Book Of Shadows lyrics

If I could I surely would

Child ease your pain,

But if I could no longer

Would you still know my name?

If I couldn't drain the tears
That pour from these eyes

Would you turn your back on me

Would you wave goodbye?

(Chorus)

Or leave me way beyond empty inside

Awaiting my last day to arrive

Way beyond empty inside

Awaiting my end to arrive

If I couldn't be the shoulder

I see you across the room

Search for some happiness, ain't anytime soon

Turmoil has turned you inside
Sift through your pages of miracles you wish to find

Chorus

When you're too numb to cry

And you're just left wondering "why?"

When you're too numb to cry

And you're just left wondering "why?"

To change in the blink of an eye

You couldn't feel the sunlight upon your face

Your little world, a little out of place

You couldn't hear the ocean, you couldn't hear the waves

I know you meant to come back, I know you meant to stay
All you touched All you know

All you loved - yeah

You're just throwin' it all away

No you didn't care to see the light of day

You're just throwin' it all away

Color my world all black & blue

The hell you dish out

Comes back three-fold to you
Inside your riddled rotten core

I hope you get what you deserve

Worse, and even more

even more, even more

(Chorus)

How could you do the things you do?

You make Satan look like Christ, I swear its true

How could you do the things you do?

How could you do, the things you do?

I recall when you once said

"There's truth in both of us

And all that lies ahead."

I take it your tongue,
It just got twisted,

Or maybe it got tired,

Or maybe your memory waved goodbye.

When your so-called friends forget your name

When your so-called friends, they aint the same

When your so-called friends, they've lost their way

Without you, woman, by my side

I'm contemplating suicide, torn from all my pride

A man tells me, "son, that ain't the way

Gonna make a deal with you child,
Gonna live another day

Just sign right here, son

Everything will be alright"

(Chorus)

Ain't nothing I wouldn't do

All and everything for you

Your love is all I know and ever knew

I look around I see that time ain't changed

Same old faces, Same old names

All the things we thought we knew

You lied to me & I lied to you

(Now) All this time

You never sympathize

All this time

I can't find my way back inside

What you give is what you get

But you drew the line on me baby

Tears falling free but you can't see (child)

I'm just a touch away baby

Chorus

All for you,

Everlasting love forever, skies of blue

All in your heart,
Never ending, just a means for start

(Chorus)

Comfort in your eyes

For the warmth inside your smile

Faith's done gone astray

It was you who made living all worth the while

I thank you my child

It was you who made living all worth the while

I thank you my child

With the touch of your hand

It'll leave you with nothin' to say

Lost without a way

Ain't it funny, child,
Love sometimes leaves you as dead as yesterday

Hoping to hold a handful of sunshine

Like a child told it cannot play

Never ever figured, Lord, love would leave me feeling

As dead as yesterday

Oh Lord, could you help me find some shelter?

Oh Lord, could you help me find some shelter?

Dying to live, living to die

Ain't no hellos here, nothing but goodbyes

It's like singing a song that cannot be sung
It's like having to end, child,

what's yet to have begun

(Chorus)

Hey, hey, hey now

Where I am at times I just can't tell

Hey, hey, hey, now

I'm lost somewhere Between Heaven and Hell

All that you know and all that you knew

Sailing across my ocean, I'm sailing across my sea

I fill it up with hope, Lord, I drown in empty misery

Sailin' across my heaven, I'm sailing across my star

Until I find the voice I've been hearing in my head
Forever couldn't be too far, Forever couldn't be too far, yeah

Oh it couldn't be to far, Oh it couldn't be to far

The cold wind blows like a leaf on a tree

Sittin' sippin' sorrow

It's gone straight to my head

I say the pain shall come and it shall go

A friend once said
You ain't livin' for no God, no

You be livin' for the dollar sign

I say a frown upon your maker's face

You shall find

So, oh, so much wrong

You have tried, oh yeah

I waited far, lord, far too long, yeah

(Chorus)

Talking about your Evil Ways

Come, Take My Hand

Let Us Walk For A While

Your burden of pain
Replaced with a smile

Never So Far, Only So Close

As you melt in your false cradle below

(Chorus)

For The Peddlers Of Death

Always Come Calling One More Time

Bearing promises of feeling fine

(Chorus)

So called friends

are running loose

Draining you whole

'Til you're of no use

We were friends

Yet never all that close

Two different people, lord

I guess, yeah, I suppose
Well I could see by the lines on your face

So much on your mind

Searchin' for someone, anyone, something to treat you kind, oh yeah

(Chorus)

I hope you found what you were lookin' for

'Cause I haven't seen your face around here no more

When did life become a chore?
