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.
You’re as cold as ice
You’re willing to sacrifice our love
You never take advice
But someday you’ll pay the price
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
