And now I recognize your face and my folly For longer days and nights this strange redemption' With words you've bled me dry Now dust falls from these wounds Into the airless night I'm cast Hear me call you I know I can't create a lie you won't see

There is a train that's heading straight To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate And woman wait, watch and wait For redemption day I've wept for those who suffer long But how I weep for those who've gone Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong But keep on

When we were outlaws Outlaws, when we were forever young We're outlaws of redemption, baby We destroyed suburbia I'll plead my innocence Life after youth Faded in twilight The dawn of a criminal in bloom
