The lady of the house goes up in ashes
He crawled out through the future but the past came back too soon
And the present just occurs in sudden flashes
Chorus:
But in your eyes I see the pain
Help me ride this crazy train
I am lost and you are smilin' in the rain
Everybody's looking for a place to live their dreams
Main street paints a face on lonely lovers
Strangers meet with blindfolds on and hope they're what they seem
And everybody wants to have each other
Chorus
Well the giving, is the sacred thing
It's just the livin' that don't seem right
But for all the light that shines on me
Your light sets me free
Oh please stay with me tonight
The battle zone is quiet, all the appetites are gone
The soldier and his woman let the wounds heal
Knowing that tomorrow all the raging will go on
If only to remember how their love feels
Chorus
The fallen angel shivers underneath the august moon The lady of the house goes up in ashes He crawled out through the future but the past came back too soon And the present just occurs in sudden flashes Chorus: But in your eyes I see the pain Help me ride this crazy train I am lost and you are smilin' in the rain Everybody's looking for a place to live their dreams Main street paints a face on lonely lovers Strangers meet with blindfolds on and hope they're what they seem And everybody wants to have each other Chorus Well the giving, is the sacred thing It's just the livin' that don't seem right But for all the light that shines on me Your light sets me free Oh please stay with me tonight The battle zone is quiet, all the appetites are gone The soldier and his woman let the wounds heal Knowing that tomorrow all the raging will go on If only to remember how their love feels Chorus Explain Request ×
