There’s a storm on the ocean
A storm deep in me
Life keeps on changing
Like waves on the sea.
Through distant thunder
Sirens call out to me
Voiceless reminders Of my lonely destiny
I tried so hard to make you the only one
But it’s no use pretending – it’s time to be movin’ on
I’m a faithless man; that’s what I am
I’m a faithless man; my heart has a mind of it’s own
I’m a faithless man; that’s what I am
Always been in love – but not for very long.
I know I should love you
Like you’re the only one.
And when I’m here
That’s so easily done.
But when I’m on the road
The stage is my home
Catch her eye, my heart lies and fidelity’s gone.
Weakness within me, or strength to be on my own
Doesn’t really matter, either way it’s wrong.
Let me in You can send me away
What we had – you’ll want it someday.
You know you’ll always want it.
You know all it takes is –
You know the time’s upon us
That’s what you’re gonna see
Your will is gettin’ tougher
So fight’s hard to see
The water’s all around us
Please stop drowning me.
All I want is your love –
All I want is your love
Slivers of auburn light
Turning into night.
Someone’s calling my name,
But I try to refrain from answering –
I need some time to myself.
It’s nice to be here with nobody else.
I watch the time go by –
Got no alibi.
Simple thoughts leave me
All alone with my fantasy.
And I’m all alone this time.
I’m all alone, feelin’ fine.
Don’t wanna talk no more
About anything to anyone.
I wanna talk to myself, to myself.
Don’t wanna talk no more
About anything to anyone,
I wanna talk to myself, to myself.
Watching the world go round,
Hoping I will stay in bounds.
Catching a glimpse of the sun,
Everybody’s on the run.
And I wish I knew the rules,
Then I’d understand.
Keep on workin’ like a fool,
Tryin’ to make my stand.
The news today was bleak,
There’s nothin’ under our feet.
The grass is bluer today,
So, I’m gonna stay away
And I wish I knew the rules,
Then I’d understand.
Will I find all the clues
Playin’ in my band.
And I wish I
knew the rules,
Then I’d understand.
Keep on workin’ like a fool,
Tryin’ to make my stand.
Listen to all those lies –
The promise of paradise.
There’s a stranger in me
To make my soul agree.
When you close your eyes
Where are you?
Are you driftin’ back to a place and time
Up in Penny’s room
When you closed your eyes
And I held you for the first time – I lost my mind
I think you lost yours, too.
And I’m thinkin’ ’bout the way I wanted it to last
But, forever could have never been long enough.
Now I close my eyes
And I see you Ah, your long blond hair was flowin’
There was nothin’ I could do
So I fell in love You know it’s true
I fell helplessly under your spell
And you fell for me, too.
Now we never could deny –
That feelin’ was too strong
And we didn’t care to end it
When we left we were not gone.
And I want to be with you, and I want to see you
In my life now and forever we should always be together
I want to be with you, and I want to see you
I’ve had no better time since then, and this feelin’ never ends
Open your eyes
Do you see –
Ah, the man who loves you so uncontrollably?
It’s no surprise
It’s meant to be
We’re together now forever
Beyond eternity.
And I’m thinkin’ ’bout the way
I’ve wanted it to last
But, forever could have never
been long enough for that.
