I waited 'til I saw the sun I don't know why I didn't come I left you by the house of fun I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come When I saw the break of day I wished that I could fly away Instead of kneeling in the sand Catching tear-drops in my hand My heart is drenched in wine But you'll be on my mind forever Out across the endless sea I would die in ecstasy But I'll be a bag of bones Driving down the road alone My heart is drenched in wine But you'll be on my mind forever Something has to make you run I don't know why I didn't come I feel as empty as a drum I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come

There's a room in a hotel in New York City That shares our fate and deserves our pity I don't want to remember it all The promises I made if you just hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on I just need enough of you to dull the pain Just to get me through the night 'til we're twins again 'Til we're stripped down to our skeletons again 'Til we're saints just swimming in our sins again And there's a jet black crow droning on and on and on Up above our heads droning on and on and on Keep making trouble 'til you find what you love I need a new partner in crime and you, you shrug That there's a room in a hotel in New York City That shares our fate and deserves our pity I don't want to remember it all The promises I made if you just hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on A birth and a death on the same day And honey, I only appeared so I can fade away I wanna throw my hands in the air and scream And I could just die laughing on your spiral of shame And there's a jet black crow droning on and on and on Up above our heads droning on and on and on Hit it, never quit it, I have been through the wreck But I can string enough to show my face in the light of day There's a room in a hotel in New York City That shares our fate and deserves our pity I don't want to remember it all The promises I made if you just hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Heaven and the earth will pass away But your words all remain And my hands are growing old And weary with pain Still I fold them to pray To the one unchanged Yesterday and today Oh YHWH I will try to stay awake Take my last breath of faith As I wait for you to come Take me beyond This land undone Over the flood By your word, spirit, and blood It was prophesied long ago Every word set in stone Not one will pass away Or walk alone All that I own Does not compare To the love that we share Please remember me When the hour arrives And you must decide If you'll wait for me to come Take you beyond This land undone Over the flood By my word, spirit, and blood End
