Tiny drops, streaming down,
So sad to see.
Broken hearts, Broken dreams,
Too bad for me.
All I ever wanted was the best for you,
But I was too wrong to be.

I've caught hell,
Caught up in those games,
Caught up in my fear.
I've laid it down,
All my life,
Until I caught a tear.

I reached out, grabbed your face,
Pulled it up to see.
Welling up in your eyes,
You hurt because of me.
All I ever wanted was to be the man,
But I was too wrong to be.

I've caught hell,
Caught up in those games,
Caught up in my fear.
I've laid it down,
All my life,
Until I caught a tear.

I will bring it back,
The light in your eyes.
I will be the one,
That makes your spirit fly.

I've caught hell,
Caught up in those games,
Caught up in my fear.
I've laid it down,
All my life,
Until I caught a tear.
Reaching out,
To catch the blame,
I'm sorry my dear.
I never thought,
It`d cause this pain,
Until I caught a tear.
Until I caught a tear.

If a little rain must fall in every life,
Could ours stand the downpour?
If at the end there was no rainbow,
Would you wanna take it all back?
Would you... Could you...

If there were no stars in the heavens.
If there were no waves left at sea.
Would you let us take the blame?
Would you blame it all on me?
If there was no way to find you,
Even if I could not see.
Could you let us take the blame?
Could you blame it all on me?

If ever there is never an us,
Could you go on without me?
If it all came to an ending,
Would it be so hard to believe?
I love you... I need you...

If there were no stars in the heavens.
If there were no waves left at sea.
Would you let us take the blame?
Would you blame it all on me?
If there was no way to find you,
Even if I could not see.
Could you let us take the blame?
Could you blame it all on me?

And still the sun shines on you.
Still the birds fly free.
There is nothing without you.
And that`s what it takes to be...

If there were no stars in the heavens.
If there were no waves left at sea.
Would you let us take the blame?
Would you blame it all on me?
If there was no way to find you,
Even if I could not see.
Could you let us take the blame?
Could you blame it all on me?

Never you.
Never me.
Somewhere in our dreams.
No more tears.
No more glee.
Only haunting themes.
Jagged shards,
Of my heart,
Poke me and I bleed.
Terrified,
Undignified,
Heartfelt and in need.

I scream in my mind...
Trapped inside,
Breaking out,
It gets harder to contain.

I scream in my mind...
To confide,
To let it out,
It gets harder to refrain.

Love lied to me.
It lied to you.
It pushed us to our knees.
Love lied,
To our face,
Behind our backs,
We`re just casualties.
Love lied, you see?

Open arms,
Open minds,
Success is the strain.
Tear it apart,
Tear it up fine,
Diagnose the ugly stain.
Burning coals,
Of my soul,
Feed the fire within.
Never know,
Intense glow,
Feeds the fire of sin.

I scream in my mind...
Trapped inside,
Breaking out,
It gets harder to contain.

I scream in my mind...
To confide,
To let it out,
It gets harder to refrain.

Love lied to me.
It lied to you.
It pushed us to our knees.
Love lied,
To our face,
Behind our backs,
We`re just casualties.
Love lied, you see?

In my dreams.
Keep you in my dreams.
In my dreams.
Keep you in my dreams.

Last night I laid down,
I saw visions of you.
Before I closed my eyes,
Your sight, your smell,
I knew it was you.
There you were standing,
A vision to behold.
Tears ran down my face,
I cried, you cried,
Scenes started to fold.

In my dreams.
Keep you in my dreams.
In my dreams.
Keep you in my dreams.

I woke up knowing,
That never were you real.
My heart sunk in my chest,
I tried, you lied,
How was I to feel?
I knew I must go on,
Can`t live in fantasy.
I knew I would miss you,
Your taste, your touch,
Would shape reality.

In my dreams...I feel I know you.

Your face, your touch,
I must, keep you in my dreams.
Your smile, too much,
But I need you, in my dreams.

In the darkest corners of my heart,
I need you, to be real.
I can`t forever live in the dark,
If it`s me that you really feel.
Surely, if you can feel me,
Then I must exist.
Even if you can`t see,
Look at how you try to resist.

In my dreams.---------Your face, your touch,
Keep you in my dreams-I must keep you in my dreams
In my dreams.---------Your smile, too much,
Keep you in my dreams-But I need you in my dreams.

Angel has been burned.
Falling with smoking wings.
Earthbound she is spurned.
On and on till it stings.

Heaven forgets her face.
As she crashes into ground.
With outstretched arms knowing,
She'll never be found.

And yet,
No one cries for her.
No one sees her pain.
No one comes,
To pull her out,
No one extinguishes the flame.
No one hears her pleas.
Nothing to sustain.
No one stops the screaming,
Of an angels shame.

Burning feathers catch the breeze,
Like fireflies from hell.
Littered across the spot,
Where an angel once fell.

The earth's flesh split,
To receive the unearthly gift.
Pulled deep into her bosom,
In absence of heavenly lift.

And yet,
No one cries for her.
Only I see her pain.
No one comes,
To pull her out,
No one extinguishes the flame.
No one hears her pleas.
No one to sustain.
Nothing stops the screaming,
Of an angels shame.

A chorus of angels,
Sang her praises,
Ever so soft and sweet.
Rising in crescendo,
Speeding up tempo,
Inspiration and joy did meet.
Of all the things I long for,
You have to be mine for keeps.
No halfway, no middle ground,
You`re in too far, way too deep.

Heaven`s serenade,
Drowning out the thunder,
Of Hell`s parade,
Through my heart.
Locked in my mind,
Only thoughts of you,
In holy time,
To the voices inside me.

Angelic voices sing,
Can`t you hear them,
Is it all in my head?
Infinite part harmony,
Totally inundating me,
Lifting me from my dread.
Blessed in the bask of her gaze,
When finally she looks upon me.
I fear she makes up new plays,
To tear my heart from inside me.

Heaven`s serenade,
Drowning out the thunder,
Of Hell`s parade,
Through my heart.
Locked in my mind,
Only thoughts of you,
In holy time,
To the voices inside me.

In the hour of my darkest need,
I can call your name.
And you`d appear on a fiery steed,
To steal away my pain.
But now you`re not here,
And you can`t be found.
Under waves of fear,
I`ll surely drown.

Throw me a line,
Pull me out my love.
I`m reaching for heaven,
Not the air above.
Your touch is my savior.
For your love I long.
Your innocence to savor.
Your will so strong.
Throw me a line,
Pull me out my love.
I`m reaching salvation,
In the waves below.

There`s no concious need for reason,
In the paths you choose.
Fly away on wings of the season,
My piece of mind is yours.
So can you hear it now,
The crashing of the waves?
On the restless bow,
Of my ship, the sea craves.

Throw me a line,
Pull me out my love.
I`m reaching for heaven,
Not the air above.
Your touch is my savior.
For your love I long.
Your innocence to savor.
Your will so strong.
Throw me a line,
Pull me out my love.
I`m reaching salvation,
In the waves below.

In the hour of my darkest want,
I can feel your love.
Behind your freshest front,
From the depths below.
So now I need you most,
Tell me where are you?
I`ve searched from coast to coast,
Beyond the oceans blue.

Throw me a line,
Pull me out my love.
I`m reaching for heaven,
Not the air above.
Your touch is my savior.
For your love I long.
Your innocence to savor.
Your will so strong.
Throw me a line,
Pull me out my love.
I`m reaching salvation,
In the waves below.

He came riding in,
With the setting sun.
Out of breath,
He was on the run.
Tall and handsome,
His features built.
Pressed with fear,
He was loaded to the hilt.
Come again, play some more.
He`s quick to tell you what`s in store.
Live hard, die fast, a gunmans creed.
Death`s in his eyes, his voice you heed.

Madman Jack,
His story I tell.
Three steps from living,
One foot in hell.
No turning back,
The deed is done.
Madman Jack,
He was on the run.

The bullet in his side,
Didn`t tell the tale.
Riding through the streets,
From the gates of hell.
Defending the honor,
Of a maiden so fair.
The ice of her eyes,
The gold of her hair.
Come again, play some more.
He came in heeled to do the chore.
Live hard, die fast, a gunmans creed.
No time to lose, no time to bleed.

Madman Jack,
His story I tell.
Three steps from living,
One foot in hell.
No turning back,
The deed is done.
Madman Jack,
He was on the run.

Drinking in a bar,
Down in Ft. Cheyenne.
Ace of spades,
Eluding his hand.
Two hands up,
He drew the last card.
Old Lady Luck,
Played real hard.
Come again, play some more.
Lady Luck had set the score.
Live hard, die fast, a gunmans creed.
Her brother Fate, ate the cards that he`d need.

Madman Jack,
His story I tell.
Three steps from living,
One foot in hell.
No turning back,
The deed is done.
Madman Jack,
He was on the run.

He was quick on the draw,
And the first to shoot.
But against three men,
He had nothing to lose.
The first shot rang out,
And found it`s mark.
As that man fell,
It all went dark.
Come again, play some more.
He took it in stride, that`s for sure.
Live hard, die fast, a gunmans creed.
Even outnumbered, Jack died on his feet.

Madman Jack,
His story I tell.
Three steps from living,
One foot in hell.
No turning back,
The deed is done.
Madman Jack,
He was on the run.

Old Lady Luck,
She shed not a tear.
Her brother Fate,
Turned a deaf ear.
A man so proud,
Died that day.
With a smile on his face,
I heard people say.
Come again, play some more.
Death knocked hard, he opened the door.
Live hard, die fast, a gunmans creed.
With the Reapers hand he took the lead.

Madman Jack,
His story I tell.
Three steps from living,
One foot in hell.
No turning back,
The deed is done.
Madman Jack,
He was on the run.

Why am I not enough?
Why must you seek beyond?
It's all in you hands,
And still you break that bond.

When did I fade from you,
Like an apparition in the wind?
When will the final blow,
Make it impossible to mend?

Somewhere in the darkness,
I lie awake and think of you.
Somewhere in the darkness,
I wonder why we're here.
Bleeding inside,
Someplace to hide,
Somewhere in the darkness.

Why do you cry to me?
What more do you need?
I give it all to you,
I cut myself and bleed.

When did it all come apart,
And turn into my own hell?
When will you want me?
When will you not rebel?

Somewhere in the darkness,
I lie awake and think of you.
Somewhere in the darkness,
I wonder what is true.
Bleeding inside,
Someplace to hide,
Somewhere in the darkness.
