I thought you'd leave me but you never tried
I thought you'd gone and left me here to die
On and on you keep staying by my side
But it’s me it’s me who’s going for a ride
Don’t leave me now, don’t leave me then
Don’t leave me now, don’t leave me then
Don’t leave me now, don’t leave me then
Don’t leave me now, now
There’s a road that leads me off to distant lands
It’s getting late and I have muddy hands
There’s a northern light that shines up on that hill
I’m headed there to be with you my dear
I’m standing in the middle of a sea
That washes over all and passes me
I’m pushing hard against the tides of time
So i can see you as forever mine
Won’t leave you now, don’t leave me then
I thought you'd leave me but you never tried
I thought you'd gone and left me here to die
On and on you keep staying by my side
But it’s me it’s me who’s going for a ride

I’m pushing hard against the tides of time
So i can see you as forever mine
I’m standing in the middle of a sea

What I want is what I see
And what I see gets a hold of me
Then I have, then I want
Doesn't need to make sense to me
All I have cannot be seen
It's in the way of what belongs to me
Almost have I almost have
I almost have 'cause it's what I need
What I want ain't what I need
Put inside my little mind and I believe
What I want ain't what I need
Put inside my little mind and I believe
Give me all that I can see
No it's never enough for me
I am blind and I can't see
That this ain't at all even about me
What I want ain't what I need
Put inside my little mind and I believe
What I want ain't what I need
Put inside my little mind and I believe
And what I see gets a hold of me
Then I have, then I want

There in my hands, a touch of red and an illusion that paints my stinging eyes
Can't seem to break this hardened ground, now I am warmed by the coals on which I lay
Why would I try to stop you, I only know a little bit
I'm going to stay and love you, I hope that you'll be seeing it
I pray that nothing keep you from knowing all the truth of it someday
Concern, oh please, concern the lair of cozy delusion and wake me from its boat
All that you got, paid for and bought, can't add up to the cost of what's been sold
Why would I try to stop you, I only know a little bit
I'm going to stay and love you, I hope that you'll be seeing it
I pray that nothing keep you from knowing all the truth of it someday
Why would I try to stop you, I only know a little bit

If all I see is trouble you can blame that part on me
I'm broken without you you're a part of me
You must know that you light my world
You’re shining so bright that I can see between the lines
You’re everything I hoped for
You fade all of the cold darkness and make it all ok
Don't go

I'm coming home to my lady, still got a long way to go
I'm coming home to my darling, still got a long way to go
If you could wire me some money, well well, I'll be home
Been stuck down in Louisiana, trying to buy my way home
Too bad that all my bridges burned down, I'm so close to alone
If you could wire me some money, well well, I'll be home
If you could wire me some money, well, hell baby I'll be home
I'm coming home to my darling, still got a long way to go
If you could wire me some money, well well, I'll be home

If you could wire me some money, well, hell baby I'll be home
I've got a woman, so good to me
That makes me crazy, crazy lucky
Out from the darkness, you gave me light
And I've been thinking it over
I'm crazy lucky
I'm crazy lucky
I've got a woman, so good to me
I think i'm crazy, crazy lucky
I've got a woman, and she's a mother
Yeah she's a mother
And she's hot
Yeah she's hot
That makes me crazy, crazy lucky
Out from the darkness, you gave me light
And I've been thinking it over
I'm crazy lucky
I'm crazy lucky
I've got a woman, so good to me
I think i'm crazy, crazy lucky
I've got a woman, and she's a mother
Yeah she's a mother
And she's hot
Yeah she's hot
I've got a feeling that the sun will rise again
So something special like the deep within a stain
I've heard about some rising, a heat that thaws stone hearts
I cannot see what I am now seeing
Throw down yourself
Give me feeling, give me sight
I know I need to see in that light
Far from that distance which keeps every world away, no more alone
And when I hold the meaning, the words turn into life
It means that my grave is already empty
Throw down, throw down, throw down yourself
So something special like the deep within a stain
I've heard about some rising, a heat that thaws stone hearts
I cannot see what I am now seeing
Throw down yourself
Give me feeling, give me sight
I know I need to see in that light
Far from that distance which keeps every world away, no more alone
And when I hold the meaning, the words turn into life
It means that my grave is already empty
Throw down, throw down, throw down yourself
Just one word from you
Keeps me rocking
Keeps me rolling
The whole day through the whole day through
And one thing for sure
I’m not moving
No I’m not moving
Till you say so, till you say go
Do all the things you say
And now I’m living
Now I’m alive
Yes I’m alive
Even the stones are crying out, even the stones are crying out
He’s alive
The King is alive
Even the stones are crying out, even the stones are crying out
He’s alive
The King is alive
I’m living day by day
It keeps me steady
And keeps me ready
Being willing to love
All I have to give
Is all my notions
And keep emotions
At the foot of my lord
And when the Sוn will rise
There will be sunshine
All night
All night
Even the stones are crying out Even the stones are crying out
He’s alive
The king is alive
Even the stones are crying out Even the stones are crying out
He’s alive
The king is alive
Keeps me rocking
Keeps me rolling
The whole day through the whole day through
And one thing for sure
I’m not moving
No I’m not moving
Till you say so, till you say go
Do all the things you say
And now I’m living

I see the light of day
Though it is dark outside
Now not so far away
Enough to be my guide
Over and over
I'm gonna carry on
Though I've no bags to my name
All I've got is my peace
And you can have even that
Go on and love away
Give your love away
Over and over
And I can see not so far away
I can see the light of day
'Cause I can't go and you can know
Nothing hold back, no more hold back
But the one that sent me forth
Knows my name that I will live until I die
Over and over
I'm gonna carry on
Though I've no bags to my name
All I've got is my peace

I've been waiting for this moment all my life, for too long
I look for light in a world of darkness

Beautiful, out here on this starry night
I can't hold in my delight
'Cause I'm here now with my girl and she's mine
Wonderful, to share is such a pretty sight
But to have is to take flight
'Cause I'm here now with my girl and she's mine
And now, I feel the warmness of the sun
And now, and for me life has just begun
And I'm not the only one
And now, now love surrounds me like a storm
And now, love has lost any of its form
'Cause I'm not the only one
Beautiful, out here on this starry night
I can't hold in my delight
'Cause I'm here now with my girl and she's mine
Wonderful, to share is such a pretty sight

'Cause I'm not the only one
I wasn't afraid of what you did
Nor was afraid of what you said
Just want to keep my dignity
And please just keep from misery
I'm going, going on my way
They try to stop the words I say
Death's name is written on my head
The dirty ground makes up my bed
You spoke some things so long ago
About some things I'll never know
Their ears are plugged I see it's so
They will not hear I want to go
I tried to keep from saying your name
But burning deep your name's a flame
Nor was afraid of what you said
Just want to keep my dignity
And please just keep from misery
I'm going, going on my way
They try to stop the words I say
Death's name is written on my head
The dirty ground makes up my bed
You spoke some things so long ago
About some things I'll never know
Their ears are plugged I see it's so
They will not hear I want to go
I tried to keep from saying your name
But burning deep your name's a flame
