I will write you letters that
Explain the way I'm thinking now
I will return to you
What I have taken long before
I will return again
When it gets dark and day is done

And lay me down
In the hallowed ground
Down by your side I will stay
So lay me down

And if you wanna stay with me
Then let me know before it's light
I will recoil myself
Into the black and darkest night

And lay me down
In the hallowed ground
Where my father waits I will stay
So lay me down

And lay me down
In the hallowed ground
Down by your side I will stay
So lay me down

Well I never want to land
'Cause I'm high on you
Beyond all sleight of hand

And tell me if you're sure
And I won't pretend to
fall down anymore
'Cause you'll all I really want
Headlong
I'm falling in headlong

And act a little braver
And the lies that try to trip
my slaves

And tell me if you're sure
And the precious precious
waiting I've endured
'Cause you're all I'll ever want
Headlong
I'm falling in headlong

Headlong
falling in headlong

Headlong
falling in headlong

Headlong
falling in headlong

Breathing in the night
There's nothing else I'm needing now
The wind is at my side
And so you
Together we will rise
Above all these words and promises we couldn't keep
Together we will fly
Above it all now
But sometimes we will fall
From the light
But it shines on us tonight
Together we will rise
Together we will rise

Surely it's a sign now
That everything's in tune to some kind of higher plan
Yeah surely it's a sign
That you were right
There's this secret line
That we've been denied
And we're crossing it tonight
And together we will rise
And together we will rise
Sometimes we will fall
From the light
But it shines on us tonight
And together will rise
Past this light
And we'll cross it here tonight
And together we will rise

God bless mom
Best of all
Spread your wings
Fly or fall

You'll see how hard it can be
To keep your side of the deal
And you'll see how hard it can be
To keep one foot in the real

God bless you
Strong and true
Stay at home
Good as gold

And you'll see how hard it can be
To keep your side of the deal
And you'll see how hard it can be
To keep one foot in the real

There's a black tinted sunset
In the prettiest of skies
Lay back, lay back
Rest your head on my thighs
There is some awful action
That just breeds from my hand
It's a breathe from the deep
So exquisitely grand

And you were always on my mind
And you were always on my mind
And you were always on my mind
And you were always on my mind

Well I would not have moved
If I knew you were here
It's some special action
With motives unclear
Now you'll haunt me, you'll haunt me
'Til I pay for what I've done
It's a payment which precludes
The having of fun

And you were always on my mind
And you were always on my mind
And you were always on my mind
And you were always on my mind
And oh I got a new partner riding with me
I got a new partner now

Well the sun's fading faster
And we're ready to go
There's a skirt in the bedroom
Lying pleasantly low
And the loons on the moor
Or the fish on the flow
Well my friends, my friends
Still will whisper hello
We all know what we know
It's a hearts one to know
When you think like a hermit
You forget what you know

And you were always on my mind
And you were always on my mind
And you were always on my mind
And you were always on my mind
And oh I got a new partner riding me
I got a new partner riding with me
I got a new partner riding with me
I got a new partner now

And you were always on my mind
And you were always on my mind
And you were always on my mind
And you were always on my mind

Listen girl I might
If you ask me very nice
I just might tell you the truth
Because you give me love and I like it
And charming as you might be
Listen girl you like it to

All of the corner kids
They're looking for joy
Dreaming of playgrounds and toys
Well they're dreaming no more
'Cause they've been there before
And now they just sit and absorb

Like when I couldn't get out of bed
Oh I could hardly walk
But I come here to muse
I come here to talk

To say listen girl ...

And the fluids
That hold me in my mind
A candle in the way
To falling back in time
And beer
The wilful little tout
That brightens up my nights
But hoodoo when I'm awake

Lying in the sickbed waiting to go
Fill me with morphine and Demerol
Swa__ of the cast off, just lye in the shade
Closer to Christ now, kneeling down on the blade
But don't leave me drowning
The river surrounds me and into my soul
Don't leave me lying, so closer to dying

So I need ____, stay to ___ on my way to go
The air of _____ floats through the h___
Woke me up crying next to you by the wall
Don't leave me scathing, the ashes are breaking
Me to my bones
Don't leave me lying, so ____ ____ dying
Down, down, down, down

> Here, back, down along
And straight, track
I have chosen the long road
That leads me out to god knows
So I can stop right now
Even the good stars can fall from grace and faulter, lose their faith, and slide
But I can't get an ocean that's deep enough
For my day is the first of the ascension
It's a sad way we've flown after the stars
And her last words were 'I was only thinking of you'
In my golden days I was a slave
Well now it's time for to sound your voice
And capture what your after
My ship was sold right up the river
But I'm not going down here
This journey isn't over
It's a long way to the house of Fitzcarraldo
And her last words were 'I'm always thinking of you'
In my golden days I was a saint
Even the good stars can fall from grace and faulter
Like lapdogs that stride that mystery
And her last words were 'I'll see you down in history
It's the only way that we can grow
I shall eclipse you.
It's a long way to Fitzcarraldo
And I don't want to pray for you
In the name of something true
