The moon and the stars all too far away
Lessons of life can’t be learned in a day
All I ask of you, is please hear what I’ve got to say
You, you are the truth.
And when storms inside me raging and black dogs begin to bark
When my heart is like the open sea – mysterious and dark.
Safe me from myself, be my Joan of Arc
You, be my Joan of Arc
Like waves that crush onto the shore
I fell in love with other women, many times before
Always thinking that there must be more.
There is more.
Sometimes everything I do are things I will regret
Sometimes all I can remember are things I’m trying to forget
Sometimes every word I say, I wish I never said
But you, you are the truth.
And when the devil comes to take me and reaches for my hand
When I follow where he leads me and accept him as a friend
All that I can think of, all that matters in the end
Is you, you matter in the end.
Like waves that crush onto the shore
I fell in love with other women, many times before
Always thinking that there must be more.
There is more.
And even though my mind is dizzy, sometimes it’s crystal clear
I hear the voice of Elvis take away my fear
And he says “Every time you near all my sorrows disappear”.
