Turn the tide Open wide Now I see I am free But I don't love it like I should No desire I miss the fire Burn the bridge Scratch the itch Breaking glass It has passed I am still clawing at the walls Cutting the wires I miss the fire I don't know If I can take Another minute or if I'll just break Coldest sweat Old regret Falling slow Far to go I'd say I wish you well Then I'd be a liar I miss the fire I don't know If I can take Another minute or if I'll just break (x2) Down again my friend (x2) I don't know If I can take Another minute or if I'll just break

Stay with me Don't let me go Into the unknown Been a friend to me Now it's strange to see You standing on your own Your memory still lingers like the phantom limb Through the dying light Comes the memory Of all that we once were And the joyful sight Of a history That never could be blurred Your memory still lingers like the phantom limb

Give me all your love I need it now Give me all you have I don't care how Much you have to give It will do As long as I live I'll be loving you All the roads I've taken had one end in sight Come with me I want to dance with you tonight Underneath the street-lamps and the pale moonlight But where do we go from here Wait for the fog to clear And hold me near So give me all your love I need it now Give me all you have I don't care how Much you have to give It will do As long as I live I'll be loving you How my heart is aching just for you these days Still I often wonder will it be okay Once our conversations have a slight delay But where do we go from here Wait for the fog to clear And hold me near So give me all your love I need it now Give me all you have I don't care how Much you have to give It will do As long as I live I'll be loving you Give me all your love I need it now Give me all you have I don't care how Much you have to give It will do As long as I live I'll be loving you

What you waiting for? You're not imprisoned by these walls There's no bars or chains Not a soul to blame You hold the empty gun You're still staring into the sun And as you taste the flames Got your soul to blame You don't need anyone So you say, so you say You don't need anything You say you don't need anyone or anything I know those lies They're written in your eyes Between whiskey and gin You don't know where to begin Can't seem to drag your feet away Just your soles to blame The photograph it fades And all your memories cascade As you forget the name Of the soul to blame You say you don't need anyone or anything I know those lies They're written in your eyes

By the time the box had opened I had seen it all, I'd seen it all And by the time your mother had spoken I had heard it all, I'd heard it all It was life a wave of blood and hair and mud Oh what I sight I couldn't see or touch or feel that much But it's still alright Om mani padme hum om vajrapani hum Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha As Ganesha rose their arms up I had felt it all, I'd felt it all As the lotus started to blossom I would stand up tall, I'd stand up tall It was like a storm a choir the dawn on fire Like nothing before I felt the tide the sand inside my hand No space for more and sing Om mani padme hum om vajrapani hum Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha

Half a lifetime drinking red, red wine In my trailer on the front porch I'll be fine Several Hours with the flower-beds Don't disturb me with your memories I'm half-dead And I would tell you that I love you if I still had air that I could breathe Oh I wouldn't leave you alone waiting only for me I'll see you back in 1993 Make a visit to the restaurant Creature comforts extra gravy with your steak Big mistake you ghostly debutant No-one took a first-aid course back in those days And I would tell you that I love you if you still had air that you could breathe Oh I wouldn't leave you alone waiting only for me Yeah, I would tell you that I love you if you still had air that you could breathe Oh I wouldn't leave you alone waiting only for me I'll see you back in 1993
