Night sky a crying
Broken glass decree
I am trying so hard
Just to get where you are
Whistle my name baby
And I'll be on my way

When you're away
I don't know who to be
The cities a rumbling
And my souls a tumbling
After I met you
There was just no other way
What else is there but love
And you and me under the sun

The clock strikes four
Yet your'e looking for the door.
I ask, "Why won't you stay?"
While my soul falls into decay
A faint smile, a sigh while I say,
"You know I'm willing to pay."
Stars outside my window shutter
As my mouth can only mutter
Near a beauty so divine
I got the line for you baby
If you got the time, Sadie.

Trees against the blue sky line
We were never the quiet kind
But when I'm with you
And only you
You make every falseness in the world
Seem true
Why can't it be
Any other way?
What else is there to do
But obey?

When we're out of money
Oh' when we're out in the cold
We'll look back on our lives
And remember
We never did what we were told
Breaking the mold
Chipping the ice
Three pairs of diamonds in your hair
Six pair of dice

At longest last
We never we'll make it
The stop sign
Showed too soon
What we wanted
Was what we never needed
I hold an old tune in my head
And I lady I love
In bed
Can it be that this misery
Was all just
Make believe?

I opened the door to see
A new life,
And a face I did not recognize
I slipped on the shoes,
The t-shirt too.
I wondered if
They could be
The right size while all the while
I was thinking
What I had left behind.

All my friends
All of my enemies
Oh you know
They were with me
Even when
I was away
On trips just down the block
Or planetary.
The world's a crazy place
With smiles and frowns, tears and
Disgrace.

In my life so far
I've met only one man
Who had the courage
To show
His true face.
