Baby baby I need you why can’t I leave you alone
Baby baby I need you why can’t I leave you alone
Baby baby I’m leaving you, promise you won’t let me go
Baby baby you need me just the same as I need you
Baby baby you need me just like I need you
Baby baby I’m leaving you, promise you won’t let me go
Baby baby I need you why can’t I leave you alone
Baby baby I need you why can’t I leave you alone
Baby baby I’m leaving you, promise you won’t let me go
Getting back to some place I’ve been before
Give away all the things I can’t afford
Can’t sit or lay down but I can stand
If you want a thief you know I’m your man
Held up and cut down by my hand
Run around I get lost standing still
Concrete, bars and a grave to fill
Lord Jesus help me if you can
I just want to be a better man
Held up and cut down by my hand
Well I broke free on my way home
See the world through the eyes of a newborn
Got a new face but the same man
Got the will to change but I simply can’t
Held up and cut down by my hand
Held up and cut down by my hand
Held up and cut down by my hand
Been lost along this old dirt road
Waiting for the things we’ve been sold
With all the plagues and battles won
With all the men that come undone
My eyes are tired and my hands are numb
We tend the fire and sing this song
And you tell me I’m wrong
Tell me I’m wrong
Tell me I’m wrong
Tell me I’m wrong
Waiting for the sky to turn red
I hope that god has the heart to forgive
With all the hate in everyone
With all us men that come undone
My eyes are tired and my hands are numb
We tend the fire and we sing this song
And you tell me I’m wrong
Satisfy that guilt with all this fear
The glass is full but you can’t tell how clear
Take the time to make pieces fit
“Cause most of us can’t live with it
You hear the voice and you hear this song
Tell me I’m wrong
Tell me I’m wrong
Tell me I’m wrong
Tell me I’m wrong
With all us men that come undone
My eyes are tired and my hands are numb
We tend the fire and we sing this song
And you tell me I’m wrong
I’ve got something new for ya
Sitting on the brink mama
Screaming heads will soon tire
The sun is setting in a fire.
You will surely know
You better pray for what you know
You will surely know cuz
The flames are warm
But I’m not burning
Change is coming in the season
Time is what we’re hope to saving
Screaming heads will soon tire
The sun is setting in a fire
You will surely know
You better pray for what you know
You will surely know cuz
The flames are warm
But I’m not burning
Eyes on me as I walk in the room
Cause everything they say is true
If all is said ain’t no lie
Tell me girl will you be mine?
All I ask is for one drink
When you tie me up don’t make me think
I said all I say ain’t no lie
Tell me girl will you be mine?
Will you be mine?
I’ve been waiting so long can’t sleep
I’ve been waiting bring me to my knees
I’ve been waiting way down by the pine tree
I’ve been waiting so long I can’t sleep
How long will I wait? How long, how long?
By myself I am so alone, so alone
I’ve been waiting so I could see this
All I need now I ask for forgiveness
She’s been running so far from
She’s been running until the ground makes her bleed
She’s been running can’t walk can’t see
She’s been running so far from me
How long will I wait? How long, how long?
By myself I am so alone, so alone
I’ve been waiting so I could see this
All I need now I ask for forgiveness
They say that only time will tell
Waiting never suited me well
All the time, pile it on
What’s another year or two?
Time pass me by
There’s something about idle hands
What makes a man go to hell?
It’s getting warm, throughout the land
I think it’s time to run and hide
Time pass me by
There’s nowhere you can run for help
Take a nap and you’ll feel well
Evil time, pass me by
Help me get out of here
Time pass me by
Feel your lips
And the stillness of night.
Take from me,
What you desire.
And your heart,
I know it’s true.
And in time,
I can take it
I am dying, for your love.
I am dying, for your love,
I need it coming to me,
I need it coming to me.
Know that kiss,
It will make it alright.
Don’t miss me,
I am by your side.
And my heart,
You know it’s true.
And in time,
you can take it.
I am dying, for your love.
I am dying, for your love,
I need it coming to me,
I need it coming to me.
All your love,
I need it coming to me,
I need it coming to me.
All your love,
I need it coming to me,
I need it coming to me.
