I got no love
to fill my heart

And nothing left
to warm my blood

I got no wings
I cannot fly

No way to go
until I die

So bury me
in a shallow grave

Let the wind
take me away



I got no love
to fill my arms

And nothing left
to ease my mind

I got no joy
I cannot fly

No place to go
but where I lie

When my last breath
is hanging low

Let it find you
in the wind

I don’t know when
I’m going to change my ways

I don’t know when
There will be better days

But I’m all right now
The winds have blown away

I’m all right now
I said goodbye to yesterday

And I don’t need
What never came

Anymore

And I don’t need
Words never said

Anymore


I don’t know when
The tide will turn my way

I don’t know when
I’ll be standing where I lay

But I do know now
That you are here with me

And I do know now
That you are all I need

So if you stay
By my side

Forevermore

I won’t feel
Where I have bled

Anymore

I’m all right now
I’m all right now

There you were

above the chaos and the sound
of fury on the ground

There you were

above the shadows and the fog
when everyone had gone

There you were

a floating river
to carry me away

The rain is falling down
it’s trying to take away the ground

But there’s a place for you and me
above the rivers and the sea

So let the rain
come pouring down


Let it soak into the hills
let the lakes drink up their fill

Until the sky
has emptied all the clouds

And the sun
shines over what has drowned


‘Cause there’s a place for you and me
above the rivers and the sea

Let the rain
come pouring down

when you are down
you must be stronger

than those around
who try to help

but don’t see
what’s got you down

or what you’re doing
to get up

and only see you
on the ground

you must be stronger
than those around

to help the helpers
look up at you

stronger

When I die
and am buried
in the ground

Don't cry
upon the site
where I am found

But mark my grave
with a familiar cheer

"I'd rather be sailing"

Remember all the joyful years
that we have shared

And know that when it is our time
I will be there

To venture past
horizon's end
with you

Once more.

I was cruising right along
with the radio on
and my favorite song
was playing
in my ears.

I had an open road
with the sun at my back
and the wind
was flying
through my hair.

And I felt like the sky
when it touches the ground
and is everywhere
it wants to be.

But that feeling
didn't last
'cuz I was running
out of gas

So I think I'm
gonna be staying
here for a while.

I need someone
to help me out of this place,

I need someone
to look at my face,

I need someone
to get me going again.


I'll be sitting in my car
with the radio on
cranking out songs
by the side of the road.


I'll be looking around
for the nearest town
and try and make it
on my own.

But I think I'm
gonna be staying
here for a while

And I need someone
to see where I am,

I need someone
to understand,

I need someone
to get me going again.


Won't you
stay a little while
with me?

Won't you stay
here for a while?
