Beneath the white fire of the moon
Loves wings are broken all too soon
We never learn
Hurt together, hurt alone
Dont you sometimes wish your heart was a heart of stone
We turn the wheel and break the chain put steel to steel and laugh at pain
Were dreamers in castles made of sand the road to edens overgrown
Dont you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone
Look at the headlines
Big crowd at the crazy house
Long queue for the jokers shoes
Ten rounds in the ring with love
Do you lose and win or win and lose
Sweet rain like mercy in the night
(lay me down, wash away the sorrow) caress my soul and set it right
(lay me down, show me your tomorrow) summer tears, winter and the moments flown
Dont you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone
Mercy, mercy wish your heart was a heart of stone
Get the picture
No room for the innocent
Peak season in lonely town
Knocked out of the ring by love
Are you down and up or up and down
I ask the river for a sign
(in a dream we go on together)
How long is love supposed to shine
(in a dream diamonds are forever)
But you and i, hurt together, hurt alone dont you sometimes wish your heart was a heart
Of stone
Mercy, mercy wish your heart was a heart of stone
(with a heart of stone, youll be well protected)
Dont you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone
(with a heart of stone, youll be well connected)
Is it all
Or nothing At all
Is this where it ends?
Theres nowhere else to Fall
When you reach
The Bottom Its
Now or never.
Im lookig at you through glass I dont know how much time has past, All I know is that is feels like forever but no one ever tells you that forever feels like home sitting all alone inside your head.
look at me.....
look at me you may think you see who i really am
but youll never know me.
every day its as if i play a part
now i see if i wear a mask i can fool the world
but i canot fool my heart..
who is that i see staring straight back at me?
when will my reflection show who i am inside?
i am now in world were i have to hide my heart,and what i beleive in-
but some-how i will show the world, whats inside my heart,and be loved for who i am.
who is that i see staring straigt back at me?
why is my reflection soemone i dont know?
must i pretend that im someone else for all time?
when will my reflection show who i am inside?
theres a heart that must be free to fly-
like a bird that needs to know the reason why
why must we all conceal what we think how we feel?
must there be a secret me im forced to hide?
I wont pretend that im someone else for all time-
when will my reflection show who i am inside?
Mile upon mile, got no direction.
We're all playin' the same game.
We're all lookin' for redemption.
Just to pray, to say the name.
So caught up now in pretendin'
That what we're seekin' is the truth.
I'm just lookin' for a happy endin'.
All I'm lookin' for is you.
You came upon me, wave on wave.
You're the reason I'm still here, yeah.
Am I the one you were sent to save?
You came upon me, wave on wave.
I wandered out into the water,
An' I thought that I might drown.
I don't know what I was after,
Just know I was goin' down.
And that's when she found me.
Not afraid anymore.
She said: "You know, I always had you, baby.
"Just waitin' for you to find what you were lookin' for."
You came upon me, wave on wave.
You're the reason I'm still here, yeah.
Am I the one you were sent to save?
It came upon me, wave on wave.
Wave on wave.
Wave on wave.
An' it came upon me, wave on wave.
You're the reason I'm still here, yeah.
Am I the one you were sent to save?
It came upon me, wave on wave.
The clouds broke and the angels cried:
"You ain't gotta wipe the floor."
That's why it put me in your hands.
When it came upon me wave on wave.
Yeah, it came upon me, wave on wave.
You're the reason I'm still here, yeah.
Am I the one you were sent to save?
An' it came upon me, wave on wave.
To fade.
Yeah, it came upon me, wave on wave.

Hey girl what ya doin' down there
Dancin' alone every night while I live right above you
I can hear your music playin'
I can feel your body swayin'
One floor below me you don't even know me
I love you
Oh, my darling, knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no, oh, my sweetness
(Knock, knock, knock!) Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Mmm, twice on the pipe (clink, clink) means you ain't gonna show
If you look out your window tonight
Pull in the string with the note that's attached to my heart
Read how many times I saw you
How in my silence I adored you
And only in my dreams did that wall between us come apart
I can hear your music playin'
I can feel your body swayin'
One floor below me you don't even know me
I love you
Amarillo by morning Up from San Antone Everything that I've got Is just what I've got onWhen that sun is high In that Texas sky I'll be bucking at the county fair Amarillo by morning Amarillo I'll be there They took my saddle in Houston Broke my leg in Sante Fe Lost my wife and a girlfriendSome
Amarillo by morning-Amaril
To days of insparation
playing hooky making somthing out of nothing
The need to express
To communicate
To going against the grain,
Going insane
Going Mad
To loving tension, no pension
To more than one dimension,
To starving for attention, Hatting pretention
Not to mention hating dear old mom and dad
To riding your bike miday
Past the three-piece suits
To fruits to no absolutes
To abolute-to choice
To the village voice
To any passing fad
To being an us for once instead of a them!
Hello, is this the Sheriff's Office?"
"Yes,. What can I do for you?"
"I'm calling to report about my neighbor Virgil Smith. He is hiding marijuana inside his firewood!"
"Thank you very much for the call, sir."
The next day, the Sheriff's Deputies descend on Virgil's house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept. Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They sneer at Virgil and leave.
The phone rings at Virgil's house. "Hey, Virgil! This here's Floyd. Did the Sheriff come?"
"Yeah!"
"Did they chop your firewood?"
"Yep."
"Happy Birthday, buddy!"
(Who says rednecks aren't real bright!)
