Pull my coat around me
Feel the cold wind haunt me
Streets are empty just like me
The murmour of an echo
Seems to come from every window
is loneliness the same as being free
I guess I must have been dreaming
To think that I believed in you at all
Now I just can't fight it
As the shadow of the night begins to fall
Love's got a lot to answer for
Oh I just can't sleep with this feeling anymore
Let the cold night air cool the heat
Of two hearts gone to war
For no matter who wins, in the end
Love's got a lot to answer for
All I need is darkness
The best of all protection
Freedom's like the stars in the sky
Alone and cold and burning
Each one keeps it's distance
if only we were stars, you and I
Oh I guess I must have been dreaming
To think that I believed in you at all
And now I just can't fight it
As the shadow of the night begins to fall
Love's got a lot to answer for
Oh I just can't sleep with this feeling anymore
Let the cold night air cool the heat
Of two hearts gone to war
For no matter who wins, in the end
Love's got a lot to answer for
Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio
'Cause from the lips of some old singer
We can share the troubles we already know
Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on
They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much
If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it's easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
and it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer just enough to sing the blues
Sad songs, they say so much
I never dreamed I could cry so hard
That ain�t like a man
I could fly like a bird somedays
Had a place where I could land
I could have sworn we were all locked in
Ain�t that what you said
I never knew it could hurt so bad
When the power of love is dead
But giving into the nightmare
Ain�t no cure for the pain
You gotta wade into the water
You gotta learn to live again
And reach out for the healing hands
Reach out for her healing hands
There�s a light, where the darkness ends,
Touch me now and let me see again,
Rock me now in your gentle healing hands
I never knew love like poison
That burned like a fire
All I ever wanted was a reason
To drown in your eyes
I never knew sleep so restless
Empty arms so cold
That�s not the way it�s supposed to be
It ain�t the spell that I was sold
But giving into the nightmare
Ain�t no cure for the pain
You gotta wade into the water
You gotta learn to live again
And reach out for the healing hands
Reach out for her healing hands
There�s a light, where the darkness ends,
Touch me now and let me see again,
Rock me now in your gentle healing hands
In the nicotine glare of a cold naked light
I drag my body from the covers and down forty flights
I run out the front door into the center of the street
I scream out your name as the steam just swells around my feet
I hear you after midnight from the inner city
As every Cinderella turns to drop dead pretty
We were built out of the darkness into this West Side Story
We came together in the shadows but the moon just steals our glory
Well this is my battleground baby
This is my plaything
The only thing I've ever known
Outside of a wedding ring
And I swear I heard the night talking
Cursing me for being a little more than hopeless
Telling me we're running lonely, loose and broken
Stronger now on passion but haven't we really spoken
And all we ever do is listen to the night talking
On the burden of insanity we can't find the cause
On a flatbed truck well the home girl she paints her claws
There's a coward who gets his courage undercover of the dark
And it's a strange breed of devil freeze at night to go walking in the park
Tantamount to a lie with lingering breath
Walking fingers run, hungry scratches left
Dull chimes ringing like an empty voice
A distant smile framed, her lips are soft and moist
With whispers, whispers, whispering whispers
And whisper in a rhythm your lies
Keep comfort for others
Hurt me with the night
Whisper like cold winds close to the bone
Save heaven for lovers, leave me alone
With your whispers, whispers, whispering whispers
With whispers, whispers, whispering whispers
There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for wide eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
There's a time for ev'ryone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this starcrossed voyager
Beats in time with yours
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
I can feel the time closing in
I can feel the years crawling through my skin
And if I doubt myself
I can count on the rain
To cover the tears of this aging game
But I can count on you
To play your part
I don't miss a beat of your animal heart
And when you push from behind
I know I can
Cover a mountain with the palm of my hand
Oh babe you can make history young again
You could rewrite it, you could decide
The things that should or shouldn't have been
You could look at me in the scheme of things
Oh babe you could make history young again
I can watch the weeks sweeping by
I can recollect the hearts hanging out to dry
When the world shuts down
I can touch my fears
I can hear lost youth ringing in my ears
But I lost nothing
When I gained you
You just blew me away with yesterday's news
And when you run your fingers
Down my spine
It's like throwing a switch on the hands of time
Ancient minds, ancient lives
Got a way of comin' round
If I knew then what I know now
I'd find a way back, back in time
I'd make it back to you somehow
Oh babe you can make history young again
You could rewrite it, you could decide
The things that should or shouldn't have been
You could look at me in the scheme of things
Oh babe you could make history young again
Like a thief he's come
Like a thief he's gone
He's stolen your tears one by one
You're proud to love him
It's a foolish sign
You're a broken heart
At the scene of the crime
And the night drags on
Oh and the fever burns
Come to your senses
Everybody learns
Oh you sleep in sweet in fire
Lost and blue
You're an empty doll
In the power of a fool
Don't go sleeping with the past
Don't go praying he'll come back
Take a deep breath and deny
You could love a man like that
Don't go sleeping with the past
Don't go waking with a dream
There's no tenderness that's left
in the cracks you step between
If it looks like rain
If it makes no sounds
It's an echo of pain on common ground
Love's like a junkie
Addiction's a fact
Passion's a monkey
You can't get off your back
But he takes love
And he turns it cold
He's just an iceman honey
Ain't got no heart of gold
But he sees you and he runs from you
Come on and shake this shadow
That you're clinging to
And he'll hurt you
And he'll run from you
Come on and shake this shadow
That you're clinging to
Don't go sleeping with the past
Don't go praying he'll come back
Take a deep breath and deny
You could love a man like that
Don't go sleeping with the past
Don't go waking with a dream
There's no tenderness that's left
in the cracks you step between
