I have given, I have given and got none Still I'm driven by something I can't explain It's not a cross, it is a choice I cannot help but hear his voice I only wish that I could listen without shame
Let it rain, let it rain on me Let it rain, oh let it rain Let it rain on me
I have been a witness to the perfect crime I Wipe the grin off of my face to hide the blame It isn't worth the tears you cry To have a perfect alibi Now I'm beaten at the hands of my own game
Let it rain, let it rain on me Let it rain, oh let it rain Let it rain on me
It isn't easy to be kind With all these demons in my mind I only hope one day I'll be free
I do my best not to complain My face is dirty from the strain I only hope one day I'll come clean
Rain, let it rain on me Let it rain, oh let it rain Let it rain on me
Come take my hand We can walk to the light And without fear We can't see through the darkest night
Rain, rain on me Let it rain, oh let it rain Let it rain on me
Virgil Spencer's got a 19 inch Hitachi And many demons lingering Friday night, he pulled a gun to change the channel Something that he picked up from the King His wife remembers well the man she knew Seems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue She's wasted years No time for tears
'Cause there's another chance A someday soon Shining like the Alabama moon She's looking for the promised land Out beyond the lights of Birmingham
It's 3 am and Virgil's passed out on the sofa A fifth of Jim Beam on the floor She's packed her bags, she slips the keys out of his pocket She's careful not to slam the door And as she drives she rubs her rosary She's never been so all alone, she's never felt so free She got miles to go Blind faith and hope
'Cause there's another chance And a someday soon Shining like the Alabama moon She's looking for the promised land Out beyond the lights of Birmingham
As the rain falls down upon the interstate Any doubts she had are all but washed away A long look back At Birmingham
'Cause there's another chance And a someday soon Shining like the Alabama moon She's looking for the promised land Out beyond the lights of Birmingham
Another chance And a someday soon Shining like the Alabama moon She's looking for the promised land Out beyond the lights of, yeah, yeah, Birmingham Birmingham
Standing on the edge of time playing out a reckless pantomine and every day's another wrong to rectify I dream about a strangers touch and voices in my head, I cannot hush and every night's a hunger I can't satisfy
CHORUS: It's the secret that I keep it's the ache that makes me weep And I know I'm in too deep-- I'm gonna drown it's the emptiness I fear baby, please don't leave me here cause I'm lost inside a dream that's out of bounds
I close my eyse and it's so real and all at once, I know just what I feel and baby, it's the kind of rush that terrifies but I am weak I am wrong and every day I swear that I'll be strong but there's a bond between us that I can't deny
CHORUS
I wanna surrender I wanna give in I wanna lay down and let it be now let it begin let it begin.
It's the secret that I keep it's the ache that makes me weep and I know I'm in too deep-- I'm gonna drown it's the emptiness I fear baby, please don't be leaving me here cause I'm lost inside a dream that's out of bounds out of bounds out of bounds...
I had a friend, he lives down in old Alberquerque we used to watch the sun, coming up together but he was hungry then and he got restless, I I heard he took a wife-- I think her name is Heather
CHORUS: Oh, all've sudden I'm driving in the rain with the Santa Fe horizon calling out my name should have done it sooner but now I know it's time cause we said alot things, baby but we never said goodbye.
We were a team we were the best of friends we had a world where no one else could find us the summer passed September came too soon and suddenly, that world was all behind us
CHORUS 2: Driving through the desert with nothing on my mind than the thought of catching up with a ghost I left behind don't know what I'll do, but I know I've got to try cause we said alot of things, baby-- but we never said goodbye.
I drove 1000 miles chasing a memory but all the pieces of what used to be have scattered and all the little things that used to mean so much I look around me now, and see that they don't matter
CHORUS 3: Oh, all've sudden I'm driving home again cause sometimes goodbye is better left unsaid the Santa Fe horizon will know the reason why I said alot of things to you... but I never said goodbye.
police cars round in circles the silence gathering you never know what's next down here close your eyes and shut your mouth
chorus: and i know i won't last forever if there's nothing left in your heart for me baby, baby, baby, baby too young to die and too old to believe in promises
the ambulance is singing to streetcars in the rain like barracuda waiting for the guns down the road
chorus: but this ain't no west side story and the curtain's comin down on me baby, baby, baby, baby too young to die and too old to believe in promises
it's all sound and all fury it's all reach and no touch it's all life's cold bravado all grown up and old so fast
chorus: and i know i won't last forever there's nothing left in your heart for me baby, baby, baby, baby too young to die and too old too young to die and too old to believe in promises
The walls are thin here in this motel room Some fool is raging overhead He's preaching the gospel according to Johnnie Walker Red Four hundred miles talking to myself Me and your memory end up here I tell myself I'm gonna be alright But it's still not clear
Chorus: Did I just miss The last exit to Eden Is this the only love I'll know Like a Judas kiss Did my heart betray me Back on the road I never chose
There are some sins that you can justify But not the one I'm guilty of I had a choice one last chance ago But I turned my back on love
Chorus
I can hear the man upstairs, he's crying out 'Fall on you knees, the end is near' We both may need a saviour, tonight I fear that mine Is the one that I left waiting far from here
Chorus
Did I just miss The last exit to Eden Did I just miss My only way out of here Did I just miss The last exit to Eden Did I just miss My only way out
Never seen a sky so blue I've never been happy with anyone Like I am when I'm with you Look at the sun shining up in the sky I feel a little closer to heaven, baby When I'm looking into your eyes
Chorus And as long as we're together, boy I'm sitting on top of the world Wanna feel this way forever, boy I'm sitting on top of the world
Last night I lay in the dark Tryin' to figure it out Tryin' to talk to my heart But now it's morning and I still don't know why All I know is that you got me feeling so good All I know is that it feels the way that true love should Ain't no one luckier than you and I
Chorus
And everybody's got an opinion 'bout how this should be But they don't understand it No, no they just can't see That I belong with you and baby Baby Baby, you belong with me
Lost inside this angeltown Lost like I could not be found No connections of the heart Love was glass that broke apart Gimme faith in dreams And someone to hold Gimme love 'cause I'm out here in the cold There are no secrets No angels at my door
Chorus And oh, when you touch my hand I fall from grace And oh, when you reach for me I fall from grace
On a steeltown boulevard Life's a promise that doesn't last Resurrections of the past Children come and are gone so fast So gimme faith in love Baby tonight Gimme arms to hold you here so tight There are no secrets No angels at my door
Drop those flowers - back away slowly You jumped in thinking this was holy water Well surprise surprise This is not a test Welcome to the party I've been on my best behaviour but I think it's time You saw the other side CHORUS
I'm a tough tough game that no one can master I'm a tall tall tale no one believes I'm a long dark night with no morning after Lucky you You get the best of me
Brand new day - honeymoon's over Peace and quiet puts me in a coma anyway It's just a waste of time This is not a dream Do you get the picture I know I may seem peculiar Baby gimme time 'Cause when I hit my stride CHORUS
SOLO
CHORUS
I'm a tough tough game that no one can master I'm a tall tall tale no one believes I'm a long dark night with no morning after I'm a thundercloud when you're out at sea And if you try to run Baby I can run faster Lucky you You get the best of me
We've done our cold time, you and I Fought off the raging of this northern sky And heaven knows I wanna compare the ocean to your eyes Baby, let's fly Doin' hard time, day to day Huddled beneath this winter sun all frozen grey You lose your freedom while you watch the season slip away But not today
Chorus: Livin' in the darkness, baby Comin' all undone Been a cruel December, now we're prayin' for the sun By the time the storm rolls in, we could be long gone Baby, let's get lost til the days get long Just you and I Frost on the outside brings a chill within Seems like we hide our hearts away when the days get dim Let's shake it off, let's shake it up We're not the kind who just give in So let's begin
Chorus
Voices in your head say stay I can hear them too But those doubts'll fade away In our room with a view There's a sweet breeze blowin' somewhere, baby All you gotta do Is tell me that it's time to go And I'll be there with you
The walls are thin here in this motel room Some fool is raging overhead He's preaching the gospel according to Johnnie Walker Red Four hundred miles talking to myself Me and your memory end up here I tell myself I'm gonna be alright But it's still not clear
Chorus: Did I just miss The last exit to Eden Is this the only love I'll know Like a Judas kiss Did my heart betray me Back on the road I never chose
There are some sins that you can justify But not the one I'm guilty of I had a choice one last chance ago But I turned my back on love
Chorus
I can hear the man upstairs, he's crying out 'Fall on you knees, the end is near' We both may need a saviour, tonight I fear that mine Is the one that I left waiting far from here
Chorus
Did I just miss The last exit to Eden Did I just miss My only way out of here Did I just miss The last exit to Eden Did I just miss My only way out
Never seen a sky so blue I've never been happy with anyone Like I am when I'm with you Look at the sun shining up in the sky I feel a little closer to heaven, baby When I'm looking into your eyes
Chorus And as long as we're together, boy I'm sitting on top of the world Wanna feel this way forever, boy I'm sitting on top of the world
Last night I lay in the dark Tryin' to figure it out Tryin' to talk to my heart But now it's morning and I still don't know why All I know is that you got me feeling so good All I know is that it feels the way that true love should Ain't no one luckier than you and I
Chorus
And everybody's got an opinion 'bout how this should be But they don't understand it No, no they just can't see That I belong with you and baby Baby Baby, you belong with me
I'm fed up with my destiny And this place of no return I think I'll take another day And slowly watch it burn And it doesn't really matter How the time goes by 'Cause I still remember you and I And that beautiful goodbye
We staggered through these empty streets Laughing arm in arm The night had made a mess of me Your confessions kept me warm I don't really miss you, I just need to know Do you ever think of you and I And that beautiful goodbye
When I see you now I wonder how I could've watched you walk away If I let you down Please forgive me now For that beautiful goodbye
In these days of no regrets I keep mine to myself And all the things we never said I can save for someone else And nothing lasts forever But we always try And I just can't help but wonder why We let it pass us by, yeah
When I see you now I wonder how I could've watched you walk away If I let you down Please forgive me now For that beautiful goodbye
Baby, what can I do Oh, to get through to you And sometimes I cry, yeah It's a fool's lullaby Sometimes I cry It's just a fool's lullaby I'm dying inside
Indian summer, Abeline You were new in town, I was nineteen And the sparks flew They called us crazy behind our backs Romantic fools, we just let them laugh Because we knew
It may be a long shot We may get lonely down the line Love knows no reason And I won't let 'em make up my mind
My money's riding on this dark horse, baby My heart is saying it's the lucky one And it's true color's gonna shine through someday If we let this, let this dark horse run
Stars are brighter in a desert sky No need to wonder or justify Where this will lead I wear your locket, our picture's inside Inscription says "the joy's in the ride" And I believe
That something so sacred Is something worth this kind of fight 'Cause love knows no patience, no, no You can't please everyone all the time
My money's riding on this dark horse, baby My heart is saying it's the lucky one And it's true color's gonna shine through someday If we let this, let this dark horse run
So rare So sweet Together baby, I know We can disappear Be free
Ooh, my money's riding on this dark horse, baby My heart is saying it's the lucky one And it's true color's gonna shine through someday If we let this, let it run, baby
My money's riding on this dark horse, baby My heart is saying it's the lucky one And it's true color's gonna shine through someday If we let this, let this dark horse run
Indian summer, Abeline You were new in town, I was nineteen Yeah, baby In the summertime Hey, yeah Ooh
