The Eleventh Hour lyrics

[verse]
If I was your love
I would want only you
I'd lay at this alter
Give all I am, all that is true

[chorus]
And this old scarlet letter won't
Keep me from holding you
And there is nothing you can do
Nothing you do
Nothing you do

[verse]
For love I have scaled the face
Of these kingdom walls
So let down your hair
Let our kiss make fools of them all

[chorus]

Nothing you do
Nothing you do

[verse]
Trace the shape of my heart
Till it becomes more familiar
To your eyes
I've been lost without you
Cold without your love
It's taken days and nights
To make me realize

[chorus]
Rescue me from hanging on this line
I won't give up on giving you
The chance to blow my mind
Let the eleventh hour quickly
Pass me by
I'll find you when I think
I'm out of time

[verse]
Take the place of my heart

[verse]
Have you ever been haunted
The way I've been by you
And have you ever felt
The measure of the days
That I've spent waiting
Pining for you

[chorus]
I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel Your breath
For the wind
I don't want to step from
Thes shadows
Till you're comin' back again

[verse]
I've dammed these emotions
To keep my lanterns lit
Shaken by this longing

[verse]
Take
Take till there's nothing
Nothing to turn to
Nothing when you get through
Won't you break
Scattered pieces of all I've been
Bowing to all I've been
Running to
Where are you
Where are you

[verse]
Did you leave me unbreakable
You leave me frozen
I've never felt so cold
I thought you were silent
And I thought you left me
For the wreckage and the waste
On an empty beach of faith

[verse]
All her wants to fill a need
She wants to save you with
Her bandages after she makes
You bleed
Like a vampire, a parasite
Stretch the necks of her victims
She finds her prey in broad
Daylight
So when you're up, she's down
You're down, she's up
It whips around, it's the ride
The way that she needs it

[chorus]
Whatever she wanted
For whatever you need
Speechless and silent

[verse]
Not much for conversation
I still find need to pray
Sometimes I get tired of walking
Through these ordinary days
If nothing else I get to see you
Even if we never speak
The harm of words though sometimes
We don't quite know
What they really mean

[chorus]
I don't know where
I don't know how
I don't know why
But your love can make
These things better

[verse]

[verse]
I watch you smile
You steal the show
You take a bow
The curtain falls in front of you
You're magical, on display
I gaze into your eyes and
You turn to look the other way

[chorus]
But I'd really love to know
I'd really love to climb
My way into your heart
And see what I could find
I'd walk into your skin
Swim through your veins
See it from your eyes
I'd really love to try...yeah

[verse]

[verse]
Peace takes a taxi
To the underground
I wanna love the world
But I don't know how
Blame it on the d.j.
Playin' all the fast songs
Ain't spinnin' anything
That I can sing along

[chorus]
So if you know the words
Then try to sing along
And when you get the beat
Grab a hammer, bang a gong
Cuz you don't got to fight
Or make yourself belong
To be a revolution, yeah
To be a revolution

[verse]
Strangely out of place
There's a light filling this room
Where none would follow before
I can't deny it burns me up inside
I fan the flames to melt
Away my pride
Do I want shelter from the rain
Or the rain to wash me way

[chorus]
I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you, I need you
You're all I'm living for

[verse]
I might sound like a fool

[verse]
If you put your arms around me
Could it change the way I feel
I guess I let myself believe
That the outside might just
Bleed it's way in
Maybe stir the sleeping past
Lying under glass
Waiting for the kiss
That breaks this awful spell
Pull me out...of this lonely cell

[chorus]
Close my eyes and hold my heart
Cover me and make me something
Change this something normal

[verse]
Be still
Let your hand melt into mine
The part of me
That breathes when you breathe
Is losing time
I can't find the words to say
I'll never say goodbye

[chorus]
And I'll fly with you
Through the night so you know
I'm not letting go
I'm not letting go
Tears like rain fill up the sky
Oh my love
I'm not letting go
I won't let you go

[verse]
I saw a host of silent angels
