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 ice field
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 Levis 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 knowż"
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 tankful 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 but you could cry
And I never knew just how high I was flying
Ah, with you right above me
And now the chilly California wind
Is blowing down our bodies again
And we´re sinking deeperand deeper in the chilly California sand
Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart
And can´t you see my faded Levis 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 knowż"
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 tankful of time
Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day
And take me to another land whre 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
For taking in the rain when I´m feeling so dry
For giving me the answers when I´m asking you why
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
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
For that I serve you
For pulling me away when I´m starting to fall
For wrapping 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 praying for my future in the days that remain
Oh Lord
For that I hold you
Ah, but most of all
For crying out loud
For that I love you
Ah, but most of all
For crying out loud
For that I love you
Ah, but most of all
For crying out loud
For that I love you
When you´re crying out loud
You know I love you
