You can have Charleston My home, my heart Where I was born and raised Where one day they're gonna take my body And lay it in a grave But it's got to be this way It's gonna break my heart to say, goodbye But it'll kill me if I stay The cobblestone streets

I ain't missing you Since you've been gone, away Down this long distance line tonight Everytime I think of you I always catch my breath And I'm still standing here and your miles away And I'm wondering why you left And there's a storm that's raging

How did you think I would feel How could you do this to me Won't let you hurt me again now I'm nothing to you, I can see Just walk away from me I'm torn up but I can't believe You sat and watched me bleed I am the waiting one it seems What should I do

Oh, my life Is changing every day In every possible way And oh, my dreams It's never quite as it seems Impossible to ignore Impossible not to do Never quite as it seems I know I've felt like this before

Runaway runaway runaway from the beast Got a bullet in your back and you're shaking at the knees On the other side of town lives a sabertooth tiger Got a bullet in your back, runaway from the beast His mouth is full of sand and he's dying to meet you His

Thank you for your smile You make it all worthwhile to us I'm singing this song for you and your mum that's all Little James, we're all the same They always seem to look to us But we weren't meant to be grown ups You live for your toys, even though they

Thoughts arrive like butterflies Someday yet he'll begin his life again Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away Oh whispering hands, gently lead him away Him away, him away Freezin' rests his head on a pillow made of concrete again ooh yeah Oh feelin'

Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing The songs that you and I won't sing Let's not look the other way Taking a chance Cause if the bugler starts to play In the grip of this cold December You and I have reason to remember The songs that you and I

I try my best to behave And I can't help feelin' this way And is it some kind of fiction? Or the sweetest addiction? So what if I'm crazy 'Cause love makes me do it It's not my fault so don't blame me 'Cause love makes me I tear the shrink wrap off
