hear me out
day follows day
light turns to clay in my hands
how to explain,
so pristine the pain
it was kindness made the cut so clean
I still care for you
Hear me out
you wanted me to be
less your love than a mirror
can't you see
what you mean to me?
(even promises may bleed)
I still care for you
The hours grow
heavy,
and hollow,
cruel as a grave
open
me
and you'll find
only bones burned to glass.
I still care for you
It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye
Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye
Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye
When I look up from my pillow I dream you are there with me.
Though you are far away I know you'll always be near to me.
I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.
I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.
I look around me and feel you are ever so close to me.
Each tear that flows from my eyes brings back memories of you to me.
I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.
I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.
I was wrong, I will cry, I will love you to the day I die.
You alone, you alone and no one else, you were meant for me.
When morning comes once more I have the loneliness you left me.
Each day drags by until finally night time descends on me.
I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.
I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me
Babe, baby, baby, I'm gonna leave you.
I said baby, you know I'm gonna leave you.
I'll leave you when the summertime,
Leave you when the summer comes a-rollin'
Leave you when the summer comes along.
Baby, baby, I don't wanna leave you,
I ain't jokin' woman, I got to ramble.
Oh, yeah, baby, baby, I believin',
We really got to ramble.
I can hear it callin' me the way it used to do,
I can hear it callin' me back home!
Babe...I'm gonna leave you
Oh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave you
Oh I can hear it callin 'me
I said don't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do?
I know I never never never gonna leave you babe
But I got to go away from this place,
I've got to quit you, yeah
Baby, ooh don't you hear it callin' me?
Woman, woman, I know, I know
It feels good to have you back again
And I know that one day baby, it's really gonna grow, yes it is.
We gonna go walkin' through the park every day.
Come what may, every day
It was really, really good.
You made me happy every single day.
But now... I've got to go away!
Baby, baby, baby, baby
That's when it's callin' me
I said that's when it's callin' me back home...
Why do let me stay here?
All by myself
Why don't you come and play here?
I'm just sitting on the shelf
Why don't you sit right down and stay awhile?
We like the same things and I like your style
It's not a secret, why do you keep it
I'm just sitting on the shelf
I get to get your presence
lets make it know
I think you're just so pleasant
I would like you for my own
Why don't you sit right down and make me smile? (uh huh)
You make me feel like I am just a child
Why do you edit?
Just give me credit
I'm just sitting on the shelf
Someone's always coming around here trailing some new kill
Says, "I seen your picture on a hundred dollar bill"
And what's a game of chance to you, to him is one of real skill
So glad to meet you
Angeles
Picking up the ticket shows there's money to be made
Go on and lose the gamble, that's the history of the trade
You add up all the cards left to play to zero
And sign up with evil
Angeles
Don't start me trying now
Because I'm all over it
Angeles
I could make you satisfied in everything you do
All your "secret wishes" could right now be coming true
And be forever with my poison arms around you
No one's going to fool around with us
No one's going to fool around with us
So glad to meet you
Angeles
Talkin to the songbird yesterday
flew me to a place not far away
shes a little pilot in my mind
singin songs of love to pass the time
gonna write a song so she can see
give her all the love she gives to me
talk of better days that have yet to come
never felt this love for anyone
shes not anyone
a man can never dream these kind of things
especially when she came and spread her wings
whispered in my ear the things id like
then she flew away into the night
gonna write a song so she can see
give her all the love she gives to me
talk of better days that have yet to come
never felt this love from anyone
shes not anyone
shes not anyone
shes not anyone
