However you feel
Whatever it takes
Whenever it's real
Whatever awaits me
Whatever you need
However so light
Whenever it's real
Whenever it's right

[Chorus]
I've been thinking long and hard about the things you said to me
Like a bitter stranger
Now I see the long and short the middle and what's in between
I could spit on a stranger (Pull me out)
You're a bitter stranger (Pull me out)

Well I sat down next to a photograph
Tried my best almost made her laugh
She was my toughest crowd
There in the way was a moutain up in the clouds
Well I can't sleep and I'm not in love
I can't speak without messing up
Eye's tell of what's behind
And hers showed the way to a long and lonely climb
But through failure I'll proceed
And she'll see how far I've come

[Chorus]

There's a kind of emptiness that can fill you
There's a kind of hunger that can eat you up
There's a cold and darker side of the moonlight
And there's a lonely side of love

[Chorus]
With you here
Baby I am strong
No sign of weakness
With you gone
Baby I am hanging by a thread

There's a certain kind of pain that can numb you
There's a type of freedom that can tie you down

It's been a long time comin' and the card were stacked.
It's been a long hard road to hell and back.
Your love meant trouble from the day we met.
You won every hand, I lost every bet.

Now you'd think that I should've known better.
Now I think that I should've seen it come.
My heart sank when I read that letter.
It sank like a stone, it sank like a stone.

A cup of cold coffee, yesterday's mail.

One day you'll see her and you'll know what I mean.
Take her or leave her she will still be the same.
She'll not try to buy you with her time.
But nothing's the same, as you will see when she's gone.

It's foreign on this side,
And I'll not leave my home again.
There's no place to hide
And I'm nothing but scared.

You dream of colors that have never been made,

In a room full of people, all hanging on one person's breath.
We would all vote him most likely to be loved to death.
I hope he still wants it, but it might remind him of when,
He aimed for the bullseye and hit it nine times out of ten.

That one time his hand slipped and I saw, the dart sailed away.
I don't know where it landed, but I'm guessing between green and grey.

when shadows fall, he'll close his eyes
to hear the clocks unwind
powerless to leash the hands of time

kindoms fall, the earth revolves
the rain will come this spring
and nothing he could say would change a thing

seven wonders crowed the man
knowing six are gone
and how the great illusion lingers on

he cant enfold, the sun or moon
or wind within his hand

Well met, well met, said an old true love
well met, well met, said he
i just returned from the salt, salt sea
and its all for the love of thee

come in, come in, my own true love
and have a seat by me
its been three-fourths of a long, long year
since together we have been

i cant come in and i cant sit down
for ive only a moments time
they say youre married to a house carpenter

blue waters blue eyes color me
if any could come this close I'd let them see
get it out again and play 'em one more song
it's all they really want and who's to say that's wrong

ain't that what you want them to know
all they get of you is what they get out of the show
the rest is mine, I guess, the beauty and the mess
to hide

I pull myself under and down I go again

lonely the life, that once, i led
strange the paths, on which, we tread
led me to you, unlikely but true
sabra girl, clouding my view

rainy the day, the first time we met
deep was the talk, forever my debt
it didnt seem wrong, to sing a sad song
sabra girl, soon you'd be gone

early the morning, and sad the goodbye
with a wave of your hand and, a smile of your eye

Young and with no clue
Now I wanna love you
Give me the key to what it's about
Everything I've read
And everything you've said
Prove you're over my head
Help me climb out

[Chorus]
I know that you don't need nobody
Are you sure you're that sure about me

Hey what did I do
I've spoken too soon
Listen to this tune
Forget the words
Wait until someday
'Cause when I know what to say

Five years ago, you pressed your hand,
Into a brand new sidewalk.
It's well-worn now, and though some chime,
Yours is the only print there.
You might not have meant to, but
It's done you again, take it out.
You're shy about what fortune lent you.
Is that what this is about?

Smile while you can, 'cause when they find,
You're not a muse, not really.
They'll rob you blind, of what they gave.
