You can't speak, you can't sleep.
You daren't move, you're confused.
You never talk, you can't walk.
You can't feel, you're not real.

If I open my eyes, just far enough,
I can see what you're doing.
Go on, fight to the end, it's tough enough
When you're on the road to ruin. Yeah!

[ Chorus ]
You're a hostage of the heart,
Twisted 'round the smallest finger.
Two burning eyes are tearing you apart,
Turn your soul into a cinder.

There's no rest, you're possessed.
You can't leave, you can't breathe.
The door slams, your head hangs.
You blank stare, you don't care.

If you open your eyes just far enough,
You see the street lamps flicker.
Go on, fight to the end, it's tough enough
When you know the end is bitter.

[ Repeat Chorus ]

You're number's up, you're eyes shut.
You're on the brink, you can't think.
You wanna run, but you're stunned.
You can't lie, you don't try.

If I open my eyes, look hard enough,
I see the blue light flashes.
Go on, fight to the end, it's tough enough,
Riding on the road to ashes.

[ Repeat Chorus ]

I'm a hostage of your heart,
You can twist me 'round your finger.
Your burning eyes are tearing me apart.
Turn my soul into a cinder.
Boy, boy, hostage of your heart.
Can you twist me 'round your finger?

She takes the rain
Turns it to sun
And my soul she fills it

Where once was a desert
Rivers now run
And my storm she stills it
She takes the rain (and turns it to sun)

She breathes the air
from a far country
This bond survives
Like a tall, tall tree
I close my eyes
And how far I sees...She takes the rain

She gives me hope
When there's nothing but pain
I can't explain it
Two different leaves
But the branche is the same
Forever let it be...She takes the rain

She breathes the air
From a far country
This bond survives
Like a tall, tall tree
I close my eyes
And how far I see...She takes the rain

(solo)

ease the pain

She breathes the air, from a far country
This bond survives, like it's all told dream
I close my eyes, and how far I see
She takes the rain

I know you'll never stay the same
In time most of us lose it
But I'm hoping just the same
You'll shine and learn how to use it

Speak to me like the very first speak
You are magnificent when you're innocent
Laugh to me like the very first laugh
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent

My hands hold you and you adore
Blue eyes turn my direction
Suprise in everything and your
Body moves in perfection

Smile to me like the very first smile
You are magnificen when you're innocent
Walk to me like the very first walk
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent

Sunrise here comes another day
Cow jumps over the moon now
Sometime you will look back and say
Today I'll sing my own tune

Sing to me like the very first sing
You are magnificent when you're innocent
Laugh to me like the very first laugh
You are omipotent when you're innocent

Speak to me like the very first speak
You are magnificent when you're innocent
Smile to me like the very first smile
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent
Sing to me like the very first sing
You are magnificent when you're innocent

Good sister, won't you let me in?
I'm in need of some warmth and shelter.
It's a hard luck story, don't know where to begin.
I've been riding on life's helter-skelter.


Save me, Holy Mother, please, save me!
I got a heart of gold.


[ Chorus 1 ]

And for your love I'd go hungry and thirsty.
I need a saviour and you're the one.
I throw myself into the arms of mercy.
There's still hope for the runaway son.


My good father, he say to me:
"Better come back to your senses.
There's an empty bottle lying on the floor
And it's undermined your defences."


Save me, Holy Mother, please, save me!
I got a heart of gold.


[ Repeat Chorus 1 ]

[ Repeat Chorus 1 ]

Good brother, show me how to get home.
I've been walking in the backyard of Satan.
I'm so stubborn that I'll never give in,
But now my heart's cold and aching.


Save me, Holy Mother, please, save me!
I got a heart of gold.


[ Chorus 2 ]

And for your love I'd go hungry and thirsty.
I need a saviour and you're the one.
I throw myself into the arms of mercy.
Salvation for the runaway son.


Save me, Holy Mother, please, save me!
I got a heart of gold.


[ Repeat Chorus 1 ]
