| Looking out my window an angel in robe appeared and nearly pulled me apart
|
| A million miles of freedom
|
| A million miles of road
|
| But I still don’t know where to start
|
| She wrote her number down
|
| She gave it to me
|
| They had to scrape me off the floor
|
| In this transient town
|
| Waiters and dealers trying to get their foot in the door
|
| That night I called her, she said
|
| Daddy, daddy, daddy, all my life
|
| I’ve been trying to find my place in the world
|
| (I said to her)
|
| Baby, baby, babe I got all night
|
| To listen to the heart of a girl
|
| I can see the time dripping down the clock
|
| We’ve been trying to hear that ancient refrain
|
| It’s the one that knows us when our heads are down
|
| It reminds us of the place from where we came
|
| Where we came
|
| Daddy, daddy, daddy, all my life
|
| I’ve been trying to find my place in the world
|
| (I said to her)
|
| Baby, baby, babe I got all night
|
| To listen to the heart of a girl
|
| What happened here? |
| What is this world?
|
| It’s too far from the heart of a girl
|
| A ripple in the water from the drop of a pearl
|
| I’m on the shore waiting for the heart of a girl
|
| Many doors
|
| Knock on one
|
| Standing still, time is raging
|
| Staring down the mouth of 100,000 guns
|
| You’re still here, you’re still here
|
| I believe that we never have to be alone
|
| Yes I believe it’s just around the bend
|
| You can hold it in, or you can scream it on the microphone
|
| There is no end
|
| There is no end
|
| Deep in the night, I feel a presence
|
| Of something that was long ago, told to me
|
| There is a hand guiding the river
|
| The river to wide open sea
|
| And deep in my heart, in any game
|
| On any mountain, no I’m not afraid
|
| Standing on stone, you stand beside me
|
| And honor the plans that were made |
