You  
Soft and only  
You  
Lost and lonely  
You  
Just like heaven

When the night is closing, eyes are running wild  
Then I hear you humming all night long

The sign I see it, tell me am I true  
All I need from you is  
All I see

You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold  
You say you want your story to remain untold  
All the promises we make  
From the cradle to the grave  
When all I want is you

It’s exactly the same  
You said  
It’s always the same  
But I’ll make it change  
Into something the same  
I promise

A promise

Some times I live in the country  
Some times I live in town  
Some times I takes a great notion  
To jump into the river and drown

It’s a long road down the river deep 'n wild  
Every twist and turn a wonder-dale  
It’s a scary ride we’d give give anything to take  
Let yourself bleed  
Leave a footprint on every island you see

And I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back  
I play for keeps 'cause I might not make it back  
I’ve been everywhere (oh yeah) still I’m standing tall  
I’ve seen a million faces and I’ve rocked them all

You’ll seek it, it’ll take a while  
You’ll seek this, if it’s a thousand miles  
Take what fate brings, eternal and desire  
I’ll change those faces, then I take their smile

We’re getting close to you, I can see the door

Maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m right, maybe I’m some kind of lunatic  
You say I’m wasting all my time but I know what to do with it  
It is plain as black and white  
I’m gonna get close to you, oh-oh so close to you

As high as a mountain as vast as a forest  
Beside a fountain dying of thirst  
And the marquee says one night at the stage:  
Wait 'til I let this soul out of its cage

And I just can’t help wondering  
It’s such a waste of time
