Tales of a Feeble Dreamer...

In the passionless morning I awoke with a thought
Is God patient with me, or have I been patient with God?
Cause my heart's been breaking, and I still feel lost

A wise man told me I'll always be alone
And no matter how I fought his words resound
And I wonder if he's been right all along

I don't know how to love my wife
I lie awake afraid every night
That I'll break her heart and never know how

How can something so beautiful
Be laid in dirty hands like mine
She's fragile and I'm rough on every side

And when the thoughts come creeping in
I'm helpless and I'm alone again
I just have one question, where the hell have you been

Cause I felt your love surround my youth
And you enraptured me and I enraptured you
But now your voice doesn't call to me

No matter where I point my ear
I listen and I try to hear
You spirit's voice, all I hear is the wind

I scream your name in an empty space
Thinking you will hear my pleas
But your name reverberates right back to me

So when the thoughts come creeping in
I'm helpless and I'm alone again
I just have one question, where the hell have you been

I remember the words you used to say
In my heart was where you stayed
But you've left me like I was a long lost hope

And so my heart still hears the echo's of
The callings of my long lost love
Like a lover singing songs from long ago

I'm a lover singing songs from long ago

Devil said he'd come and take my soul
If I ever lose all control
And break your heart in my hands
Someday

So when we're both old and losing sight
Remember this my darling when I hold you tight
Everything just fades when I see
You smile

Devil said he'd come and take my life
If I ever put out your light
And if I ever stray, you always stayed
By my side

So here's to all the lights that you've shined
Into this darkened heart, this heart of mine
And loneliness is sad cause he's leaving me
Alone

Devil said he'd come and take my heart
If I let these things fall apart
And if you ever leave I don't know
What I'd do

I went down to the river
I went down to the river
I went down to the river
The river of the lord

I felt my sins
I felt my sins
I felt my sins
All washed away

He took my shame
He took my shame
He took my shame
Took my shame away

I won't thirst no more
I won't thirst no more
I won't thirst no more
With the water of the Lord

Free at last
Free at last
Thank you God almighty
I am free at last

With eyes wide shut I slip the covers off
When my feet hit the floor, the dreams stop
And I'm left with in a dreary home
I've been dreamin, I've been dreamin of you

Life's a bore, this I confess
I wander aimlessly the tenements
I know this ain't my home
Baby I've got dreams, I've been dreamin of you

You said you'd never let me go
But now it seems like you've given up hope
Baby, you gotta know
Baby, I've been dreamin, dreamin of you

Where did you go
Through all the religions you'd never know
Wait, where have you been
Through all the static you're disappearing

My heart's a dove tied to a string
It flutters with restless wings
Trapped in a place I'll never know
Baby, I've got dreams, and they've got you

One day baby, we'll find the place
All the letters written will find a state
The tangled strings we've been trapped in
Will all go away
It can all go away
And if it don't go away
We will someday.

I've got a woman
My baby's a thief
I've got a woman
My baby's a thief
You took my heart baby
Go on, give it back to me

I've got a woman
She's a ball of fire
I've got a woman
She's a ball of fire
You're so hot baby
I'm starting to perspire

I've got a woman
She's as cold as stone
I've got a woman
She's as cold as stone
I can't stay here baby
Sure as hell can't go home

I've got a woman
She's all I need
I've got a woman
She's all I need
You got me baby
Got me down on my knees

I've got a woman
And she got me
I've got a woman
And she got me
Ain't nothin without you baby
Aw baby, can't you see

Restless eyes, wandering mind
I've lost the ones I love into the night
Running wild or running scared
I lost my soul to the slipping time

Questions come and questions go
Answers never bothered to show
How we live the lives we give
A child dies but I don't really know

The only thing, left in this world, is hope

Waiting for a break to come
A hand to help me up, just anyone
I wanted more than to just survive
But it's all I do when everything's undone

Search the dirt and find your home
Forever finds the silent and alone
Devolve to stars and no one cares
A mother cries and I don't really know

The only thing, left in this world, is hope

They told me life's a westbound train
Down 66 we'll find our resting place
But I'm not satisfied with that
Our roads have never quite been just the same

I don't have words for illiterate souls
It cannot speak but it's taking all control
It leads me in the life I lead
My heart breaks tonight and I don't really know

The road was an endless river
And the current pulled me further
I was farther and farther from you

The windows down, I shut my eyes to drift
Arms outstretched, I tried to forget
The calling from inside

The cigarette sparks were fireflies
They escaped into the fading light
Taking my thoughts with them

I stifled the soul
I swore to let it go
My spirit's a drifter
Looking for a home
I thought was in you

My heart became a dove with wings
Sent from a weary ship yearning
For a glimpse of the Elysian Fields

Never to grace the passionate id
You left this transient adrift
For the ecstasies of heaven content

I thought this whole time it was you
I fell for an evasive truth
In your heart I was predisposed
But little did I know...
