Innocence and Reality - Amos & Margaret Raber

Never felt alone 'til the late night Never knew she was my home 'til the tears dried Working on the karma, but it takes time Innocence and sadness was a fine line Better savour every moment as it flies by Every minute, boy, better live it, boy Maybe someday you'll be happy for me, oh, I Every minute, boy, steady rhythm joy The reason I stay, well, I need you today Baby, I would bleed in your name I'm trying to be who you need me to be I would have waited for you all night to talk for a minute I'll sing into the cold dark night 'til you listen People spend their life heads down, souls hidden I'm trying to be who you need me to be, well Never felt alone 'til the late night Never knew she was my home 'til the king cried Lost inside the forest, but it feels fine Innocence and sadness in the same night All the love that just got stolen from your wide eyes Every minute, boy, better live it, boy Let your tears erode my shoulder like a cliff side Heavy minutes, boy, steady rhythm, joy The reason I stay, well, I need you today Baby, I would bleed in your name I'm trying to be who you need me to be I would have waited for you all night to talk for a minute I'll sing into the cold dark night, you listen Some people spend their life heads down, souls hidden I'm trying to be who you need me to be I'd do anything for smiles, I'd move heaven and earth Nobody told me at the start how heaven can hurt I'll be waiting under streetlight at Bowery and third Know I was waiting on ya, know I was waiting on ya Darling, don't spend another second wondering what you're worth Don't you ever get affected by the ways of this world Wouldn't say my soul's protected, but there's something at work I was waiting on ya, know I was waiting on ya Better savour every moment as it flies by Every minute, boy, better live it, boy Return me safely, turn me homeward at the right time Every minute, boy, steady rhythm, joy Better savour every moment as it flies by Every minute, boy, better live it, boy Return me safely, turn me homeward at the right time Heavy minutes, boy, steady rhythm, joy

I don't need a virgin I don't want a whore I can't get an angel I'm not sure what I am searching for My dreams and reality Are worlds which collide Confusion, illusion, are dancing side by side Why don't you take, why don't you make me Believe in something real Don't hesitate, don't you push me away Come the dawn, finally (Chorus) I've been alone, but barely holding my own Here waiting for you to call Can't you see the wound inside of me That's bleeding Time after time I've been left in my despair What have I learned Is it just not to care Is it too much to ask for The will to be free How can I sift through all the lies The pressure is starting to tear – It's all I can bear Why don't you take, why don't you make me Believe in something real Don't hesitate, don't push me away Come the dawn, finally (Chorus) I've been alone, but barely holding my own Here waiting for you to call Can't you see the wound inside of me That's bleeding Still I'm here waiting, for a miracle, so damn frustrating, To believe at all

It is five o'clock The evening-glow tells me A treasure of our memories It's become empty somehow You held out a small hand Smiling like to you it was so natural It may have no meaning But it is something I cannot do You touched my hand without thinking But it was nice for me All the time we believed That the world was in your hands We were wrong Maybe it wasn't I just wanna hope so when I'm holding your hand Would you hold my hand? Could I have ever said that? I can't remember (I can't remember) Why is it unclear? I guess I'm just not who I used to be At times I cried and cried And at times I smiled All the time we could not believe That the world was in our hands We were wrong In fact it was Cause you're holding my hand now We've always been a part of the world And the world has never changed How about you? how about me? We just know that we have changed All the time we believed That the world was in your hands We were wrong Maybe it wasn't Cause you're holding my hand now We've always been a part of the world And the world has never changed How about you? how about me? We just know that we have changed Every moment Everywhere I can believe I can believe When I'm holding your warm hand Your warm hand At times I cried and cried And at times I smiled
