I woke up with this feeling
There was something I needed to say
So I wrote you a song

Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on

I will answer the wind
I will leave with the tide
I'll be out on the road
Every chance I can ride

Here I am, on the road again
There I am, on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page

Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
All of my hopes, fading away
I've longed for love, like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching, even after today

And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live

It's been coming on so long
You were just the last to know
It's been a long time since you've smiled
Seems like oh so long ago

In this dirty old part of the city.
Where the sun refused to shine.
People tell me it ain't no use in tryin.
My little girl you're so young and pretty,
And one thing I know is true.
You gonna die before your time is due.

A long time ago- you were breakin'
My heart- I never found all the parts
A long time ago-a long time ago
A long time ago-oh-oh-oh

Well, I really don't mind the rain
And a smile can hide all the pain
But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way
And I dream of the things I'll do

Sometimes it's like, someone took a knife baby edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my soul

Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me

Another night slowly closes in and I feel so lonely
Touching heat freezing on my skin I pretend you still hold me
I'm going crazy I'm losing sleep I'm in too far
I'm in way too deep over you
I can't believe you're gone

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home.

I try so hard not to get upset
Because I know all the trouble I'll get
Oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
and something to fear-eh-eh
And I try so hard to keep it inside
so no one can hear

I had to escape
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you

So please play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry-y-y-y
A real hurtin' song about a love that's gone wrong
'cause I don't want to cry all alone

Until you've been beside a man
You don't know what he wants
You don't know if he cries at night
You don't know if he don't

And I remember what she said to me
how she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

The trick, you said, was never play the game too long.
A gambler's share, the only risk that you would take,
The only loss you could forsake,
The only bluff you couldn't fake.

Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you

Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe
There's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return

Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

Doesn't that mean anything
If I threw away my pride
And I got down on my knees
Would I have to beg you, "pretty please"

You don't have to like someone
To love someone
That rule was made to be broken

From the look upon your face I see it's true
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go

How am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone

Will you ever take me?
No I just can't take the pain
Would you ever trust me?
No I'll never feel the same

But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.

Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched and went our separate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched and went our separate ways

Deep inside the forest is a door into another land,
Here is our life and home,
We are staying, here forever in the beauty of this place all alone,
We keep on hoping...
Maybe, there's a world where we won't have to run, and
Maybe, there's a time we'll call our own,
Living free in harmony and majesty,
Take me home,
Take me home.

When my mind plays
these tricks on me
It shows me things
I don't want to see
That's why I tell myself
I keep telling myself
just take another piece of me

Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
And all the world will love you just as long,
As long as you are.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

It is the night. My body's weak.
I'm on the run. No time to sleep.
I've got to ride. Ride like the wind
to be free again

I've got nowhere left to go
And no one really cares
I don't know what to do
But I'm never giving up on you

I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song

I can't get any rest
People say I'm obsessed
Everything you say is lies
But to me there's no surprise
What I had for you was true
Things go wrong, they always do

There you stood
Everybody watched you play
I just turned and walked away
I had nothing left to say

No one ever looked my way or knew that I was there
I kept walking and the rain kept raining
Until all the streets were bare

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows

There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you

If I could change your mind,
I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break your heart

I won't disturb the slumber
of feelings that have died
If I never loved
I never would have cried

I dreamed I was dying in Texas
I closed my eyes and I sighed
Like a black and white movie I saw my days
Playing out before my eyes
I was crippled by a life of injustice
I was bent from walking into the wind
I pled guilty on the day of judgment
God just shook my hand and grinned


How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

some silicon sister
with a manager mister
told me I got what it takes

love bites, love bleeds
It's taking me to my knees

I know you're out there somewhere

Can you read my mind?
Take a good look at my face.
Could you take the time?
Just to stand here in my place?

Have you ever needed someone so bad?
Have you ever needed someone you just couldn't have?
