Flowers In The Dirt [Bonus Tracks] lyrics

WHAT IS THIS THING IN LIFE
THAT PERSUADES ME TO SPEND TIME AWAY FROM YOU?
IF YOU CAN ANSWER THIS, YOU CAN HAVE THE MOON.
THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE,
ANYWAY YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A LOVELY VIEW.
WHY ARE THERE ALWAYS SO MANY OTHER THINGS TO DO?

DISTRACTIONS,
LIKE BUTTERFLIES ARE BUZZING 'ROUND MY HEAD,
WHEN I'M ALONE, I THINK OF YOU
AND THE LIFE WE'D LEAD IF WE COULD ONLY BE FREE

I'm, I'm
FLYING TO MY HOME,
Home,
FLYING TO MY HOME.
Home, home, home

THE SUN IS FADING IN THE WEST,
OUT WHERE THE CATTLE ROAM.
I'M LIKE A BIRD AT THE END OF THE DAY,
FLYING TO MY HOME.
I'M FLYING TO MY HOME, SWEET MAJESTY,
I'M FLYING TO MY HOME.

UH.

THE SKY IS LIKE A PAINTED FLAG,
ABOVE A SEA OF CHROME.
I'VE GOT A WOMAN LIVING IN MY LIFE,
LIVING IN MY HOME.

My brave, my brave, my brave face.

I've been living in style,
Unaccustomed as I am
To the luxury life,
I've been hitting the town
And it didn't hit back.

I've been doing the rounds
Unaccustomed as I am
To the time on my hands,
Now I don't have to tell anybody
When I'm going to get back.

Ever since you went away
I've had this sentimental inclination
Not to change a single thing,

Give me your hand,
I'd like to shake it,
I want to show you I'm your friend.
You'll understand,
If I can make it clear,
It's all that matters in the end.
Put it there,
If it weights a ton,
That's what a father says to his young son.
I don't care,
If it weights a ton,
As long as you and I are here, put it there.
Long as you and I are here, put it there
If there's a fight,
I'd like to fix it,

Did I Ever Take You In My Arms,
Look You In The Eye, Tell You That I Do,
Did I Ever Open Up My Heart
And Let You Look Inside.

If I Never Did It, I Was Only Waiting
For A Better Moment That Didn't Come.
There Never Could Be A Better Moment
Than This One, This One.

The Swan Is Gliding Above The Ocean,
A God Is Riding Upon His Back,
How Calm The Water And Bright The Rainbow
