RAIN OF FIRE
Morning comes and I wake up to find myself asleep.
I reach out to touch myself and find I cannot feel.
Well if this is what it seems I wonder what will come?
Tell me if you care to for I wonder what's been done?
Is this just an endless dream and not the end of me?
Or the sweet beginning of an endless life with Thee?
Very strange, I’d like to say, I can’t stand much more,
I’m sure that I’ve never been quite this bored.
I’d like to add just how much better I felt before,
But, the difference is too great to tell for sure.
Ah, though the wonders of the world can’t be explained,
When all the world around me goes insane?
Here’s your room and there’s your bed,
I’ll just strap you in so you don’t fall,
Padded though they are, I’m sure,
That it’s really quite nice all in all,
So much for the way I said I'm sorry,
So much for the way I said it would be.
The doors that close between us have no key.
When we dream dreams of life we dream dreams of plenty,
Doesn't matter if we dream of love or life of ease.
These dreams make up our life,
The doors that close between us have no key.
Each door we close - still opens easily,
I lift my hand up to you and all my dreams,
Was all I could do and all for your love.
Come stand inside the drumhead don't it hurt your brain?
Count off another hundred show them to the train.
And everything would be fine if I could just have my way,
Wouldn't take me one day, uh uh,
You were a lovely baby, how'd you get that way?
Show Jenny to the window she keeps trying to fly,
Her door for the last four days hasn't let her by.
And everything would be fine if I could just have my way,
Wouldn't take me one day, uh uh,
Throw down your drumsticks baby, jump up and get away.
Well, there's a cross road ahead and a bus that is burning,
Wheels that once turned are now just char upon the road.
And all the souls that were riders on the bus were inside her,
When the wheels caught on fire as they traveled down the road.
Seems they were all self enjoyed on their way to Dishonest,
When they came into contact with a straight and narrow road.
They took a turn for the worse and I guess that's what did it,
Cause there was no one who hit it that could cause it to explode.
So for the rest of the tour if there's wheels don't get on it,
Don't step one foot upon it as you travel down the road.
Cause there's a road up ahead and it leads to Dishonest,
All the AMT's turn on it into char upon the road.
You say that this time you've won,
Well love, you know if its true,
You say that you love someone,
And there's nothing that you'd rather do.
You say that time has changed you,
Well, you look still good to me,
Another time, another place and,
I swear you'd be perfect for me.
The time that you said was ours,
Well, love would never be true,
And I just don't know what I will do.
Another girl, another place, well love
Olden days these fondest of yours,
Olden days these mystery tours.
And you're the one-you are the one love,
You are the one, you are the girl next door,
You're the one that drops me to my knees.
And I just don't know what I will do.
Well, I guess I had the feeling,
When the blues got here that day,
They would hang around a little while,
Well, it’s going to be just like that,
Yeah, you know it’s going to be just like that,
You came on like a little child,
We would make love every morning,
We would make love every night,
And in between when there was time,
You broke my heart and sent me off,
They said that you just weren't good enough,
And that it was wrong to care about you.
And even from you these words would come,
You said that you didn't want someone,
Who wanted to feel that way about you.
And in the end I know I'll find the reason why,
You would run from hot to cold in such short time.
For the feelings that we shared and never had a chance to find,
Couldn't die enough to not come back in time.
And when it happens it will happen for all time.
So I haven't the will to give you up,
Nor even the strength to say enough,
For hard as I've tried I can't forget you.
The thought of you is always on my mind,
It follows me everywhere and I,
I couldn't escape it if I had to.
With every thought of you laughter's easier to find,
And it gets a little better everyday.
For there's thousands of tomorrows,
We get closer to the one when you'll be mine,
That's a dream I have that cannot be denied.
Dreams upon dreams of impossible things,
Are meant to be dreamed for these are real...
Impossible things are meant to be dreams,
For dreams come true dream upon dream,
Are meant to be dreamed for these are the real,
Has been said and left to lie here,
I'll be thinking 'bout you as I did before.
That you're the finest thing that's happened,
To this life the Lord has put here,
More than anything I've ever known before.
I'd have to say love I'd have to say tears,
If you were to ask me what I'm doing here.
I'd have to say times we clung to the edge,
In hopes that we would survive.
And then there were times spent lost in your eyes,
While holding your hand on a warm summer night.
Just hoping these days would never go by,
Just hoping our love survives.
Today is a good day for the sun to shine,
Tomorrow a mystery a friend of mine,
And yesterdays never have made me wait,
'Cause yesterday's never late.
'Cause it's just the hardest to do.
Of a life where your love had once been,
In the wink of an eye, by your side,
The seas you will sail over to get there,
Once stormy are now calmed by the storm,
And so too will days to come be for you,
The warmth of a smile, the shelter from harm.
This couldn't be harder to do.
In the wink of an eye you just think...
I know you have been hurt by somebody else,
I can tell by the way that you carry yourself.
But if you'll let me do what I want to do,
I've loved and lost just the same as you,
That's how I know what you must be going through.
But if you'll let me do what I want to do,
Cause I'll be there beside you,
So won't you say that you'll be true,
I have no doubt in my mind what I have to do.
Then just as sure as one and one is two,
Every time I fall in love my heart gets broken,
Every girl I ever loved has left me crying,
And every time my heart breaks a little bit of me dies,
And when I think of how it aches I ask myself why,
Must every girl I've ever loved share her love?
That if they try to share their love,
It never has a chance to grow?
I buy em presents try to treat em right but they just walk on,
Tell me Lord, I'm on my knees what am I doing wrong?
Will every time I fall in love turn out this way?
Must every time I fall in love end in this way?
Must every girl I've ever loved share her love?
Oh, don't they know that if they try to share their love,
It never has a chance to grow?
Oh Lord, look what is happening to me,
Help me Lord I’m down on my knees.
Cause every time I fall in love a little bit of me dies,
Every time I fall in love I cry,
But, no more will I have to cry,
