LONELY
AS LONELY AS I CAN BE
SLOWLY
AS SLOW AS TIME CAN BE
I STARED INTO THE SEA
I STARED OUT TO THE WAVES
SLOWLY AS SLOW AS WAVES CAN BE
WHEN WILL YOU COME TO ME
WHEN WILL YOU COME TO ME
WHERE THE SUMMER BURNS BLUE AND GREEN
HERE ON THIS BURNING SAND
I LISTENED TO THIS HUNGRY SEA
IT'S FALLING ON THE LEVEL SHORES
AND THE WIND BLOWS THROUGH THE TREES
AND I THINK OF YOU
AND I THINK OF THE DAYS
IF ONLY I COULD SEE YOUR FACE
THE PRICE OF A HOLIDAY
HOPE THE WIND WILL CARRY ME AWAY
HOPE THE WIND WILL CARRY ME AWAY
LISTEN, LISTEN
LISTEN TO THE SIREN
HEAR YOUR VOICE
YOUR VOICE CRIED BY THE RIVER
SLOWLY, SLOWLY
IT FLOWS TO THE SEA
WHEN WILL YOU COME TO ME
WHEN WILL YOU COME TO MEWe are swimming with the snakes at the bottom of the well
So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell
But we are not snakes and what's more we never will be
And if we stay swimming here forever we will never be free
I heard them ringing the bells in heaven and hell
They got a secret they're getting ready to tell
It's falling from the skies
It's calling from the graves
Open your eyes boy, I think we are saved
Open your eyes boy, I think we are saved
Let's take a walk on the bridge right over this mess
Don't need to tell me a thing baby, we already confessed
And I raised my voice to the air
And we were blessed
It's hard to give
It's hard to get
But everybody needs a little forgiveness
We are calling for help tonight on a thin phone line
As usual we're having ourselves one hell of a time
And the planes keep flying over our heads
No matter how loud we shout
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
And we keep wavin and wavin our arms in the air but we're all tired out
I heard somebody say today's the day
Big old hurricane she's blowing our way
Knockin over the buildings
Killing all the lights
Open your eyes boy, we made it through the night
Open your eyes boy, we made it though the night
Let's take a walk on the bridge right over this mess
Don't need to tell me a thing baby, we already confessed
And I raise my voice to the air
And we were blessed
It's hard to give
It's hard to get
It's hard to give
But still I think it's the best bet
Hard to give
Never gonna forget
But everybody needs a little forgiveness
Everybody needs a little forgiveness
