These last few weeks of holding on  
The days are dull, the nights are long  
Guess it’s better to say goodbye to you

I love you sometimes  
Always never  
He said you’re here  
Here with me now

It’s growing cold  
I’m growing old  
Is this the only way to see a fire?  
It’s raining

How innocent her visage as my child lover lies  
Pressed against the rainswept windy windows of my eyes  
Like an antique etching glass design  
That somehow turned out wrong

Now, when the paint was dry  
And the colours set  
It was painful yet  
To an honest eye  
Here, where the walls were hung  
With the sweat of years  
The familiar fears  
Since the hands were young

That’s my last Duchess painted on the wall,  
Looking as if she were alive. I call  
That piece a wonder, now; Fra Pandolf’s hands  
Worked busily a day, and there she stands.

Realizing a form out of stone, set hands moving  
Roan shaped his heart through his working hands  
Worked to mold his passion into clay  
Like the sun

With just a hundred pounds of clay  
He made my life worth livin’  
And I will thank Him every day  
For every kiss you’re givin’  
And I’ll thank Him every night  
For the arms that are holdin’ me tight  
And He did it all with just a hundred pounds of clay  
Yes he did, whoa-oh, yes He did

You stand, stand on a platform  
Your effigy dissolves in my hands

When I fell, someone to die for  
And I fell, someone to rely on

You can’t wake up, can’t wake up  
You can’t wake up

Calling to the sky  
The thunder drowns my voice within the rain  
And I know you’re near me  
And I call throughout the storm  
I know that you don’t hear me

I call your name

Can you hear me call your name?

Your smile, and the sound of your voice  
And the way you see through me  
Got a feeling, you give me no choice  
But it means a lot to me  
So I wanna know

What’s the name of the game? (Your smile and the sound of your voice)  
Does it mean anything to you? (Got a feeling you give me no choice)  
(But it means a lot)  
What’s the name of the game? (Your smile and the sound of your voice)  
Can you feel it the way I do?  
Tell me please, 'cause I have to know  
I’m a bashful child, beginning to grow

Maybe I ride  
Maybe you walk  
Maybe I drive to get off, baby

Hey hey kids, where are you  
Nobody tells you what to do, baby

Hey hey kids, rock and roll  
Nobody tells you where to go, baby
