See him wasted on the sidewalk in His jacket and his jeans Wearing yesterday's misfortunes Like a smile Once he had a future full of Money, love and dreams Which he spent like they Was going out of style And he keeps right on a changing For the better or the worse And searching for a shrine He's never found Never knowing if believing Is a blessing or a curse Or if the going up is worth to coming down He's a poet he's a picker He's a prophet he's a pusher He's a pilgrim and a preacher And a problem when he's stoned He's a walking contradiction partly Truth and partly fiction Taking every wrong direction on his Lonely way back home He has tasted good and evil In your bedrooms and your bars And he's traded in tomorrow for today Running from his devils Lord And reaching for the stars And losing all he loved along the way But if this world keeps right On turning for the better or the worse And all he ever gets is older and around From the rocking of the Cradle to the rolling of the hearse The going up was worth the coming down He's a poet he's a picker He's a prophet He's a pusher He's a poet he's a picker He's a prophet he's a pusher He's a pilgrim and a preacher And a problem when he's stoned He's a walking contradiction partly Truth and partly fiction Taking every wrong direction on his Lonely way back home

Wish I was blind So I wouldn't have to see The sunlight over you shines The way she stall to set you free You never know 'til it's over How the feeling will show Your heart's a frozen fire And my tears too, didn't show So baby, I know, you know I'm the one for you Baby, I know, you know 'Cause I can see you through Baby, I know, you know I'm the one for you Baby, can you still love me too? Wish I could go on Wish you love and wish you peace But baby, since you've gone The memories are still bittersweet If love's the war, then I'm the soldier That dreams to come back home Your heart's a frozen fire And my tears too, didn't show Baby, I know you know I'm the one for you Baby, I know, you know 'Cause I can see you through Baby, I know, you know I'm the one for you, baby Can you still love me too? Can you feel the sky is crying When I fall on the kitchen floor Can you see the lights are faded When I'm waiting for your call Can you hear me calling and Knocking at your door? Can you say that you still love me Just a little more? Just a little more? 'Cause baby, I know, you know I'm the one for you Baby, I know, you know 'Cause I can see you through Baby, I know, you know I'm the one for you Baby, can you still love me too?
