I can't control this flesh and blood That's wrapped around my bones It moves beneath me like a river Into the great unknown
I stepped onto the moving stairs Before I could tie my shoes Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade Who lived and died the blues
And his promise made was never clear It just carved itself in me All I saw was frost inside my head On the night he said to me
Someday we'll live like horses Free rein from your old iron fences There's more ways than one to regain your senses Break out the stalls and we'll live like horses
We're the victims of the heartbreak That kept us short of breath Trapped above these bloodless streets Without a safety net
I stood in line to join the trial One more customer of fate Claimed a spoke in the wheel of the wagon train On the road to the golden gate
On the flat cracked desert I jumped ship It just made sense to me I've spent too long in the belly of the beast And now I shall be free
Pull my coat around me Feel the cold wind haunt me Streets are empty just like me The murmur of an echo Seems to come from every window Is loneliness the same as being free
I guess I must have been dreaming To think that I believed in you at all Now I just can't fight it As the shadow of the night begins to fall
Love's got a lot to answer for Oh I just can't sleep with this feeling anymore Let the cold night air cool the heat Of two hearts gone to war For no matter who wins, in the end Love's got a lot to answer for
All I need is darkness The best of all protection Freedom's like the stars in the sky Alone and cold and burning Each one keeps it's distance If only we were stars, you and I
