I see you standing here But you're so far away Starving for your attention You don't even know my name You're going through so much But I know that I could be the one to hold you Every single day I find it hard to say I could be yours alone You will see someday That all along the way I was yours to hold, I was yours to hold I see you walking by Your hair always hiding your face I wonder why you've been hurting I wish I had some way to say You're going through so much Don't you know that I could be the one to hold you Every single day I find it hard to say I could be yours alone You will see someday That all along the way I was yours to hold, I was yours to hold I'm stretching, but you're just out of reach You should know I'm ready when you're ready for me And I'm waiting for the right time For the day I catch your eye To let you know That I'm yours to hold Every single day I find it hard to say I could be yours alone You will see someday That all along the way I was yours to hold, I was yours to hold Every single day I find it hard to say I could be yours alone You will see someday That all along the way I was yours to hold, I was yours to hold I'm stretching, but you're just out of reach I'm ready when you're ready for me

I met a little girl in Saskatoon She was beaming, bold and beautiful And higher than the moon Before I could profess she left too soon The words she spoke were enough to make me blue She said, I know just what you're wishing Two folks in our condition We'll never leave this bar room with our pride So go about your earthly mission Dont trust no politicians You look to yours and I will look to mine I met a Nashville honkytonkin' queen And the caress of her amber lips Was reserved for Jim Beam Took her by the arm, she made a scene Wiskey was yet to dull her tongue it seemed She said, I know just what you're wishing Two folks in our condition We'll never leave this bar room with our pride So go about your earthly mission Dont trust no politicians You look to yours and I will look to mine Out west, by God, Virginia's where I'm bound She's as wild, she's as wonderful As any girl I've found So keep me just as long as I'm around I never have to hear that awful sound Well I know just what your wishing Two folks in our condition We never leave this bar room with our pride So go about your earthly mission Dont trust no politicians You look to yours and I will look to mine You look to yours and I will look to mine

Ooo ooo ooooo-oo Ooo oh oo It was never black and white Gray spots left colorblind But we jumped with closed eyes Mm, small glimpse of a bright light Still warms the coldest night From deep inside... The core of my bones they hold a secret now And got the gaze to keep the darkness out Wasn't it a great life If only for a moment When you were teaching me to take flight And view something new Wasn't it a great life If only for a moment When I got to share it all with you We could never know if this house could be a home for more Than a day or two There's no happy ever after No silence filled with laughter Only memories From which we grew... Inside of these bones they hold a secret now And got the gaze to keep the darkness out And my bones they hold a secret now And got the gaze to keep the darkness out Wasn't it a great life If only for a moment When you were teaching me to take flight And view something new Wasn't it a great life If only for a moment When I got to share it all with you It's my happy ever after To have held a dream so elegant in my heart In my heart It's my happy ever after To have held a dream so delicate in my arms In my arms Oh, no Wasn't it a great life If only for a moment When you were teaching me to take flight And view something new Wasn't it a great life If only for a moment When I got to share it all with you No, no, no Wasn't it a great life If only for a moment When you were teaching me to take flight And view something new Wasn't it a great life If only for a moment When I got to share it all with you Share it all with you Share it all with you

We fought our fights in silence But the war's not done No ground was gained But the fear from our past howls in the wind It's a foolish and a dangerous endeavor It's a cut against the grain It is not wise to go against the weather Just to get caught out in the rain And through it all Your words remain Like teardrops in a hurricane The shadows appear and linger behind us From the raging sun No words exchanged as we speak from our hearts And hold back the tears But it's a foolish and a dangerous endeavor It's a cut against the grain It is not wise to go against the weather Just to get caught out in the rain And through it all Your words remain Like teardrops in a hurricane Like teardrops in a hurricane Teardrops Teardrops Teardrops in a hurricane Teardrops Teardrops Teardrops in a hurricane Like a plane in the sky or a bird that's up in the trees Just let me be free Let me be free Like a plane in the sky or a bird that's up in the trees Just let me be free Let me be free Let me be free Let me be free Let me be free Let me be free
