I know it's been a long road
To get these towns behind me and I
Will gladly reap what we may sow I am
There for you and you're there for me

Pictures and photographs
Memories and windows
Goodbyes and epitaphs
Heartbeats and hellos

[Chorus]
Are you waiting for
Heart in hand
Woman and man
See me where I stand I am
Heart
Heart in hand

These fields may hold a hunting ground

An old man lying by the road
Black is night
He's got his finger on the trigger
An easy target in sight
He's got no future, no family tree
He's got a three dollar bottle
And he drinks 'till he can't see
All night, all night.....

A young girl waiting on a line
Eight a.m., she's got a six month old burden
Willpower's withering thin
An unwed mother beaten by her trade

Hold my thoughts I'm at an impasse
Past the place I stopped before
The sweeper's sweeping fragments
Of my head out the door

And the ice it burns upon my forehead
The calmness starts to scream
Must I always hold the upright
When my soul longs to dream

[Chorus:]
Is it too much to find an answer
Is it too much to hold you close
Is it too much to find a reason
Is it too much to free my soul

Oh I know
That things are gonna change
The only thing for certain
Is that nothing stays the same
But all I want
Is love from you
Give me your hand
To hold on to
And if tears fill your eyes
Listen to my music it's no surprise

[Chorus:]
I don't want to be famous in life
I don't want to be famous in the world
I just want to be famous
Famous
I want to be famous in your heart

Oh I know

And the man who would be Santa slips into the room
And the hour of daylight's yet to come but he hopes they don't wake too soon
All the presents wrapped in paper and tied with a bow
The children sleep upstairs and Santa works below
And he can hear the children dreaming

[Chorus]
And he says
All I want is for you to have
A life you love and live
Take from me all I have to give

We started out so brand new darling
But now it seems that nothing can change your mind
I have seen your city lights
But have you seen my country skies

Watch the world go twirling by

And perhaps it's common fears
Or uncommon hearts
That makes us insincere
And torn apart

But when will I learn
Love is just my fantasy disguised

[Chorus]
An angel without wings can hardly fly

It seems you're feeling down
You don't know how long
But you know you don't like it
Lost in your room

It seems you're feeling tired
You don't know what from
One too many parties
Makeup hides the wounds

[Chorus]
Answer me
Giving up won't get you out
Can't you hear me
Come and leave this room of doubt
Answer me

It seems you're feeling scared
You don't know how come
Hiding in the shadows

Cut it down go put it away
Take an inside look on the outside
Another day

Take time look at the sunshine
Have mine it's better on you anyway

Nobody's perfect all the time
But I know you
And you know me
And it's alright

I'm waking up gonna buy me some shoes
Take a long walk out of the hindsight start anew

Look around maybe buy a new topcoat
Stop moping the rain's gonna rain through

I saw a young man by a telephone
He was sitting alone in the rain
I said, "Hey, young man what you doing here"
He said, "Sir, I'm going insane"

See I love an American beauty
But nobody here understands
So he looked to the sky with resentment in his eyes
And said, "Lord, why am I in Japan"
Lord why am I in Japan

He told me a story about yesterday
How he walked in the search of a friend

I saw an open door and I looked inside it
But I'd no idea
What you were hiding

So now I'm holding the bag
And it's heavy
And the conversation stopped
So much for friendly

And if I told you I was not very good
At making small talk when I should
But you have one advantage over me
At times like this I'm lost at sea

[Chorus]
Why can't I see it for what it really is

Open the window
Let the sunset in
If only for the last time
Let me see you smile again

I'll take my records
You can have your books
I'm sorry I never read them
But it says so much about us

Always trying
To make love out of care
The perfect recipe
But something wasn't there

[Chorus:]
Sunrays and Saturdays
Perfect starry nights
Sweet dreams and moonbeams
And a love that's warm and bright

[Chorus]
And even though I'm right behind you
Shadows haunt and taunt your hand
I cannot be your everything
But I'll be your candyman

You move a sudden grace, a child upon the Earth
You wanted love to find you but you found it first

[Chorus]

We look through antiques on a fuzzy, fuzzy day
But you always know just what you want
Want right away

[Chorus]

And though you cry at night

Where does the time go
Spinning my wheels
Standing still
It's like running on ice
I only gain a little distance when I fall
How did I become a molecule
In the concrete of this city
Indifferent to my endless motion
In a space too small to see
Nonetheless expected to be
I only get a little attention when I fall

[Chorus:]
And I'm falling
Falling down
Falling
Falling down

Cursed with reason

Goodnight my sun
Goodnight my friend
Rest your soul at this
Long day's end

The fire inside
Will warm our night
And daddy's arms will
Hold you tight

Dream of summer skies
Sunset is bound to each sunrise
Rest is your first right
My friend goodnight

This world spinning
Time always winning
The silver chains keep thinning and
This is just your beginning

Sleep my friend
At last be free
