The autumn leaves drift by my window
The autumn leaves all red and gold
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hand I used to hold
But since you went away
the days grow long
and soon now hear a winter song

Why do you think she wears those black boots...
Why do you think she dyes her hair black...

She's awfully insecure
She's trying to be cool
She's hoping to be more in those,
black boots.

Lord make me a lightning bolt to burn off this ring
(Comin' down, comin' down)
Lord make me a Skillsaw to cut through these chains
(Comin' down, comin' down)
Lord give me the clarity to see through this smoke
And salvage the woman comin' down

Lord make me an arrow to pierce through the lies

Tell me how the story will unfold,
I know you see everything.
Tell me all about the torch and scroll,
I know you know everything.

So why do you come to me?
Why when I'm sleeping?
Why am I the only one who knows you're there?

I'm black on blacker velvet
Milk skin and veins
Like some El Greco painting
So full of pain
So full of longing for light of day

I thought I knew who I was in the world
But here I am twice blind at being born

Who is this hurting mother?
I don't want to be her now
Who in the hell's that sad reflection?
How did I lose myself?
How many time I walk the river, wondering what life's for
Sobbing beneath a staid performance
Too scared to let it out
Duty calls...duty calls...

I know I'm not the woman you married
Those things we promised aren't true
Like better for worse and loving as well as we could.

The most beautiful woman I witnessed,
I knew when your eyes met my eyes,
I thanked sweet Mary 'cause inside I'm dyin'.

Where's my white knight
My prince to save the day?
I've always paved my own way
I'm all alone
Bringing home the bread
Raising the kid, fixing the bed

[Chorus:]

(Holding on, holding on, holding on...)
Here in this vacancy
Where we existed
I carry on in life like some puppet acting her part

The very core of me
An empty garden
The tree of life once flowered her arms to open sky

Spin the globe, stop and start
Come to a place that's torn apart
Here's a secret, it's my heart
Oh well
It's only...

Broken shutters, whistling wind
Vultures circling overhead

Crimson cardinal sees his life
Into the glass he flies
The perfect partner he does spy
A moment's glance of eyes
Reflections of a future love
Feel the pull of fate
The perfect love turned out to be
Himself in haste and vain

Oh John, oh John, oh John

Never lose the memory of April twenty-six
Your hands designed my body
You autographed my hip
I lost all my worry
I lost all sense of time
My fears evaporated

Sometimes I'm too bold for my own good
I go out swinging hard and fast
This world is beating me broken
I need a home to rest

Too quick in the first round
Too slow in the second
Now I'm here in the third

Lost in another world, oh Saturn, Saturn Girl,
Lost in another world, oh Saturn, Saturn Girl...

Far away, ot an infinite world I escape
I'm clear and calm, I'm unafraid.
Sunless days, in my sheltered Milky Way
In Saturn's rings I feel no pain.

She was on the floor, her face was in her mother's arms.
She had said that she'd been out late with the boys.
Just another evening, like every other evening
Everything is all the same it seems.

Danny always called her on the phone for no special reason,
apparently,
He could never tell her what it was, he suffered silently,

Watch the woman's hands as she cultivates the land,
As she plants the seed, as she's on her knees.
Watch her fingers smile as she holds the little child,
As she holds him, as she holds him.

Watch the woman's hands as she holds her children back,
From the danger, from the danger.
Watch how they fight to keep the family tight

Time has come, what's done is done
It's time to move on
To another place, another space, maybe circling some other sun
Don't ask why, don't ask how
I still can't explain
To say goodbye, goodbye for now till I see you again

In the sunlight that's where I'll be
