Loving on Borrowed Time - Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes

The midnight sky; creation's hall of divine dreams Through the parted veil, a secret's forming as we breathe If you close your eyes and think about tomorrow We're all living on borrowed time There's a path of light where the rays of sunrise meet On the darkest trail, constellations guide my sail In a year of light; the red star to follow... and I'll be there When I close my eyes or find you in my sleep A fireplace and a winter's storm (miles away) Will you remember me Will you call tonight? Will You call tomorrow We're all living on borrowed time

Well I'm swimming in debt and the money's all gone I ain't got nothing I can call my own Worked my fingers to the blood and bone For a big disappointment when my paycheck comes If I only had a little I could do just fine I could put a downpayment on some peace of mind But I'm hangin' on the end of a credit line Lord I'm just livin' on borrowed time My truck's financed through the union bank But I don't have enough to even fill the tank I'd take you for a drive girl but I just can't 'Cause the damned old motor won't even crank Our trailer's plenty big if we lived outside But I can't swing the payments on a double-wide You'd better hold a place in that welfare line 'Cause I'm just living on borrowed time If it comes real cheap but it don't come free Then it stays off-limits to a guy like me They say it brings trouble having money to burn I reckon that's a lesson I won't have to learn Lord, no (Break) Well if it comes real cheap but it don't come free Then it stays off-limits to a guy like me They say it brings trouble having money to burn I reckon that's a lesson I won't have to learn Yeah, I bought my wife a little diamond ring Her mom said, "Huh, can't even see that thing" It'll be paid off when I'm sixty-five If I'm lucky enough to still be alive Even if I was to up and pass away My family doesn't have enough to dig my grave No tombstone, just an old wood sign saying "He was just livin' on borrowed time" Out there swinging from a credit line Lord I'm just livin' on borrowed time Lord I'm just livin' on borrowed time

I smell the bullshit I'm getting sick of it Living on borrowed time so I'll die tomorrow, yeah (Die, yeah) Living in yellow skin so I shed and borrow (Shed and borrow) Okay, okay, okay I fuckin' get it Okay, okay, okay I'm gonna kill it No way, no way, no way you're gonna stop me Okay, okay, okay Waiting on a revolution that I can follow (I can follow) Yeah Feeding on an open wound kills the pain but I like it, yeah (Yeah I like it) I'm looking for a new solution that I can swallow Living on borrowed time, I'll die tomorrow Who cares if you die? Okay, okay, okay I fuckin' get it Okay, okay, okay I'm gonna kill it No way, no way, no way you're gonna stop me Okay, okay, okay Get out of my face, out of my face with that shit (I'm getting sick of it) It gets you nowhere, your life becomes a hit to a hit (I'm getting sick of it) Get out of my face, out of my face with that shit It's getting deep You're gonna die tomorrow Okay, okay, okay I fuckin' get it Okay, okay, okay I'm gonna kill it No way, no way, no way you're gonna stop me Okay, okay, okay Who cares if you die? (You're gonna die tomorrow) Who cares if you die? (You're gonna die tomorrow) Who cares if you die? Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow

Every fight needs mending, every start has an end Like the sunrise and the sunset, that's just how it is Love on borrowed time will never be yours nor mine I need you like you need me the way we ought to be Oh, it's good to be true If our hopes and dreams come true Wish that I had more Of this borrowed time If only it would last a lifetime This bitterness inside is an empty space I hide It never satisfies living my life in a lie Love on borrowed time will never be yours nor mine I'll just close my eyes, and it will be alright Oh, it's good to be true If our hopes and dreams come true Wish that I had more Of this borrowed time If only it would last a lifetime Now that you've gone away You seem so close, but you're miles and miles away Oh, it's good to be true If our hopes and dreams come true Wish that I had more Of this borrowed time If only it would last Oh, it's good to be true If our hopes and dreams come true Wish that I had more Of this borrowed time If only it would last Oh, it's good to be true If our hopes and dreams come true Wish that I had more Of this borrowed time If only it would last a lifetime

Get in my heart Get in my eyes Open the door Into the light Open your arms Open your eyes Open your heart What will there be left When you're not here to carry me home What will there be left When you're not here to steady my shaking bones What would there be left? I'm killing my borrowed time I'm killing my borrowed time I'm killing my borrowed time What will there be left When the tide rolls in and swallows you whole What will there be left When the light within Hey, I'll cut your throat How little your money's worth Like a bird into a jet plane I'm bringing you back to earth Killing my borrowed time I'm killing my borrowed time It's been a long time coming Don't look so surprised It's the death of all loving Let's go out on a high I'm killing my borrowed time, yes

You danced into my heart Like sunshine on the water You made my world a better place to be And where ever I may go On this crazy road called life I'll always keep a piece of you with me Beautiful Beautiful Angels before wings Who touched my soul And forever will Make my dreams more beautiful It wasn't always perfect But my love was, was always true And what we made will echo through the years And the hope of edens comfort Fills my each tomorrow Somehow I found a rainbow in my tears Beautiful Beautiful Angels before wings Who touched my soul And forever will Make my dreams more beautiful Yes who touched my soul And forever will Make my dreams more beautiful La, la, la, hmm Make my dreams more beautiful

You never close your eyes anymore When I kiss your lips And there's no tenderness Like before in your finger tips You've trying hard not to show it Baby, baby I know it You've lost that loving feeling Whoho that loving feeling You've lost that loving feeling Now it's gone, gone, gone Now there's no welcome look in your eyes When I reach for you And your're starting to critisize Little things I do It makes just feel like crying Baby cause baby something beautifull is dying You've lost that loving feeling Whoho that loving feeling You've lost that loving feeling Now it's gone, gone, gone Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you The sued went to tide If you would only would love me like you used to do We had a love, a love A love you don't find everyday So don't, don't, don't let it slip away Listen to me, talking to me Bring back that loving feeling Woho That loving feeling Bring back that loving feeling Now it's gone, gone, gone And I can't go on

Well, my room has got two windows But the sun don't ever shine through And I've been so sad and lonely Since I broke off, baby, with you I live on a lonely avenue Since you said that we were through I feel so sad and lonely And it's all because of you I could cry or I could die I live on a lonely avenue Yes I do, lonely avenue Well, my pillow is made of lead And my cover is made of stone And I toss and turn every night I'm not used to being alone I live on a lonely avenue Since you said that we were through And I feel so sad and lonely And it's all because of you, baby I could cry, yeah, I could die I live on a lonely avenue Don't you know children it's a lonely avenue Play your guitar Oh children, this is a lonely avenue Well, my pillow is made of lead And my cover is made of stone But I toss and turn every night I'm not used to being alone I live on a lonely avenue Since you said that we were through And I feel so sad and lonely And it's all because of you I could cry or I could die Oh, I live on a lonely avenue Lord, ain't this a lonely avenue Well, well, it's a lonely avenue, tell him now I live on a lonely avenue
