The rain beats on my window,
And the rain light up the dark,
It starts the shadows chasing,
And the dogs on the run begin to bark.

The church bell's strikning midnight,
And the lights have all gone down,
The sea's as dark as thunder,
And I feel like a wanted man on sacred ground.

Now the wind cries out, it's taking you away,
But there's nothing I can do.

Chorus
Passing ships into the night,
We can't stay together,
I won't win but I can fight,
Looks like we're in for stormy weather.

There's a fog down on the beach,
It rolls on forever,
You get further out of reach,
Looks like we're in for stormy weather.

Tall lights on the highway,
They disappear from view,
There's no-one coming my way,
Now I've lost it all it seems I'm losing you

've been looking for a lover
Going to help me out of trouble
I want someone to believe in
Hold me down without a struggle
I want more than clothes and make up
I need love and conversation
I want someone to be waiting
So much give and so much taking

I've got ideas on my mind
I'm going to make them come true
I want you

Is that (too much) too much to ask?
(too much) too much, too fast
Oh me, I don't want anyone, I want you

Want a dedicated woman
Don't want countless explanations
Too much talk and saying nothing
Don't want clever imitations
I need love and understanding
I get high on expectations
Will you tell me what you're thinking
About every situation?

I won't be home tonight
I got your news but I feel all right
I'm gonna take this town
I'm gonna turn it upside down
You won't tell me no more lies
Won't need no alibis

You're the one, you're the one who walked out on me
You're the one, you're the one who yelled victory
Things have changed, now that you're gone
Don't you know you're the one?
You're the one, you're the one who'll be history

Don't want your love anymore
Don't wanna hear you knocking on my door
So don't you come back tonight
Everything'll be locked up tight

What's a man supposed to do
I won't be cryin' over you

You're the one, you're the one who walked out on me
You're the one, you're the one who yelled victory
Things have changed, now that you're gone
Don't you know you're the one?
You're the one, you're the one who'll be history

You won't tell me no more lies, won't need no alibis

You're the one, you're the one who walked out on me
You're the one, you're the one who yelled victory
Things have changed, now that you're gone
Don't you know you're the one?

You're the one, you're the one who'll be history
You're the one, you're the one who'll be history

Don't need to tell you
You're the one, you're the one who'll be history
I won't be cryin' over you

(You're, you're the one)

You're the one, what's a man supposed to do
You're the one, you're the one who'll be history

They were just theives and robbers,
You were a stepping stone.
Look how the innocent suffer,
Raging like a storm in your soul.
One thing they forgot to mention:
Making peace was their last intention.

There was a time you trusted,
You were too proud to beg.
Now you just feel disgusted
With everything you've done and said.
There really wasn't time to cry,
Or even kiss the children goodbye.

Chorus
You got swept by the Flood
You got talked out of dreams.
There was a price on your blood,
Couldn't wash yourself clean.
It wasn't really worth a whole lot,
Looking back on what you got.
Like words in the mud,
Tears in the stream.
No more dreams.

All that you ever wanted,
All that you'd seen and heard,
Never got really started
Like a river never turned.
They didn't give a reason why,
Never even bothered to try.

(Chorus)

Killers without a conscience,
Only the good lie dead.
Great father who trades in nonsense,
Picture this inside your head:
The magic of the talking wires
Carried both the truth and the lies

You cried all nioght,
It looks like rain upon your face.
Come early light,
It's time to get back in the race.

Now there's no doubt,
The world's a cold and lonely place.
It sucks you in,
Chews you up and spits you out.

But I know where you've been,
That door's easy to walk in.

Chorus

Like a broken wheel keeps turnin',
You ain't going nowhere,
Now you've gotta heal that burnin',
Or you ain't got a prayer,
Like a broken wheel.

You're not alone.
Someone somewhere feels just like you
But you don't know
Which way to turn or what to do.

No need to ask,
I'll pull you through these troubled times
So hold on fast
I'll drag you to the finish line

'Cos I know where you've been,
That door's easy to walk in.

(Chorus)

Had enough now your heart's breakin',
Bad enough you hesitatin',
Keep your head, you gotta stand your ground.
A fool for love, you get mistaken,
Can't forget the hurt you've taken,
This old world has really got you down

I've been rejected, left unprotected,
And you might say I'm a no account,
But I'm still growin' and the river's still flowin',
Now I know just what it's all about.

Ain't well conencted, can't get accepted,
That's justa nother bridge I have to cross.
I'm a Believer and faith's a healer
But there's a price to pay I know the cost.

Chorus
Just one more heartbreak,
Another memory,
Turn me loose.
Just one more heartbreak
You'll have to run to me.

The looks of tension, too cold to mention,
Like muddy boots on someone's polished floor.
Ain't broken hearted, weill I've just started,
I've ot some boots you've never seen before.

I can wait, I can dream,
Forget the bad news.

(Chorus)

And do we live,
Hour by hour fades away,
But I know this,
I'll make the best of every day

If they could see you right now,
And know where you came from,
Lonely one.
Don't cry now,
Now you're really someone,
Tbat puts lines on your face,
That's outta place.

You really got what you wanted,
You really got where you wanted to be.

Chorus
You can't live this way forever,
Like an island made of sand.
We all need to be together,
Every woman, every man.

You walk a crooked path,
You can't look back and see,
How short your memory.
There you go, Only foolin' yourself,
Soeone's gonna get hurt,
You won't be the first.

You really got what you wated,
You really got where you wanted to be

(Chorus)

You'll have to take it on your own,
When you wake up to find that everything is gone

There's a rainbow on Sunset Boulevard,
Made of tears from Hollywood.
People praying for their Green Card,
Pay to play,
Work for food.

Swear alleigance every morning,
It's another sunny day,
Well it's murder on the freeway,
Someone's life gets blown away.

There's a pirate on the radio,
There's a preacher on TV.
Call the C.I.A Big Daddio,
Tell the White House I'll be free.

Chorus
Only in America
Only in America
Only in America
Only in America

Tijuana 'cross the border,
Eat the worm see paradise,
Education in Las Vegas,
Cut the cards and roll the dice

People come to California,
And they aim to do it right.
Every waitress a performer,
You'll be famous overnight

Lost in the shadows,
Rain clouds all day,
There's a ghost in the mirror,
Well I'm gone but I'm not too far away.

Poor little sisters,
Easy to find,
Oh! You heard me come knocking,
Saying Jesus is a friend of mine.

Hear no evil,
See no evil,
Speak no evil.

I must be sleepwalking,
Can't believe that sweet talking.

No magic red shoes
Under my bed.
Well there's no need to worry,
The wicked witch of the East is dead

Jonothan Seagull
Taught me to fly,
While the father and husband
Is sot down by the Catcher in the Rye

Thoughts on Calvary,
And salvation,
Wears a rosary,
No hesitation.

Above the sound of gunfire,
A prayer for strangers,
Couldn't get much higher,
Talks to angels.

Chorus
She's got something more than feeling,
You've just got to ask her.
She's got something to believe in,
And there's nothing better.

Friends and enemies,
A time for reason.
A time for charity,
A cry for freedom.

In the roar of battle,
Changing fortunes,
Senses bound and shackled
In the dark room.

(Chorus)

Scarlet roses growing on white skin
Voices carrying nightmares
No escaping them
She's there
Close and taking care

It burns brighter than the stars at night
Just as faithful as the falling light
It's wilder thant the roaring sea
That's what it means,
That's what it means to me.
And I don't know what I'd do
If you took your love away.
I'd be dying by the day,
If you took your love away

Stronger than the coldest wind
Like the night sky never seems to end
A remembered long-lost memory
That's what it means,
That's what it means to me.
And I don't know what I'd do
If you took your love away
I'd be dying by the day
If you go away

There's a fire in your heart
It gets into my soul
And I know what it means
To be losing control

There's a fire in your touch
And it never grows cold
Though we stand at the edge
Still we never, never,
Never lose hold

Next to Heaven's holy prize,
Warmer than the morning sunrise,
Everywhere and everything you see,
That's what it means,
That's what it means to me.
And I don't know what I'd do
If you took your love away
I'd be dying by the day
If you go away

Far horizon where the Eagles cry,
Across the desert, over mountain high
I know that's how it has to be,
That's what it means,
That's what it means to me.
And I don't know what I'd do
If you took your love away
I'd be dying by the day
If you go away
