
|
Oh give me just another moment
|
To see the light of the day
|
And take me to another land
|
Where I don't have to stay
|
And I'm gonna need somebody
|
To make me feel like you do
|
And I will receive somebody
|
With open arms, open eyes
|
Open up the sky and let the planet
|
That I love shine through
|
|
For crying out loud
|
You know I love you
|
|
I was damned and you were saved
|
And I never knew how enslaved
|
I was kneeling
|
In the chains of my master
|
|
I could laugh but you could cry
|
And I never knew just how high
|
I was flying
|
Ah with you right above me
|
|
And now the chilly Californian wind
|
Is blowing down our bodies again
|
And we're sinking deeper and deeper
|
In the chilly Californian sand
|
Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart
|
And can't you see my faded Levis bursting apart
|
And don't you here me crying
|
'Oh Babe, don't go'
|
And don't you hear me screaming
|
'How was I to know'
|
|
I'm in the middle of nowhere
|
Near the end of the line
|
But there's a border to somewhere waiting
|
And there's a tankful of time
|
Oh give me just another moment
|
To see the light of the day
|
And take me to another land
|
Where I don't have to stay
|
And I'm gonna need somebody
|
To make me feel like you do
|
And I will receive somebody
|
With open arms, open eyes
|
Open up the sky and let the planet
|
That I love shine through
|
|
For crying out loud
|
You know I love you
|
|
For taking in the rain when I'm feeling so dry
|
For giving me the answers when I'm asking you why
|
My oh my, for that I thank you
|
For taking in the sun when I'm feeling so cold
|
For giving me a child when my body is old
|
Don't you know for that I need you
|
|
For coming to my room when you know I'm alone
|
For finding me a highway and for driving me home
|
For that I serve you
|
|
For pulling me away when I'm starting to fall
|
For revving me up when I'm starting to stall
|
And all in all for that I want you
|
|
For taking and for giving and for playing the game
|
For praying for my future in the days that remain
|
Oh Lord for that I hold you
|
|
Ah but most of all
|
For crying out loud
|
For that I love you
|
When you're crying out loud
|
You know I love you
|
