WELL IT SURE TURNED OUT LIKE SOME KIND OF SUMMER
WHAT WITH THE HEAT AND THE WIND AND THE RAIN
WE WERE LIVING IN THE DEEP SOUTH
A PASSION BURNING IN OUR VEINS
ONE NIGHT BABY SAYS SHE FEELS THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG HERE
SHE FEEL A TERROR LIKE HER HEART BEATING
DEEP INSIDE
AND THEN BABY SAID SHE WOULD
BABY SAYS SHE MIGHT
JUST TAKE A LITTLE DRIVE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
I WANNA KNOW
WHERE BABY DON’T GO
I WANNA KNOW
I WANNA KNOW
WHERE BABY DON’T GO
WHERE GOES MY BABY? MY BABY TONIGHT?
WHEN IT TURNED INTO THE COOL OF NOVEMBER
I KIND OF KNEW I’D NEVER SEE HER AGAIN
IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT
WHEN YOU TURN OUT THE LIGHT
I SWEAR I HEARD HER
CALLING OUT MY NAME
TODAY I HEARD THEY'D FOUND HER CHEVY
BURIED HALFWAY DOWN IN THAT TAHOE MUD
IT WAS EMPTY INSIDE
LIKE MY BABY’S EYES
SHE TOOK TO DISAPPEAR OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
I WANNA KNOW
WHERE BABY DON’T GO
I WANNA KNOW
I WANNA KNOW
WHERE BABY DON’T GO
WHERE GOES MY BABY? MY BABY TONIGHT?
AND I’VE BEEN DRIVING THROUGH THESE STREETS IN THE MOONLIGHT
TRYING TO FIND A REASON WHY
IT'LL TAKE A FOOL LIKE ME
NOT TO REALISE, REALISE…
I NEED MY BABY TONIGHT…

OH ANGEL, MY SWEET ANGEL
I SEE SHADOWS CROSS THE SKY
AND MIDNIGHT EYES
ARE LOOKING AT THE WORLD TONIGHT
OH ANGEL, MY SWEET ANGEL
WHEN THE TRUTH COMES DOWN
IT’S GOING TO RAIN LIKE CRAZY
ON THE CHILDREN
AS THEY SLEEP TONIGHT
AND WHO’LL BE THERE TO CATCH THEIR DREAMS AS THEY FALL
WHO’LL BE THERE FOR THE CHILDREN
WHEN THEIR NIGHTMARES CALL?
WHEN THEIR NIGHTMARES CALL?
OH ANGEL, I’VE HEARD SO MANY LIES
BUT WITH WARS TO THE EAST
CORRUPTION TO THE WEST
HOW THE HELL WE EVER GONNA SURVIVE?
OH ANGEL, MY SWEET ANGEL
WHEN THEY LIGHT THOSE FIRES
THEY’RE GOING TO BURN LIKE FOREVER
BUT WE’RE NEVER GOING TO SEE THE LIGHT
AND WHO’LL BE THERE TO CATCH OUR DREAMS AS THEY FALL
WHO’LL BE THERE FOR THE CHILDREN
WHEN THEIR NIGHTMARES CALL?
COS TIME IS SLIPPING THROUGH OUR FINGERS
LIKE A STORM IN THE DESERT SAND
WHO CAN PLACE OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE
IN THE PALM OF SOME FOOLS HAND?
IF ONLY I COULD GET SOME ANSWERS
I WOULD LET THEM ALL IN ON THE PLAN
SO WHEN THEIR NIGHTMARES CALL
THEY CAN UNDERSTAND…
SO THEY CAN UNDERSTAND…

TAKE A RIDE ON DOWN THE OUTSIDE
TAKE A RIDE ON IN BETWEEN
TAKE A PEEK THROUGH VELVET WINDOWS
YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SEEN
GOD AND BABY JESUS
PLAYING CARDS WITH GABRIEL
CHEATING HEARTS WON’T STAND BETWEEN US
WITH ANOTHER SOUL TO SELL
IF THERE’S A STORY HERE TO TELL
I TOOK A RIDE STRAIGHT DOWN TO HELL
AH-AH-AH WELL
I’M GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL
I SHOULD’VE KNOWN MUCH BETTER
I SHOULD’VE SEEN THE SIGNS
A MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN
LEAVE THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW LINES
IF LOVE WILL FIND AN ANSWER
IF LOVE WILL FIND A WAY
IT’S COS THE DEVIL TAKES NO CHANCES
COS THE DEVIL HE’S BEEN PAID
IF THERE’S A STORY HERE TO TELL
I TOOK A RIDE STRAIGHT DOWN TO HELL
AH-AH-AH WELL
I’M GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL
I SAID “OH MY GOD JEMIMA
OH MY SWEET JANINE
WHAT COULD YOU GIRLS BE THINKING
FOOLING ROUND WITH BILLIE JEAN?”
MY WIFE, HER SISTER AND THEIR BEST FRIEND
WERE NOWHERE TO BE SEEN
‘TIL I PEEKED THROUGH VELVET WINDOWS
THROUGH A CURTAIN TO A DREAM
AND IF I SAY I TOOK A RIDE
THEY INVITED ME INSIDE…
AH-AH-AH WELL
I’M GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL
TAKE A RIDE ON DOWN THE OUTSIDE
TAKE A RIDE ON IN BETWEEN
TAKE A PEEK THROUGH VELVET WINDOWS
YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SEEN
IF LOVE WILL FIND AN ANSWER
IF LOVE WILL FIND A WAY
IT’S COS THE DEVIL TAKES NO CHANCES
COS THE DEVIL HE’S BEEN PAID
IF THERE’S A STORY HERE TO TELL
I TOOK A RIDE STRAIGHT DOWN TO HELL
AH-AH-AH WELL
YEH! I GOING DOWN…
IF THERE’S A STORY HERE TO TELL
I TOOK A RIDE STRAIGHT DOWN TO HELL
AH-AH-AH WELL
IF THERE’S A STORY HERE TO TELL
I TOOK A RIDE STRAIGHT DOWN TO HELL
AH-AH-AH WELL
IF THERE’S A STORY HERE TO TELL
I TOOK A RIDE STRAIGHT DOWN TO HELL
AH-AH-AH WELL
I’M GOING DOWN TO HELL

I’M SITTING IN A BAR
ON THE WRONG SIDE OF TOWN
AND I’M WONDERING WHERE YOU ARE
YOU DON’T EVER COME AROUND
A SONG PUNCHED ON THE JUKEBOX
JUST REMINDED ME OF YOU
AND I WAS WONDERING BABY,
DO YOU EVER THINK OF ME TOO
AND I’M WONDERING
WHO’S BEEN KISSING YOU
AND I’M WONDERING
WHO’S BEEN HOLDING YOU
AND I’M WONDERING
WHY THAT MAKES ME FEEL SO BLUE
LORD AND I’M WONDERING
WHO’S LOVING YOU TONIGHT?
WELL I’VE BEEN DOWN ON MY LUCK
ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS
BUT YOU KNOW I DON’T GIVE A DAMN
I AIN’T NEVER GOING BACK
MY HEAD’S FULL OF BOURBON
AND I JUST DRANK ANOTHER BEER
IT’S NOT THAT I STILL LOVE YOU
I JUST WISH THAT YOU WERE HERE…
AND I’M WONDERING
WHO’S BEEN KISSING YOU
AND I’M WONDERING
WHO’S BEEN HOLDING YOU
AND I’M WONDERING
WHY THAT MAKES ME FEEL SO BLUE
LORD AND I’M WONDERING
WHO’S LOVING YOU TONIGHT?

I TRY TO FORGET YOU
AND THAT’S NOT SUCH AN EASY THING TO DO
I TRY TO FORGET YOU, DARLING
AND THAT’S NOT SUCH AN EASY THING
FOR THIS POOR BOY TO DO

THESE DAYS I’VE BEEN MISSING
WELL I’VE BEEN A’SPINNING AROUND AND
A'DRINKING, AND DRINKING, AND DRINKING
TO MAKE IT ALL STOP
I’M TRYING TO FORGET YOU
ALL THE GODDAM TIME
BUT I ALWAYS FORGET TO REMEMBER THE PAIN
WHEN YOU WERE STILL MINE ALL MINE…
YOU TOOK MY HEART DARLING
YOU TOOK MY HEART AND YOU THREW IT AWAY
I REMEMBER THE TIME
THAT YOU TOLD ME YOU LOVED ME
DARLING,
EVERY GODDAM DAY…

BUT I KNOW WHERE I’M COMING FROM

IF THIS IS THE LAST TIME I’LL SEE YOU
YOU’D BETTER LEAVE
SO MANY THINGS IN THIS OLD WORLD
LEFT TO SEE
I KNOW YOUR PLANS
WELL THEY NO LONGER INCLUDE ME
SPREAD YOUR WINGS, LITTLE ANGEL,
FLY AWAY FROM ME…
AND SAY GOODBYE
SAY GOODBYE TO ME
THESE AREN’T TEARS IN MY EYES
I AIN’T LONELY TONIGHT
JUST SAY GOODBYE
TO ME
THERE’S A MOON OVER INDIGO
A WAVE ON THE DEEP BLUE SEA
A DIAMOND SNAKE WRAPPED AROUND MY SOUL
DEEP INSIDE OF ME
YOU HAVE YOUR DREAMS
I HAVE MY OWN PAIN TO RELIEVE
SPREAD YOUR WINGS, LITTLE ANGEL,
FLY AWAY FROM ME…
AND SAY GOODBYE
SAY GOODBYE TO ME
THESE AREN’T TEARS IN MY EYES
I AIN’T LONELY TONIGHT
JUST SAY GOODBYE
TO ME
PAINT YOUR DREAMS CRIMSON
COLOUR ALL YOUR MEMORIES
SOMEDAY BABY
CLOSE YOUR EYES
AND THINK OF ME
WITH THE MOON OVER INDIGO
THIS IS THE WAY THINGS SHOULD BE
SPREAD YOUR WINGS, LITTLE ANGEL,
FLY AWAY FROM ME…
AND SAY GOODBYE
SAY GOODBYE TO ME
THESE AREN’T TEARS IN MY EYES
I AIN’T LONELY TONIGHT
JUST SAY GOODBYE
TO ME

THIS IS THE STORY OF JOHNNY AND LOUISE
DOWN ON KENNEDY BOULEVARD
COULD BE THE STORY OF YOU AND ME
LOSING TRACK OF THE FOLKS WE BOTH ARE
SOME HOLD ON TO DREAMS
SOME HOLD ON TO THE FEAR
THEY’RE JUST GROWING OLD…
LOUISE TURNS TO JOHNNY
PUTS HER HAND INTO HIS
WITH A SMILE THAT ONLY HE KNOWS
SUCH A LONG WAY TO HEAVEN
SUCH A LONG WAY HOME
JOHNNY SAYS “LOUISE, I DON’T KNOW
HOW FAR WE’VE COME DOWN THIS ROAD
THIS TOWN DON’T HOLD THE SAME FASCINATION
I DON’T KNOW WHICH WAY WE SHOULD GO”
HE LOOKS ACROSS
TO THE SUN SINKING DOWN
IN THE SHIMMERING, SHIMMERING GOLD
‘I DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY CALL A PLACE YOU CAN’T RETURN FROM…
LORD…
I DON’T WANT TO KNOW’
SUCH A LONG WAY TO HEAVEN
SUCH A LONG WAY HOME
TIRED AND ALONE
AND A LONG WAY FROM HOME
JOHNNY AND SWEET, SWEET LOUISE…
PULLED THEIR HOPES
OUT OF THE OCEAN
HAND IN HAND IN THE SWEET SUMMER BREEZE
SUCH A LONG WAY TO HEAVEN
SUCH A LONG WAY HOME
WHEN YOU’RE DOWN UPON YOUR LUCK
YOU’RE LUCKY TO HAVE SOMEONE YOU CAN HOLD
A LONG WAY TO HEAVEN
A LONG WAY HOME…

I COULD BE RIGHT
I GUESS I COULD BE WRONG
A CHANGE OF HEART
CAN COME AROUND WITH JUST A SONG
SO TURN THAT FROWN UPSIDE DOWN
IT’S SUCH A LOVELY DAY
AND IF THIS WORLD GETS YOU DOWN
LOVE WILL FIND A WAY
HERE COMES TROUBLE
RED SKIES OVER DAWN
HALF MOON RISIN’
ON A SAN FRANCISCO LAWN
TURN MY WORLD UPSIDE DOWN
IT’S SUCH A LOVELY DAY
AND IF THIS WORLD GETS YOU DOWN
LOVE WILL FIND A WAY
I’M IN BLUE HEAVEN
WITH A POCKETFUL OF DIMES
CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE
GONNA DO THAT EVERYTIME
TURN THAT WORLD UPSIDE DOWN
IT’S SUCH A LOVELY DAY
THIS BIG OL’ WORLD WON’T GET YOU DOWN
COS LOVE WILL FIND A WAY
I COULD BE RIGHT
I GUESS I COULD BE WRONG
BUT I HEARD LOUIS
SING ABOUT IT IN A SONG
SO TURN THAT FROWN UPSIDE DOWN
IT’S SUCH A LOVELY DAY
AND IF THIS WORLD GETS YOU DOWN
LOVE WILL FIND A WAY…

SAY GOODBYE TO DONNIE G
AND WILY BO…
THEY’RE LEAVING IN THE MORNING
FOR A LIFE OF ROCK AND ROLL
SAY THEY'RE TIRED OF ALL THIS HANGING AROUND
YOU KNOW THAT TIME
AIN'T GOOD FOR NOTHING
IN THIS GODFORSAKEN TOWN…
SUSIE CHILD ITS A PERFECT DISGRACE
YOU'VE GOT A PERFECT DISGUISE
UNDER THAT PERFECT FACE
DRIFTING AROUND BETWEEN THE STARS AND THE MOON AND THE SUN
YOU'VE GOT TO USE WHAT TIME HAS GIVEN WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG
WHEN YOU'RE STILL YOUNG…
WELL I WAS TALKING WITH MY FRIENDS
JUST THE OTHER DAY
TRYING TO FIND ME SOME SWEET PEACE OF MIND
SOMEHOW SOMEWHERE WE ALL GO OUR SEPARATE WAYS
SEARCHING FOR OUR ANGELS…
ANGELS IN THE NIGHT
ON A DIRT TRACK ROAD
ON A HOT SUMMERS DAY
I WAS STARING THROUGH THE SHIMMER
AT THOSE STEELYARD GRAVES
COMES A TIME
WE'VE ALL GOT TO GET AWAY…
YOU MIGHT LOSE
WHAT TIME HAS GIVEN YOU ONE DAY
SO LONG BABY
BABY SO LONG
WHAT YOU’VE GOT ONE MOMENT
AH YOU KNOW THE NEXT ITS GONE
KEEP IT SHINING HONEY
SHINING LIKE A LIGHT
SEARCHING FOR THOSE ANGELS…
ANGELS IN THE NIGHT…

DID I FORGET TO TELL YOU I LOVE YOU
I GUESS MY DRINKIN’ GOT IN THE WAY
AND ALL THE STARS SHINING ABOVE YOU
COULDN’T KEEP ME FROM LOSING MY WAY
NOW I’M ALL BROKEN DOWN
ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN
I THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD HAVE ONE MORE DAY
DID I FORGET TO TELL YOU I LOVE YOU
I GUESS THE ANGELS WILL HEAR ME TODAY
DID I FORGET TO TELL YOU I NEEDED YOU
I NEEDED YOU MORE WITH EACH PASSING DAY
DID I FORGET TO SAY I BELIEVE IN YOU
BELIEVE IN YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY
WELL I’VE ALREADY GONE
AND WROTE IT DOWN IN A SONG
I HOPE THAT YOU WILL HEAR IT ONE DAY
DID I FORGET TO TELL YOU I LOVE YOU
WELL THOSE WERE THE WORDS THAT I WANTED TO SAY
NOW I’M ALL BROKEN DOWN
ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN
I THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD HAVE ONE MORE DAY
DID I FORGET TO TELL YOU I LOVE YOU…
WELL THOSE WERE THE WORDS THAT I WANTED TO SAY
GOODBYE BABY
IT’S BEEN A LONG, LONG, LONG LONELY DAY
SO LONG DARLING
MAYBE, MAYBE ONE DAY…
GOODBYE BABY
ALL THE ANGELS WILL HEAR ME TODAY…
SO LONG DARLING…
GOODBYE BABE…

JENNY
YOU WENT AWAY
WITH A DIAMOND SNAKE
A WHOLE LOT OF PAIN IN YOUR HEART
THOUGHT I HEARD YOU SAY
YOU'RE COMING BACK
BUT THOSE DREAMS TURNED TO DUST
IN THE DARK
IN THE DARK
I KEEP THINKING ABOUT
THE TIMES THAT WE HAD
TEARS WE CRIED IN THE RAIN
AND THOSE MEMORIES
COME BACK TO ME, GIRL
JENNY
NOW THAT YOU'RE GONE
I CAN'T SAY ALL THE THINGS I WANTED TO SAY TO YOU
JENNY
IN THE COLD LIGHT OF DAWN
I JUST HOPE THESE WORDS GET THROUGH…
JENNY
THERE'S A MEMORY
AND A PHOTOGRAPH
I KEEP LOCKED AWAY IN A DRAWER
ALL THOSE SOUVENIRS
WE HELD SO DEAR
I JUST CAN'T FACE…
JENNY
NOW THAT YOU'RE GONE
I CAN'T SAY ALL THE THINGS I WANTED TO SAY TO YOU
JENNY
IN THE COLD LIGHT OF DAWN
I JUST HOPE THIS SONG GETS THROUGH…
JENNY
I LOVE YOU JENNY…
LORD, I LOVE YOU CHILD…
I STILL LOVE YOU JENNY
REMEMBER ALL THOSE TEARS THAT WE CRIED
WALKING BAREFOOT IN THE PARK
I REMEMBER THE NIGHT THAT YOU…
JENNY
YOU WENT AWAY
WITH A DIAMOND SNAKE
A WHOLE LOT OF PAIN IN YOUR HEART
THOUGHT I HEARD YOU SAY
YOU'RE COMING BACK
BUT THOSE DREAMS TURNED TO DUST IN THE DARK
ALL THOSE DREAMS TURNED TO DUST IN THE DARK
ALL THOSE DREAMS TURNED TO DUST…
AND THE MEMORY THAT I HAVE OF YOU
IS THE NIGHTMARE OF YOU
TURNING BLUE
IN MY ARMS
ALONE IN MY ARMS…
ALONE…
IN MY ARMS…
IN MY ARMS
WON’T YOU COME BACK HOME TO ME
TO MY ARMS…
IN MY ARMS
TRACES OF YOU IN MY ARMS
TRACES OF YOU IN MY ARMS
TRACES OF YOU IN MY ARMS
THERE ARE TRACES IN MY ARMS
TRACES IN MY ARMS
TRACES…

HEAVEN KNOWS WHO MIGHT HAVE SENT YOU
HEAVEN KNOWS WHERE YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN
BUT REVENGE MUST SEEM LIKE SUCH A SWEET, SWEET THING
TO A PRETTY GIRL OF SEVENTEEN
TELLING STORIES OF YOU GUNNING FOR THE HEART OF THIS TOWN
TELLING STORIES OF YOUR COMRADES IN HELL
WELL THERE’S ONE DAMNED STORY NEVER ECHOES A SOUND
THROUGH THE STREETS OF EVANSVILLE…
YOU’RE RUNNING WILD
RUNNING OUT OF CONTROL
YOU AND THE DEVIL PLAYING CARDS FOR A PIECE OF YOUR SOUL
YOU’RE RUNNING WILD
RUNNING OUT OF CONTROL
THEY FOUND YOUR DADDY DEAD LATE ONE NIGHT
SAID HE GOT DRUNK – HE SLIPPED AND FELL
BUT THERE WERE SHADOWS RUNNING THROUGH THE PALE MOONLIGHT
RUNNING DOWN PAST CARTERS WELL
THEY BURNED YOUR MOTHERS TRAILER
YOUR KIND AIN’T WELCOME IN THIS TOWN
WHEN THEY WERE SIFTING THROUGH THE ASHES, HONEY,
YOUR BODY WAS NEVER FOUND
YOU’RE RUNNING WILD
RUNNING OUT OF CONTROL
YOU AND THE DEVIL PLAYING CARDS FOR A PIECE OF YOUR SOUL
YOU’RE RUNNING WILD
RUNNING OUT OF CONTROL
I SAW YOU LAST NIGHT IN THE PAPER
PRETTY GIRL MAKING FRONT PAGE NEWS
WITH A SMILE AS WIDE AS THAT PAIN YOU HIDE
IT READ THAT YOU HAD NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
IT READ HOW YOU’D HESITATED
BEFORE YOU BLEW THE GAS STATION AND THE LIQUOR STORE
AND THAT A GUN IS NO EXCUSE FOR HATRED
AND FOR ALWAYS CRYING OUT, CRYING OUT FOR MORE…
YOU’RE RUNNING WILD
RUNNING OUT OF CONTROL
YOU AND THE DEVIL PLAYING CARDS FOR A PIECE OF YOUR SOUL
YOU’RE RUNNING WILD
RUNNING OUT OF CONTROL

I’VE BEEN WALKING WITH THE DEVIL
THE DEVIL BY MY SIDE
WALKING WITH THE DEVIL
THE DEVIL BY MY SIDE
THAT DEVIL TOOK MY WOMAN
ON A MIDNIGHT RIDE…
THE DEVIL TOOK MY BABY
THE DEVIL TOOK MY KNIFE
THE DEVIL TOOK MY WOMAN
AND TWISTED
DEEP INSIDE
I HEARD MY BABY SCREAMING
SHE LOOKED ME IN THE EYE
MY BABY SHE WAS SCREAMING
SHE LOOKED ME IN THE EYE
DON'T YOU LOVE ME BABY
DON'T YOU LOVE ME CHILD…
AND SHE SAID…
ALL OF THE WORDS THAT SHE SAID
THE DEVIL TOOK MY BABY
AND A FEVER STARTED BURNING IN MY HEAD…
I’VE BEEN WALKING WITH THE DEVIL
THE DEVIL BY MY SIDE
THE DEVIL TOOK MY WOMAN
AND I SWEAR I LOST MY MIND
YEAH…
I’VE BEEN WALKING WITH THE DEVIL
TALKING WITH THE DEVIL
ALL NIGHT LONG
ALL NIGHT LONG…

I'VE GOT TIME ON MY HANDS
WELL I'VE GOT MONEY IN MY POCKET
I FEEL THE COOL WINTER BREEZE
WHISTLE THROUGH THE TREES
SHE HAS MY PICTURE IN HER LOCKET
I'M GOING TO CALIFORNIA
WITH A SUITCASE FULL OF SIN
A WORLD OF BAD INTENTION
AND A DREAM TO RAP
A DREAM TO WRAP THEM IN
I GOT A DREAM TO WRAP THEM IN…
I GOT THE SCREAMING OF THE TYRES
THE HOWLING OF THE BLUES
I’VE GOT MYSELF NOT A DAMN THING LEFT…
I GOT THE MOON SHINING ABOVE ME
I GOT THE ROAD STRETCHING OUT AHEAD
GOT A BELLY FULL OF BOURBON, BABY
AND THE WORDS I HEARD YOU'D SAID
A MADMAN IN MY SOUL
TROUBLE IN MY MIND
A WORLD OF PROMISE BROKEN
THAT I JUST CAN’T LEAVE
I JUST CAN’T LEAVE BEHIND
I JUST CAN’T LEAVE BEHIND…
I GOT THE SCREAMING OF THE TYRES
THE HOWLING OF THESE BLUES
I’VE GOT MYSELF
NOT A DAMN THING LEFT
TO LOSE…
I GOT THE MOON SHINING ABOVE ME
I GOT THE ROAD STRETCHING OUT AHEAD
IF IT ALL ADDS UP
TO SOMETHING IN THE MORNING
WELL THEN GIRL WE’D BE BETTER OFF DEAD…
A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK I'VE GOT NOBODY
A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK I’M ALONE
BUT DON'T THE MOON ON THE GROUND
MAKE SUCH A DELICATE SOUND
AND THE STARS…
WELL THEY’RE MADE OUT OF STONE…
AND I'VE GOT LOVE AND I'VE GOT HATE
TATTOOED ACROSS MY HANDS
THE SINS OF THE FATHERS
GET FORGOTTEN IN THIS LAND!
BUT NO MORE…
I SAID NOW BABY NO MORE

LISTEN TO YOUR HEARTBEAT, BABY
CAN YOU FEEL IT NEXT TO MINE
LIFT YOUR LOVELIGHT TO THE WORLD
AND LET IT SHINE
CAN YOU HEAR THOSE WAVES A-CRASHING
DARLING,
SOUND LIKE THUNDER ON THE SHORE
BREATHE IN DEEP THE NIGHT
LET YOUR SPIRIT SOAR
BABY
I WILL TAKE YOU BY THE HAND
WHEN I SAY THAT I WILL DIE FOR YOU
I HOPE YOU'LL UNDERSTAND
BABY
I WILL BE THERE FOR YOU
WHEN YOUR DEEP SEPTEMBER RED
TURNS TOO…
WHEN THE DARKEST SHADOWS FALL
CAST YOUR NIGHTMARES TO THE WALL
I WILL HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS
SHELTERED FROM IT ALL
WHEN THOSE DEMONS IN THE NIGHT
LORD, AND THAT LIGHTNING STARTS TO STRIKE
I WILL TAKE YOU BY YOUR HAND
AND LEAD YOU TO THE LIGHT
BABY
I AM JUST A MAN
WHEN I SAY THAT I WILL DIE FOR YOU
I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND
BABY
I WILL BE THERE FOR YOU
WHEN YOUR DEEP SEPTEMBER RED
TURNS TO WINTER BLUE
BABY
I WILL TAKE YOU BY THE HAND
WHEN I SAY THAT I WILL DIE FOR YOU
I HOPE YOU'LL UNDERSTAND
BABY
I WILL BE THERE FOR YOU
WHEN YOUR DEEP SEPTEMBER RED
TURNS TOO…
BABY
I AM JUST A MAN
WHEN I SAY THAT I WILL DIE FOR YOU
I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND
