There are no answers,
There is no guide,
We are like sailors, blown on the tide.
Eyes in the shadows,
Faces in dreams,
Love if you're lucky to know what it means, but
Don't trust the Angels
You meet along the way,
Who make it clear that Heaven's here
And everything will be ok.
Just trust the Angels
Who tell you in the night
There's Hell on Earth
But it's worth the fight.
Hiding from Heaven,
Down in the dirt,
I am a soldier,
Born to be hurt.
Cries in the silence,
Lies in the dark,
I Will forever hold you in my heart,
So...
Don't trust the Angels
You meet along the way,
Who make it clear that Heaven's here
And everything will be ok.
Just trust the Angels
Who tell you in the night
There's Hell on Earth
But it's worth the fight.
(Instrumental solo)
Don't trust the Angels
You meet along the way,
Who make it clear that Heaven's here
And everything will be ok.
Just trust the Angels
Who tell you in the night
There's Hell on Earth
But it's worth the fight.
Don't trust the Angels
You meet along the way,
Who make it clear that Heaven's here
And everything will be ok.
Just trust the Angels
Who tell you in the night
There's Hell on Earth
But it's worth the fight.
Rolling
With the tide
Amy floats downstream;
Now she
Dreams of me
Amen
Bad men
Over there
Shot my daddy down.
Nothing
I could do
Amen
Hey,
Everybody
Look away from the screen
Look away while Amy floats downstream
Hey,
Everybody
Look away from the screen
Look away while Amy floats downstream
After
Nights of fear
Georgie went away,
Ooh, it's
Lonely now,
Amen
Rolling
With the tide
Amy floats downstream;
Now she
Dreams of me
Amen
Hey,
Everybody
Look away from the screen
Look away while Amy floats downstream
Hey,
Everybody
Look away from the screen
Look away while Amy floats downstream
Everywhere you go
Nobody wants to know, or
Gives a damn
Looking
Away, pretending
Not to see,
Darling...
Rest there
While you can
All the pain is gone,
No more
Days like these,
Amen
Hey,
Everybody
Look away from the screen
Look away while Amy floats downstream
Hey,
Everybody
Look away from the screen
Look away while Amy floats downstream
She is proud, she is bright,
She is loud, she's a dancer in the night,
She is faithful and strong
And I know that the flame burns on...
There is no feeling better than this
There is no way to get higher.
There's a flame burning deep in my soul
And my whole body's on fire,
And the flame burns on...
She is warm, she is sane,
She's a storm, she's a dancer in the rain
But she likes to belong
And she knows that the flame burns on...
There is no feeling better than this
There is no way to get higher.
There's a flame burning deep in my soul
And my whole body's on fire,
And the flame burns on...
There is no feeling better than this
There is no way to get higher.
There's a flame burning deep in my soul
And my whole body's on fire,
And the flame burns on...
And the flame burns on...
How can I thing I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?
This is the closest thing to crazy
I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy
I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own:
And now I know
That there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness
And being close to you.
How can you make me fall apart?
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart;
It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?
This is the closest thing to crazy
I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy
I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own:
And now I know
That there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness
And being close to you.
Why did this despolation pick on me tonight?
Why does this friendly room
Seem like a tomb without you?
You were my inspiration, you were my guiding light
You were the one I knew would see me through...
Who was the fool who said that only women bleed?
'Cause I am the fool who knows it isn't true;
Who was the fool who said that love is all you need?
I've got love but it's no good to me
'Cause it's love for you.
In my imagination I still see you here,
And in this empty place I see your face beside me.
You're my hallucination, soon to dissapear,
Only the pain I feel is there for real...
Who was the fool who said that only women bleed?
'Cause I am the fool who knows it isn't true;
Who was the fool who said that love is all you need?
I've got love but it's no good to me
'Cause it's love for you.
(Instrumental solo)
Who was the fool who said that only women bleed?
'Cause I am the fool who knows it isn't true;
Who was the fool who said that love is all you need?
I've got love but it's no good to me
'Cause it's love for you.
There was no sound but the rhythm of your breathing,
No sound at all on that lonely night.
And never in my life have I believed it more than then,
That people live again,
But when I die, let it be in your arms.
There were no words, just a silent understanding,
No words could say what we always knew,
And I don't want to go, but I believe that when I do,
I will be with you,
And when I die, let it be in your arms.
I was there when the cold wind cut you like a knife
As you walked with me on the high hills of my life.
There was no sound but the rhythm of your breathing,
No sound at all on that lonely night.
And never in my life have I believed it more than then,
That people live again,
But when I die, let it be in your arms.
When I die, let it be in your arms.
