Every Broken Heart Will Mend
The widow awake through the night while the staff are asleep
Waiting for pills in a cup to help her get some sleep
The Lord in the heavens looked down on the sons of mankind
To see if there's someone discerning someone seeking to find
Every broken heart will mend, I promise you
Every broken bitter end will be renewed
An aching heart wonders will I live my whole life alone?
Lost in a crowded town out here, each one on their own
The Lord in the heavens looked down on the sons of mankind
To see if there's someone discerning someone seeking to find
Every broken heart will mend, I promise you
Every open bitter end will be renewed
A broken man said in his heart there is no sign of God
Riot and ruin all rule us, there is none who do good
The Lord in the heavens looked down on the sons of mankind
To see if there's someone discerning someone seeking to find
Every broken heart will mend, I promise you
Every broken bitter end will be renewed

I'll Never Walk Away From You
Each time I tell you I love you something goes wrong
Each time I reach out to touch you, you're already gone
I'll never walk away from you, no matter how you try
And when the fighting's finally through, I'll still be by your side
I'll never walk away
Each time I stand by the window, while you draw the blinds
You disappear lost in your old wounds, time out of mind
I'll never walk away from you, no matter how you try to push me away
And when it's finally out of you, I'll still be by your side
I'll never walk away
There's a time for everything, but mine's meant to be spent right by your side
See how much I love you

Where Have You Been?

Where Have You Been
Where have you been?
I have been waiting, why don't you come in?
It's been much too long.
Can you still remember how we carried on?
Where are you now?
I have been thinking of you for a while.
It's been much too long.
Can you still remember how we carried on?
Where have you been?
Have you forgotten the things that we said?
Where did you go?
And why would you think after all you can go?
This is what you left,
This is what you took,
When the lights went down the last time you looked at me.
All that's left of our dances, this is the end of second chances.
Where to begin?
How can I tell you what I wished I'd said?
What did I know?
I guess that it's best just to leave it alone.
What if I'd gone with you to your room when the night led us on?
What if I'd asked for you to stay here, but the moment had passed?
Where have you been?
Have you forgotten the things that we did?
Where did you go?
You know that I looked for you. How would you know?
This is what you left,
This is what you took,
When the lights went down the last time you looked at me.
All that's left of our dances, this is the end of second chances
This is goodnight.
This well wishes to full life well lived.
We'll be all right.
This is a glass raised to all you can give.
This is what you left,
This is what you took,
When the lights went down the last time you looked at me
All that's left of our dances, this is the end of second chances

The Angel
Last night, last night
I drove home past dark parking on the street
As I climbed from my car I dropped my keys on the cobblestone
I think I must have been hurried
Sometimes I hurry in the dark
I crouched for my keys on the curb
I crouched for my keys on the curb
When I looked up, I saw an angel
It is a terrible thing
I can't tell you what a terrible thing it is
It is a terrible thing
The angel's eyes were fire
The angel's eyes were fire
The angel's eyes were fire and turned slowly like the blade of a rotary saw
It's skin was radiant white like glass in a furnace
It's wings blew back and billowed like huge sheets on a clothesline
The angel raised its hands looked down at me
Tears ran down its face and it spoke to me
Tears ran down its face as it said
Wake up Wake up
Tonight may be the night your soul is required of you
I can tell you your knees fail you
I can tell you your knees fail you
I can tell you your knees fail you
Your knees fail you and you kneel gracelessly
I can tell you that I pissed myself
It is a terrible thing to see an angel
Maybe if I hadn't, but I did
With the sudden shock of shame and recognition
I fell before the angel on my knees
Tears ran down its face
Tears ran down its face as it spoke to me
Tears ran down its face as it said
Wake up Wake up
Tonight may be the night your soul is required of you
The angel passed right through me
The angel passed right through me ----Heyey
The angel passed right through me
I was like smoke from a cigarette
And it was more real than me
My eyes went out
My eyes went out
And in a moment I was cold on the sidewalk
I was cold against my car door with my
keys in my hand
cold piss on my legs
my eyes went out
my body shook
my body shook
Tears ran down my face as it said
Wake up Wake up
Tonight may be the night your soul is required of you
It is a mercy that you've never seen an angel
It is a mercy that you've never seen an angel
It is a mercy that you've never seen an angel
Are you ready
Are you ready now
Are you ready
Are you ready now
Are you ready
Are you ready now
Are you ready
Are you ready now
Are you ready
Are you ready now
Are you ready
Are you ready now
