She's all I ever wanted
|
She could make me alive
|
I don't think she's dead or anything, but I still feel haunted
|
Something in the way she said goodbye
|
This time
|
|
The night before
|
It could be me but it seemed like I needn't return
|
That's right Little Johnny gets to go and fight his war
|
And as he rides off in the sunset he feels the last ray's burn
|
And shine
|
|
The setting sun, though we ain't done
|
The setting sun, though we ain't done
|
The only one that makes me run
|
The setting sun, though we ain't done
|
|
What the hell did she mean
|
When she turned away and said "Don't you ever forget me"
|
And why the sad routine
|
The tear in her eye, and my big reply
|
When I said you'd never let me
|
Oh no, not she
|
|
I found a letter
|
I found it in a pocket that she must have slipped it in
|
It basically told me to forget her
|
Now I ain't no genius, but I think I could begin
|
To see
|
|
The setting sun, though we ain't done
|
The setting sun, though we ain't done
|
The only one that makes me run
|
The setting sun, though we ain't done
|
|
With the sun obscured from view
|
And none but the night left to keep me warm
|
Is it me my darling, there's nothing left to do
|
But surrender to the coming storm
|
Where I am born...
|
|
With nothing to lose, and freedom to gain
|
I rode west at nightfall through freezing rain
|
Relying on luck, and the wit of my brain
|
Visions of plunder and endless campaign
|
Numb the pain
|
|
There is comfort in the sun
|
And the earth is good and soft
|
Now my sail catch the wind send my chariot aloft
|
I am rounding all the parapets
|
As another city burns
|
Harvest all creation for its ominous return
|
And then well before dawn
|
In cover we've gone
|
|
Moving on to the next after killing my prey
|
Growing steadily easier each one I'd slay
|
By blood and by battle, making my way
|
Onto the breach and into the fray
|
When I play...
|
|
There is comfort in the sun
|
And the earth is good and soft
|
Now my sail catch the wind send my chariot aloft
|
I am rounding all the parapets
|
As another city burns
|
Harvest all creation for its ominous return
|
And then well before dawn
|
In cover we've gone
|
|
Come Hell, come high water, come into me
|
Storm bring your flood waters, turn desert to sea
|
Destroy all my obstacles, whatever they be
|
Extinguish all light and fell every tree
|
Set me free!
|
|
Said a low branch touching the water
|
Feels the current's take
|
Said a mighty river bends her
|
But oh¡¦oh¡¦oh¡¦
|
But she won't break
|
Ain't gonna break anytime soon
|
|
Said a candle's flame she dances
|
A sudden tempest blows
|
She dwindles and dims against the cold, cold winds
|
And oh¡¦oh¡¦oh¡¦
|
And then she grows, she keeps growin and growin and growin
|
Somehow, I gotta come and see
|
Some way, she's familiar to me
|
Gently, she'd try and try and try
|
It amazes me
|
And I gotta find out why
|
|
Somehow, I gotta come and see
|
Some way, she's familiar to me
|
Gently, she'd try and try and try
|
It amazes me
|
And I gotta find out why
|
I¡¦I¡¦I¡¦I¡¦I¡¦
|
I may never understand her
|
Her secret is not to know
|
Nothing for me to do, with or for or to
|
But oh¡¦oh¡¦oh¡¦
|
I just love to watch her go
|
Said I love to watch her go
|
Gonna watch her go...
|
|
I am the river that bends the branch
|
I am the tempest that dwindles the flame
|
No one can stand the avalanche
|
The beast can be bargained but he can't be tamed
|
Balance and equilibrium lost
|
No one can hold me or alter my fate
|
The die casts love before the Rubicon crossed
|
Trying not to move, but momentum won't wait
|
It's too late...
|
|
There is comfort in the sun
|
And the earth is good and soft
|
Now my sail catch the wind send my chariot aloft
|
I am rounding all the parapets
|
As another city burns
|
Harvest all creation for its ominous return
|
And then well before dawn
|
In cover we've gone
|
|
She's all I ever wanted
|
Maybe now I'm wanting something more
|
So we start away, unto the new daylight undaunted
|
Maybe that is what the dawn is for
|
But you can't be sure...
