It was not two days. a night and a day I look back at the man I was before A sorry stranger banged up on the shore Your warm arms tore the walls down. The devil with the damned things anyway They were of no use, just a frame From there he would watch,

And my heart breaks again Just one more time One more moment To take you in my arms One more chance One more kiss Before I wake to find you gone One more time Before I have to face another bad day,

Before they take it all away Trying to see if the world is still alive What are you waiting for, I'm here Let the day go by Let's consume it all I hear them from the other side As I sit and let the day go by I hear them from the other side (other side)

Now you're here and everything's changing Suddenly life means so much I can't wait to wake up tomorrow And find out this promise is true I will never have to go back to The day before you I had all but given up On finding the one that I could fall into

When love was still around One day before it all came crashing down And I can hear the sirens still calling your name And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames It's easy to think twice A choice can change your life And I can see the flashing lights

Were we better men than we'd ever been before? Say, if she came again today, would you still answer to the call? Tell the truth, my friend, don't it matter anymore? Was it bitter then with our backs against the wall? We were simple men by her side when

I'm going back to my roots Another day, another door Another high, another low Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom I know it's gotta go like this, I know Hell will always come before you grow Trouble found me, trouble found me Don't throw stones at me

Soon you'll not remember anything Because father it's always today But then someday neither will I Tomorrow though is nothing to fear Life won't flash before your eyes Instead we'll fall away then melt like snow The secret storms of your wild youth Now

Skylarking, skylarking That's what youth do today Before they stand up firm on their feet Get a likkle work, a likkle work And earn their bread honestly Beggin' you a five cent, sir Beggin' you a ten cent, sir Cannot help, no, cannot help So if you all

Just as it was, baby Before the otherness came And I knew its name But your love was unmoved There is a roadway, muddy and foxgloved Never I'd had life enough My heart is screaming out And in a few days I would be there, love Ever here that's lived in me
