Lyrics

Been six years and I’m still learning to fly

Crawling from the ashes that used to be my life

I escaped from the American dream
Into the worst nightmare I’ve ever seen
It’s been six years and I’m still learning to cry

I’m coming home – It’s been too long – Life’s a lonely road

I used to have a kid and a girl – called them my own
Things started going south – I wound up alone
Now all i have are these glass walls – the higher he

sits the farther he falls
I used to have a kid and a girl – left them alone

I’m coming home – It’s been too long – Life’s a lonely road

Who are you to judge me?

(I know you know I cared for you…the way I always bled for you)

Is your place above me?
No, no, no, no – I’m coming…

Home (I didn’t want to run away – I couldn’t face you if I stayed)
Home (I won’t feel better til I’m home – you’ll hold me til the pain is gone)

It’s fundamental – I’m sentimental over you

I’ve been around the world been searching
for an answer for the way we act
I found broken hearts just heading for disaster
Baby that’s a fact
I’m leaving it all up to you
Til face-to-face you tell me we’re through

It’s consequential – I’m sentimental over you

On my way home late at night – if i pass by
And the light’s still on over your door
I rattle and shake and i tremble and quake
And I can’t seem to fake i can’t find my way
Anymore – I can’t lie

When I come home and i’m feeling alone
I call out for you
My singing won’t hide that i’m dying inside
What else can i do?
My memories will all find a way
To haunt me and leave me to say

Baby blue come fly away with me
My baby blue and i go flying away – baby blue please stay

And then as I dreamed on – my troubles falling from me

The images of you through my life walking right beside me

and then I woke to find – the answers I would come to

and if you’ll take me back I promise I won’t dream without you

Baby blue come fly away with me
my baby blue and I go flying way

I want – I need – I had it all the time

I’ve found that I’d be safe in your blue eyes

I fell asleep last night – and then I dreamed about you

and if you take me back I promise I won’t dream without you

Looking here, there, everywhere I took a plane or two
Trains and cars and late night bars, did what I could do

Then one night out on the road I saw her standing there
I waved to her – she turned to me – I fell in love – she did not care

I asked her name and she just smiled and turned away
I took her hand and asked again, but all she had to say was

That’s the way that night had ended before it began
This dream I had when I awoke I tried to understand
And I found the note she left me where she said goodbye
I’d spend my life serching for her – I need to find the answer why

And when you left me, well my life grew dim
Was left with nothing to begin again
Never saw it coming, it wasn’t on your face

My eyes erased what you saw in him

Now when I see you, I say my, my, my

You were the one for me, for all my life

And when I see you, I say my, my, my

You are the one for me, and if we cannot be
Don’t need to know why

It’s not for me to stay, its not for me to go
think I’ve lost my way, you should know

First he told all the people “We’re gonna’ take care of here”

Then he tore it apart and he ripped out its heart
so many people were living in fear

You thought that we were always sleeping wide awake
You thought that we were always sleeping wide awake

Then he sent out a message – all his friends gathered ‘round

We’re gonna’ get us everything that we need”

And then he watched those southerners drown

You thought that we were always sleeping wide awake
You thought that we were always sleeping wide awake

You thought that we were always sleeping wide awake
You thought that we were always sleeping wide awake

He’s got us fighting his war now – so many young men are gone
He gave them a gun and he told them “have fun”
and they won’t be coming home

Generals send him a message – a telegram from the soul

We gotta’ get it right – gotta’ choose our own fight

Before the country is out of control

Monday morning’s still dark – I never did recover
I can’t believe five more of these
and what I’ll do is to do it again

I’d like to fix that hole in the road
Head for the deep blue water
Dip my toes in the ocean, let it wash over me

A hundred years on the job – a lot of early mornings

Should take the time ‘cause I’m feeling fine

It’s what the doc said I oughta’ do

Touch of gray on the top – I’ll call it early warning
I got my mind – I’m still keeping time
It ain’t too late to try something new

Hitch the car to a star

We’ll let it ride, ride, ride
Into the sunset you and I

So they sent me far away
I wait to hear from you here every day
Are you still with me, still smile when you

think of me

I feel so all alone

I look around – emptiness is all I’ve found here

Don’t feel any freer than before

I found a home – in my dreams where I belong
I’ll be back in your arms this time tomorrow

Only ghosts live in the past

The living realize life goes too fast

Time is fleeting – I’ll try to keep my heart beating

So you won’t feel so all alone

I look around – pain and chaos is all around
me
Don’t see any clearer than before

I found a home – in my dreams where I belong
I’ll be back in your arms this time tomorrow

The river’s rising, got nowhere to go
It’s heating up and it’s moving fast

Hold onto me and I will hold onto you
It seems nobody’s knowing
Exactly where we’re going

The weather’s changing, the sky’s closing in
It’s getting dark and it’s moving fast

Stay close to me and i’ll stay close to you
The fading stars can’t guide us

our love – it must provide us

Before we got together I was happy to be on my own
As time went by
I never dreamed that I would end up alone

Where are those words that you once said to me?

Were they just lies waiting to be free?
And when you wander on back don’t be surprised if no one is home

Don’t you feel like you’re wasting time?
Well I feel like you’re wasting mine

I found some space inside my crowded heart and I made room for you

But what you’re doing lately – it only makes me want to run from you

I cannot oblige you or abide the things you do

You make me run in circles – it’s crazy keeping up – can’t find the time

Who’s life should I be true to, why do you think love has to be unkind

So are you with me or is my imagination all I see
‘cause while i’m chasing you I’m missing all the things I want to be

I cannot oblige you or abide the things you do

Sit beside me – come confide in me – make me believe that all is well
Look in my eyes – make me realize – make me believe that all is well

So are you with me or is my imagination all I see
‘cause while i’m chasing you I’m watching life pass by in front of me
