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 (c) 2017 KZB

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 (c) 2107 KZB

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 (C) 2018 KZB

The Angel 07:29
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 (c) 1998 KZB
