Jim Steinman For Crying Out Loud
I was lost till you were found But I never knew how far down I was falling Before I reached the bottom I was cold and you were fire And I never knew how the pyre Could be burning On the edge of the icefield And now the chilly California wind Is blowing down our bodies again And we´re sinking deeper and deeper in the chilly California sand Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart And can´t you see my faded Levi´s Bursting apart And don´t you hear me crying: "Oh Babe, don´t go" And don´t you hear me screaming: "How was I to know?" I´m in the middle of nowhere Near the end of the line But there´s a border to somewhere waiting And there´s a tank full of time Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day And take me to another land where I don´t have to stay And I´m gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes, Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through For crying out loud You know I love you For crying out loud You know I love you For crying out loud You know I love you I was damned and you were saved And I never knew how enslaved I was kneeling In the chains of my master I could laugh oh but you could cry And I never knew just how high I was flying Oh, with you right above me And now the chilly California wind Oh is blowing down our bodies again And we´re sinking deeper and deeper in the chilly California sand Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart And can´t you see my faded Levi´s Bursting apart And don´t you hear me crying: "Oh Babe, don´t go" And don´t you hear me screaming: "Oh how was I to know?" I´m in the middle of nowhere Near the end of the line But there´s a border to somewhere waiting And there´s a tank full of time Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day And take me to another land where I don´t have to stay And I´m gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes, Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through For crying out loud You know I love you Oh or crying out loud You know I love you Oh for crying out loud You know I love you Ohhh for crying out loud You know I love you For taking in the rain when I´m feeling so dry For giving me the answers when I´m asking you why And my oh my For that I thank you For taking in the sun when I´m feeling so cold For giving me a child when my body is old And don´t you know For that I need you For coming to my room when you know I´m alone For finding me a highway and for driving me home And you gotta knowFor that I serve you For pulling me away when I´m starting to fall For revving me up when I´m starting to stall And all in all For that I want you For taking and for giving and for playing the game For prying for my future in the days that remain Ohh LordFor that I hold you Ah but most of all For crying out loudFor that I love you Ah but most of all For crying out loudFor that I love you When you´re crying out loud You know I love you
