Well, September comes around like an old familiar friend
So I take off to Central Park to watch those falling leaves again
And in the arbors of Strawberry Fields, in a night as bright as day
I look up at the sky and wish I could fly away

And I say I know this life won't last forever
But wherever you go these days
I'm with you all the way
And I say I know your time and mine together

For so long, you've gone on
Trying to see an end to it all
But I know that your grip, is getting loose
And you think, if you leave
The pain will go away, but you don't know what you need
To get through
'Cuz I can tell by the things you say, that your feelings will never change
You keep coming back to what you think is real
'Cuz it's ok to wanna be free
And it's ok, to spread your wings

No Krishna, Buddha, Jesus in my soul
'Til the sun breaks through again
Down into nothing as I lose myself
In the perfections of Zen
She said: I got the answer
I said: I'm curious, can you write that down my friend
It said there's nothing in the real world
So why should we pretend zero?

Godhead
We got nothing
We got everything

I took a page out of Unpunished
And I flew a paper plane

All I ever wanted was to get away
And spend some time alone
To a big house in the country
To a private yacht with Wall St. on the phone
And in a million dollar paradise
Maybe I could sing a better song

But I've found something different now
And I finally understand
That money gets you everything
But it slips straight through your hands

And it's love that makes the world go round

Well I come home in the evening
To the same old house alone
And in the silence of these empty rooms
I take shelter from the storm
But I brought a paint box
And some brushes to pass the time
Since you've been gone
It's a portrait of a broken man
And the colors always run

A figure in a landscape
It's a work of art, you'll see
A figure in a landscape
It's a masterpiece of loneliness, that's me

There's something in you... child
A mystery that I can't define
But it blows my mind
I'm walking on air... with you
A kite in the sky
Without a care
It's something we share
And all of these clues
Lead me to you

Hey!... I'm so surprised
Everything that fills my eyes
Is about you and this new thing
Hey! Is it really true
Everything I say and do
Is about you and this new thing... lo'

There's diamonds in the avenue
As the dayshift turns to night
In the Empire dinner dreaming
Hard rain, fluorescent lights
As the waitress fills my coffee cup
And the working girls go by
Drenched Irish Cops are dreaming sex
And peep show alibis

Everything underneath the skyline
From the east side to the west
I see the miracles in real time
And there's one I've loved the best

I know you're someone's daughter
You know I'm somebody's son
We spent our lives until this moment
Looking for the special one
Nobody gave us the directions
To this life we have to live
Although we've both been taken
We've got so much left to give

So much left to give

I know it's right behind me
The blue highway that I've run
It led me here to find you

Thinking about old times
Thinking about the things we said
All the worthless games and lies
I'm looking at myself
And the mirror's unkind
You're inside my mind
And you're outside my eyes

And I'm looking for something
That's real in my life, something true, yeah!
And I'm looking for something to hold on to
But I guess it won't be you

Thinking about
Thinking about

We've seen a lifetime since we met
Through good and bad
And things we won't forget
Forgotten promises and broken vows
But we always made it through somehow
But the key to you is broken in the lock
And a simple band of gold is all we've got

It's in the things that I can't say
That tear us both apart
But if you keep listening
You'll hear inside my heart of hearts

Face of an Angel, pretty eyes that shine
I lie awake at night wishin' you were mine
I'm standing here holding the biggest heartache in town
Whenever you come around

I get a weak in the knees
And I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but I can't find the words ***
I'm half scared to death
'Cos when you smile that smile
My world turns upside down (yeah)
Whenever you come around
