Once again I'll call your name You'll hear but not answer Foolish heart quakes with pain, mocking embrace I push away longing, aching my company, Wither decay, this empty inheritance Looking glass shattered eyes, bleeding so softly Selfishness hollow

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

So if anybody thinks I'm a hero When they watch me walk right into the flames I'm just marching to the sound of her heartbeat Yeah, I'm a solider but if I'm a solider She's an army, an army, an army On the front line she's a statue, a safe place to run

And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears. Get over your hill and see what you find there, With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair. And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears. And after the storm, I run and run

And maybe I'll get lucky tonight Find me a girl, take my heartache away Sad, sad blues I'll see you another day, wouldn't that be so fine? Maybe I'll get lucky tonight She left about three weeks ago A single man is a new thing But I've been here before

It means nothing to me Every moment is dead to me Play it back, play it back A living heart attack Take my eyes, I cannot see sense Past and future tense Safe and sound, anywhere but here I see it crystal clear, but it means nothing to me The empty

When you were young You sit there in your heartache Waiting on some beautiful boy to To save your from your old ways You play forgiveness Watch it now, here he comes He doesn't look a thing like Jesus But he talks like a gentlemen Like you imagined when

Well I don't care 'cause I won't know anybody there Is there anybody there But my heart keeps giving in So hard to let it go When it's there under my skin Well if I'm judged on the life I've been living And if heaven is not so forgiving I don't care

Oh father, please father I'd love to leave you alone but I can't let you go Put the bottle down for the love of a daughter Please father You have a hollowed out heart but it's heavy in your chest I tried so hard to fight it but it's hopeless You're

While the world sleeps under my feet tonight I'm chasing myself in the sky I'll be up here learning to fly When you know that you can't let go And your heart already knows Sure to hurt but it's worth it to be burned 'Cause one day you'll get home Still
