I never felt so close to you
I never been so far away
Whoa, and I know what you're going through
So is that all you can say to me
Is that all you can say to me?

Oh, I used to know you when
Yeah, but you turned your back on me
Oh hell, I just got turned around myself

Oh my land is like a wild goose
It wanders all around everywhere
Trembles and it shakes 'til every tree is loose
Rolls the meadows and it rolls the nails.

So take me down to your dance floor
I won't mind the people when they stare
Paint a different color on your front d

The ends of the earth
Are the lengths I would go to for you
For you
And the weight of the world
I'd lay upon my shoulders for you
For you
I'll do anything
You asked me to.

And when I'm asleep
I dream that I'm sleeping with you
With you
And when I awa

It took two hours to drive out of post-quake L.A.
Where the freeway is sliced up like sheet cake
Got new tires I'm not gonna worry
Got three days to go so I'm not in a hurry
Get into Tucson and what do I find
I'm having some trouble just keeping my mind
On the 10.

Yours were the first eyes I ever looked into
I can still see you standin' panicked in the driveway
It was one of those moments you save somebody drownin' in.

Deep in the summer whiter in the winter
And we had hearts made of plate glass maybe even thinner
And I can still see

Daddy was the eldest of ten
And my mama was an only child
She must've represented back then
The part of him that couldn't go wild
She was free
Something he could never be
'Cause daddy was the one
Who always took responsibility.

Darlin Darlin
Darlin Darlin
Darlin please.

Darlin Darlin
Darlin Darlin
Darlin Darlin
Darlin please
Darlin please.

I'm so afraid to go away
'Cause when I get back will everything have changed
And I alone will be around
To wonder wh

Nobody wants to do it alone
And everyone wants a happy home
But there's somethin' that no one needs
It strangles like a glove
Nobody wants a desperate love.

Someone to hold your hand
And tell your troubles to
Someone to hold you when you shake
When you're lovin'

Wooooh!

Don't do what I did
Don't do what I have done
Turning the world against ya
All in the name of having fun
You've got yourself to blame
You'll only feel ashamed
Like I do
Don't do what I did.

Don't do what I did
Don't break a beating heart

It's been a long haul
L.A. to LA
We've always done it our way
That's just how we are
Rolling off that mountain
Headed out for glory
I guess you heard the story
Man, we felt so strong
I never thought we'd laugh this long.

We are all drifters
Singers and s

The sheets on your windows won't hide or disguise
The heat of the moment or the look in your eyes
You buy innuendos and lies.

Please don't shout anymore
I can't stand to sit around
And watch you walk out my door.

Show some sense and respect
Learn to cope and get o

This heart needs a home
To keep it from stumbling
Out in the street
To keep it from suffering
A night without sleep
To keep it from dying.

Just a home with a room
To keep out the lightening
When it's thundering down
And the words grab the anger
And come

I'm driving down the highway of the saints
Keepin' an eye on a friend of mine
Who wishes no complaints
When all her strength had left her
And hope it become thin
Now I'm driving down the highway of the saints.

The sun is up and no one's in the field
The temperature

Oh, I try and I try but I can't say "Goodbye".

Feels so bad, baby, oh it hurts me
When I think of how you love and desert me
I'm a broken hearted toy you're playin' with baby
You got me going (I think that I know baby), I need you baby
I can't let go (I really want you baby

Now you know me
And you know how proud I am
And what I'm gonna tell you now
It won't be easy to say.

Before I left your side
Ooh, I was so happy there
And I've been so lonely
Since I've been away.

Hoo, baby, well I tried and I know
I can't make it alone

Business as usual usually goes
All the way always and never means no
You shoot past the mountains on en route to the store
There's no time, no windows for us anymore
Once there were hours of just sitting still
And there will be, there will be
Starting right now there is t

In the back of the dimly lit room
Stands a woman alone or so you'd assume
But there to her right, all through the night
Stands her invisible boyfriend.

I watch her turn and then smile at the air
Half way expectin' to see him right there
And when he's not her face just d

Ha! Ha!

Sometimes I lose my faith
Sometimes I lose my way back home
When my communion's done
Sometimes my strengths have been atoned.

But hardly ever does it feel
Like the part of it that's real
Is the part that holds the rope
That's when we live on love

Near the dawn she crept in
Sittin' on the edge of a bed made up to look like it'd been slept in
And it was dark where I was lyin'
But I could see her face
It looked like she'd been cryin'.

And it's a long, long journey home.

I drink my coffee by the door
And watch

Well, I could be persuaded, yes I could
Ask me very nicely if I would
Wait to get an answer (and you will)
Wait a little longer 'til you get my bill.

Time is of the essence, all in all
Catch me at my weakest, up against the wall
Of good intentions, which were mine
