darlin’ it’s been such a long time dear since we had a talk let’s go for a walk you’re not innocent now lovely, you shine like the ocean while carpenters carry songs in the gutters the storm’s coming in (ch.) still you don’t care what it’s all about looking up on the world from the peak of the mountain the world’s just your crown you’re the queen of this town but please don’t you feel like all this is real and your throne was bought for you jackknife in the arm of an angel media madness chasing the dream but is it your own it left you hypnotized in the alley you’re drunken from moonbeams tastefully rendered from the promise of praise (ch.) still you don’t care what it’s all about looking up on the world from the peak of the mountain the world’s just your crown you’re the queen of this town but please don’t you feel like all this is real and your throne was bought for you disguise if you like try as you might break so the light shines on you day after day night after night praying that it grants you the key to the kingdom you’re spinning until you get lost in the world i know you will always be good

holy moses take a look around stolen roses grown upon the ground and you know in your mind that you cannot decide if you should stay or go and you know that it’s true that the things that you do will come back to you in time (ch.) find a way to let go of the sorrow that turned you away for a while it’s good to see you smile won’t you stay with me awhile maybe it’s the season of your life makes you feel you don’t fit your skin quite right and you try to find out that the reason for doubt all along and you know that its true that the things that you do could be wrong (ch.) find a way to let go of the sorrow that turned you away for a while it’s good to see you smile won’t you stay with me awhile fica conmigo o que qé iso qué dizer (ch.) find a way to let go of the sorrow that turned you away for a while it’s good to see you smile won’t you stay with me awhile

lately i’ve been thinking about the rainy days without you the sun breaks through turning grey skies to blue the brightest hue comes from your pretty green eyes all I do is look to your pretty green eyes i go sailing bound for paradise gentle breezes blow and the coffee’s nice and i’ll leave this world behind in my easy state of mind intertwined with those pretty green eyes all i do is look to your pretty green eyes happiness is just a look away and if you doubt me brother i would say those pretty green eyes had better stay with me the seasons change so do i you can call me what you want a fair-weather guy but as time goes by there’s nothing in the world quite like the summer skies that shine through your pretty green eyes all i do is look to your pretty green eyes the sweetest song gets sung through your pretty green eyes

open up your eyes let in the light at the end of the night we’re heading straight for nowhere the sound of a gun in the arms of a child at the end of the fight it adds up to nothing the mother child she’s battered and bruised when she starts to move the rain’s a-coming and i can see her eye turning toward the sky when she starts to cry the world comes tumbling (ch.) there’s bullets on the highway and there’s sorrow in the belly of the world but there’s hope just like the morning sun falling on the shoulders of a girl and she turns at the speed of the world now the mother child she asks us why we made her cry when we were made for loving and i can see her eye turning toward the sky when she starts to cry the world comes tumbling (ch.) there’s bullets on the highway and there’s sorrow in the belly of the world but there’s hope just like the morning sun falling on the shoulders of a girl and she turns at the speed of the world and she turns another day and she holds off the rain reach out your hands to your brother in pain cause you know someday you’re gonna be a cryin’ cause the rain that falls comes to us all breaks down the wall of who lives and who’s dying (ch.) there’s bullets on the highway and there’s sorrow in the belly of the world but there’s hope just like the morning sun falling on the shoulders of a girl and she turns at the speed of the world and the tears that fall are yours

Come Back 04:45
sofia sits by her window and ponders the rain just another day goes by so slowly (ch.) isn’t it time to come back isn’t it time to steal tomorrow isn’t it time to heal from the pain cause the rain keeps on falling and so stay beside me know that you’re always on my mind sweet forgiveness when you’re feeling black as the night i’ll open my eyes and see you darling won’t you let me come ‘round to ease your mind sofia sits by her window and ponders the rain heaven never used to be so hard to explain (ch.) isn’t it time to come back isn’t it time to steal tomorrow isn’t it time to heal from the pain cause the rain keeps on falling and so stay beside me know that you’re always on my mind sweet forgiveness when you’re feeling black as the night when you think there’s no one round to find you i can see your eyes shining in the light

so it goes that you lost control of the words that kept you from feeling whole and you try to decide and you ponder a time when you were young so tell me what are you fighting for and the battles rage as it was before and the curious king got lost in religion of war please won’t you say that there’s a better way to lead the world to freedom are you leaving this place better than you found there’s blood on the ground but is it yours tell me are you listening find your way back home singing hymns while all your castle walls are crumbling but who will you let inside the halls of the pearly gates rest on litigations and masquerades no, they won’t complain no, they came here to be entertained brother don’t you know that it’s a sin is this how understanding can begin when the fighting subsides we’ll all live in the color of night please won’t you say that there’s a better way to lead the world to freedom are you leaving this place better than you found there’s blood on the ground but is it yours tell me are you listening find your way back home singing hymns while all your castle walls are crumbling but who will you let in so find a way to let go of what you say do you recall it was all that we could do to think an honest man of you can you hear me are you listening?

Please 04:54
please take all i’m worth resonating aching earth maybe not but maybe i’ve got all i need could it be the winds or ignorance that sent me tumbling out to sea and the jaws of our desires are clenched and love is just a word please take all i’m worth resonating aching earth maybe not but maybe i’ve got all i need and the choirs of thieves that carry you away from me and the jaws of our desires are clenched and love is just a word please take all i’m worth

Breathe 05:26
all at once you feel a sudden urge to purge the rumors that you heard about the crooks, the counterfeit out it goes, all of it but they say that you will need them still when you’re alone against your will and you’ll learn in time to overthrow the lies that television grows i will long for you i will long for you i will long for you to come down to where we are and breathe furthermore you feel that you’ve been sold a bill of goods you can’t control and you think that there’s no way out of here but to lock the door and disappear everybody’s strange and beautiful long for the day when they will know everybody’s painting a masterpiece long for the day when they’re released i will long for you i will long for you i will long for you to come down to where we are and breathe i will long for you
9.
darling i guess i’ve been more or less a mess yet still i protest your leaving it seems that our love has finally come undone yet still i can feel your breathing (ch.) forget about what it means i’m falling apart at the seams i still can’t explain these beams of light that fall on your shoulders at night everything was fine until you came to mind on a fiery cold november the cardinal has flown and i’ll call you on the phone from town if i remember (ch.) seeds of time falling like tears and i see through the years i still own reason and doubt i will wait close the door you’ll let the light back in takes your breath away don’t it i’m as lonely as a stone on the floor of the ocean take me to the tormented hours of the evening leave you nothing but to close the door

Dawn 11:13
choose your weapons well your children will take cover you wake in the morning to the sound of two hearts breaking is this the end or is this the beginning choose your weapons well your children will recover you wake in the morning to the sound of two hearts breaking is this the end or is this the beginning o, dangerous night silent as prayer turn on the light but you are sleeping so well please don’t awaken her ‘cause dawn is breaking
