See the little girl all alone  
not facing anyone?  
Well she comes out here  
in the night sometimes, all alone  
She’s wondering,  
how everything can fall apart so fast  
And how funny it seems,  
that yesterday was never meant to last.  
She walks out on the corner  
Steps right up to a man who knows her name  
Thought that she was older  
And thinks he’s gonna take her home to burn.  
Spends her days walking in the park  
with the feeling of the sun & the wind in her hair  
Doesn’t like the touch of the cold hand,  
his breath or that frozen stare.  
And she’d wash everyday  
if the soap could take away the pain  
But the stains don’t ever go away  
or get clean

And oh I just fall in love again  
Just one touch and then it happens every time

Was it love or just the idea of being in love?  
Was it the hand of fate that seemed to fit just like a glove?

Put your hand in the hand of the Man that stilled the water  
Put your hand in the hand of the Man that calmed the sea

Jesus, lover of my soul,  
Let me to Thy bosom fly,  
While the nearer waters roll,  
While the tempest still is high.  
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,  
Till the storm of life is past;  
Safe into the haven guide;  
Oh, receive my soul at last.

Across the sea lies the fountain of renewal,  
Where you will find the whole cause of your loneliness  
Can be measured in dreams that transcend all these lies

And I wish and I pray that there may come a day for a saviour’s arms  
For a saviour’s arms  
For a saviour’s arms  
For a saviour’s arms

Leaning, leaning  
Safe and secure from all alarms  
Leaning, leaning  
Leaning on the everlasting arms

Lay down your arms and surrender to me.  
Oh, lay down your arms and love me peacefully, yeah.  
Use your arms for squeezing and pleasing the one that loves you so.  
Oh, there ain’t no reason for you to declare war on the one who loves you so.

Anna comes and goes in shadows  
Paintings of the open windows  
Her photograph is always faded  
Her sister’s eyes are blank and shaded  
Don’t you understand her science  
Merging in a strange alliance to her

We’re together in the future  
You and I and her together  
All our fates are intermingled  
We are plural, we are single

We are leaving for a meeting  
And last seen the weather sleeting for her

Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older  
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder  
You’d been to the station to meet every train  
And you came home without Lili Marlene

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life  
And when she came back she was nobody’s wife.

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth  
One more thin gypsy thief  
Well I see Jane’s awake

She sends her regards.  
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer  
What can I possibly say?  
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you  
I’m glad you stood in my way.

I gave you the warning  
But you never heeded it  
How can you say you miss my lovin  
When you never needed it

You’re gonna wake up wonderin’  
Find yourself all alone  
But what’s gonna stop me, baby?  
I’m not comin’ home  
I’m not comin’ home  
I’m not comin’ home

And I wonder if you know that I never understood that although you said you’d go, until you did, I never thought you would.

It used to be so easy living here with you  
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do  
Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool

And it’s too late, baby, now it’s too late  
Though we really did try to make it  
Something inside has died  
And I can’t hide and I just can’t fake it

So far away  
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore?  
It would be so fine to see your face at my door  
And it doesn’t help to know that you’re just time away

Long ago, I reached for you and there you stood  
Holding you again could only do me good  
Oh, how I wish I could  
But you’re so far away, yeah

One day you’ll find that I have gone  
But tomorrow may rain, so I’ll follow the sun

Yea, tomorrow may rain, so I’ll follow the sun  
And now the time has come  
And so my love I must go  
And though I lose a friend  
In the end you’ll know, oooh

Sunshine came softly,  
Through my window today.  
Could of tripped out easy,  
But I’ve changed my ways.

Never been a sinner, I never sinned  
I got a friend in Jesus  
So you know that when I die  
He’s gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky

Hey, ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend?  
People can be so cold.  
They’ll hurt you and desert you.  
Well they’ll take your soul if you let them.  
Oh yeah, but don’t you let them.

We’ll stay together till the end  
Thinking you might be a friend

We sit and pray together that they might change the weather  
My love for you will never die  
If I sound distant, that’s because  
You shouldn’t see me crying ice cold ice
