I'm gonna take home my love and hide it away
And see if someone discovers it some day
Cause all this time I've thrown my love around
And it's time I started walking on the ground
So I say goodbye to a different life and welcome something new
And I suggest my darling that you try to do that too
Cause the dreams we have fly away
Why can't we just enjoy the day?
Love used to be true
Now memories are all I have of you
Even though my head is spinning around
I can still make out the leaves falling to the ground
So I pick one up and it reminds me of you
Cause it's broken and weathered and looking for someone new
What a thing to do
Cause the dreams we have fly away
Why can't we just enjoy the day?
Love used to be true
Now memories are all I have of you

You need a smooth stone to skip on the water
You need a strong heart to handle your love
You need many hands to make the load lighter
You need faith and mystery sent from above
When you sing me a sweet song and you don't think I'm listening
When you mention my name when I'm not around
Ah you keep me from drowning even when I'm not sinking
You keep my feet walking about an inch of the ground
But love can be a funny game
When you feel your life is changing,
will never be the same
But is this just another Sweet Refrain?
I will keep me hands ready to keep you from falling
I will keep my head ready to answer your call
Just remember in this life
Well it's all about chances
And with loving you darling I'm not afraid to fall
But love can be a funny game
When you feel your life is changing,
will never be the same
But is this just another Sweet Refrain?

The stars in the universe
Shine down on me another verse
Let the heavens rip through my soul
Don't leave me cold
The messages from above
Speak of pain and hope and truth and love
So give me one more line to sing
Anything
Give me just one more day
I'll figure out what to say
I won't be afraid of now
I won't let the fear undo my will
I try and let myself be still
I will listening to the sound
Of barriers falling down
Why do I need to document my world?
I'm singing all these songs about my girl
Maybe it's just to know it's real
And it's the way that I feel
So give me just one more day
I'll figure out what to say
I won't be afraid of now

Let me tell you this darling right from the start
I love with my hands as well as my heart
And even though I like to hold you close to me
I'll never keep you from seeing the things you want to see
Cause I can't keep a good woman all to myself
It's good for my heart but it's bad for your health
Sometimes I forget that you're not a girl
So I won't hide you from the rest of the world
Cause I can't keep a good woman all to myself
It's good for my heart but it's bad for your health
Now I know sometimes I make mistakes
I hold you too tightly and it makes your heart ache
But I love you so deeply down in my soul
When you go into this world I'll let you go
Cause I can't keep a good woman all to myself
It's good for my heart but it's bad for your health
Sometimes I forget that you're not a girl
So I won't hide you from the rest of the world
Cause I can't keep a good woman all to myself
It's good for my heart but it's bad for your health
I Can't Keep a Good Woman...

Babe come with me
And together we'll see what we can see
Wrapped up inside your arms
And sheltered
Don't explain
I don't need to hear your pain
I already feel it in my bones
You're not alone
This I must say
Not to hurt you or drive you away
This I must do
So that I can love you
And you can tell me all you want
Or have a silence in your throat
Just know that I am here
If you need
This I must say
Not to hurt you or drive you away
This I must do
So that I can love you

You are another night I don't want to remember
Every time, give me a night in June before December
Cause it's just too cold to go outside or anything
At least in the sun of June my memories of you just don't mean a thing
What happened on that night to make you run away?
Everytime, you give no reason why you didn't stay
It don't make any sense to me anymore
But I just can't stop
I just can't stop thinking about it
Don't just look at me and laugh
Say something I'll remember
Try to make it stick in my mind
But you are just too cold, don't go outside or anything
You are the season
The season I don't want to come around
It doesn't matter if you're lost
It doesn't matter
I will live through the winter
As long as it's the last frost

There's a man talking about Kingdom Come
Feels like he's the only one
An angel who's been overcome
Falling from the sky
If your wishes all came true
Would I be in love with you?
All the water all around
Would fall out of my eyes
Even now when I see your face
There are memories I just can't place
With all the time we've thrown away
It's no surprise
There's a man talking about Kingdom Come
Feels like he's the only one

Darling when you hold me
It feels like you console me
And if I hold your gaze too long
I know I'll belong to the blowing wind
So let me tell you gently
It feels like you were meant for me
Up above they made a plan
For me to hold your hand in the shadows
And I know it's right to take it slow
But it feels unreal
In this land it's hard to understand
And it feels unreal
But darling when you hold me
It feels like you console me
And if I see your face once more
I know I'll belong to the blowing wind
And I know it's right to take it slow
But it feels unreal
In this land it's hard to understand
And it feels unreal
But darling when you hold me
It feels like you console me
And if I see your face once more
I know I'll belong to the blowing wind
