I'm heading down the road to Providence Leave these billboard lights far behind I used to have a girl in confidence Now these painted lines, they hold me tight Leave a light on Here comes the rain and exit signs Mark the end of the day Leave a light on Here comes the rain and exit signs Mark the end of the day Leave a light on Leave a light on

A cold November day Feel the warmth of summer fade away When we were lovers all through July Living under the covers all day and night I know some day Our love will fade in time So where do we go Where do we go Where do we go The beat goes on like rolling wind and we can't go back again So where do we go A chain reaction of beating hearts A chemical attraction That falls apart We are swimming backwards against the tide Never moving forward Never left behind I know some day Our love will fade in time So where do we go Where do we go Where do we go The beat goes on like rolling wind and we can't go back again So where do we go

The war is raging and innocent lives are blinded by the firefight, on this cold night, its killing time The fear it comes in stages like riddles and rhymes When you waiting for the warm sound of the bomb that is coming down And so today I'll wait For the Sunday mourning high And so today I'm black and blue See the fires changing from yellow to white What used to be home now, is tomb for man and wife And all the babies they whistle in time singing "why did you have to go and kill the sunshine of our life" And so today I'll wait For the Sunday mourning high And so today I'm black and blue And the walls are caving in And the souls are growing thin But in their hearts, they win And so today I'll wait For the Sunday mourning high And so today I'm black and blue

I push us out And you grab the oar The pressure is down It feels like a storm Is it me Or have we been here before Lets get closer to shore Lets get closer to shore Your hand Brushing the waves The water flies And splashes your face With a smile I hear you say Lets get closer to shore Lets get closer to shore Dock the boat On beach in the bay Build a fire To keep bugs away And with a smile I hear you say Lets send the boat back alone Lets send the boat back alone

Another lonely night The breath of the morning brings tears to your eyes You swallow like a pill The places we used hide Are paved over forests between exit signs We can't go back again We can't go back again Come lie to me But make it rhymes with an old melody Come hold my hand You be the moonlight and I'll be the sand The waves tumble and dive Alone on the ocean until all the tides Can bring them home again And if the moment is right We'll reach the horizon in soft candle light The sun will rise again The sun will rise again Come lie with me We'll fade into black like an old memory Come hold my hand You be the moonlight and I'll be the sand You be the moonlight and I'll be the sand Winters and summers All fade in time So hold on to each other All night Come lie to me But make it rhymes with an old melody Come hold my hand You be the moonlight and I'll be the sand Come lie with me We'll fade into black like an old memory Come hold my hand You be the moonlight and I'll be the sand You be the moonlight and I'll be the sand

Fire and Ice 06:09
I know a place In time and space Where we can laugh Say yes And put my bones to rest Where summer days Just melt away Who can take this? You make me laugh, say yes And put my bones to rest Come rescue me from the fire and ice From the fire and ice If you're holding to life Say yes I'm so tired of waiting for daylight The world is breaking in plain sight Come rescue me from the fire and ice From the fire and ice If you're holding to life Say yes Say yes You make me laugh, say yes And put my bones to rest So tired of waiting Come rescue me from the fire So tired of waiting Come rescue me from the fire So tired of waiting Come rescue me from the fire So tired of waiting Come rescue me from the fire So tired of waiting
