There's a tree at the crossroads There's a nail in my shoe Repeat to me softly As you vow that we'll see it through Let's go to the other side And take in the view Our eyes will see better there Watching the river flow You may say, "I don't know, but I do" Every night will be starless Every day will be fine Each hour will be peaceful As the reeds make the river slow The earth will be broken And will lie there below I am yours, you are mine To long for longer is a crime You may say, "I don't lie, but I do" But I do

Oh my baby baby I love you more than I can tell I don't think I can live without you And I know that I never will Oh my baby baby I want you so it scares me to death I can't say anymore than "I love you" Everything else is a waste of breath I want you You've had your fun you don't get well no more I want you Your fingernails go dragging down the wall Be careful darling you might fall I want you I woke up and one of us was crying I want you You said "Young man I do believe you're dying" I want you If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days I want you You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways I want you Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget I want you Since when were you so generous and inarticulate I want you It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for I want you It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing I want you He tossed some tatty compliment your way I want you And you were fool enough to love it when he said "I want you" I want you The truth can't hurt you it's just like the dark It scares you witless But in time you see things clear and stark I want you Go on and hurt me then we'll let it drop I want you I'm afraid I won't know where to stop I want you I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you I want you I want to know the things you did that we do too I want you I want to hear he pleases you more than I do I want you I might as well be useless for all it means to you I want you Did you call his name out as he held you down I want you Oh no my darling not with that clown I want you I want you You've had your fun you don't get well no more I want you No-one who wants you could want you more I want you I want you I want you Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up I want you I'm going to say it once again 'til I instill it I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it I want you I want you I want you

How can I show my face? I'm a mess and I fear I may confess I'm a fool with or without her Make up what you will about her It's part of the game I can't say her name I've been left in the dark Shine a light right in my eyes You'll never make me talk Alibis I must protect An alias you won't detect I won't place the blame I can't say her name I whisper it so soft and slow When I think no one's listening No one knows The thought of her so strong and slow Stays on my mind I won't ever let her go How can I go to sleep? When I know all too well I'm in this thing too deep It's all I can do not to shout about it I don't need your pity I'm powеrless and proud And I don't feel ashamed Oh, but I can't say her name And that's all

I exit through the spotlight glare I stepped out into thin air Into a perfume so rarefied Here comes the bride Not quite aside, they snide, she's number four There's number three just by the door Those in the know, don't even flatter her, they go one better She was selling speedboats in a trade show when he met her Look at her now She's starting to yawn She looks like she was born to it But it was so much easier When I was cruel She reaches out her arms to me Imploring another melody So she can dance her husband out on the floor The captains of industry just Lie there where they fall In eau-de-nil and pale carnation creation A satin sash and velvet elevation She straightens the tipsy head-dress of her spouse While hers recalls a honey house There'll be no sorrows left to drown Early in the morning in your evening gown But it was so much easier When I was cruel The entrance hall was arranged With hostesses and ushers Who turned out to be the younger wives Nursing schoolgirl crushes Parting the waves of those Few feint friends Fingers once offered are now too Heavy to extend The ghostly first wife glides up On stage, whispering to raucous talkers Spilling family secrets out to Flunkey's and castrato walkers See that girl, watch that scene Digging the dancing queen

I Lay my belly on the ground Press My ear against the earth I can hear her cry inside That she's never ever ever been heard I fix my eyes upon the sky Blinded by her worth How we all deny and hide That she's not dying deep inside is so absurd Oh If I Could Throw My Arms Around The World I would Love it back to life I would Love it back to life I would Love it back Love it back Love it back to life Oh If I Could Throw My Arms Around The World I could heal a little hurt I could heal a little hurt I could heal a little Heal a little Heal a little hurt Oh If I ... My heart breaks that we let her down Placating all the lies We'll sell her out as if She is Jesus Christ We are Judas kiss What if your mom was crying out for love 'Cause God knows she is Oh If I Could Throw My Arms Around The World I would Love it back to life I would Love it back to life I would Love it back Love it back Love it back to life Oh If I Could Throw My Arms Around The World I could heal a little hurt I could heal a little hurt I could heal a little Heal a little Heal a little hurt Oh If I ... I sometimes feel like I'm just a speck in the sea I'm all alone as I We are much more as we You ever feel like that speck just the same as me You're alone as you We are much more as we We are never just a speck in the sea Even though I is I We are much more as we Look on with open eyes We're the whole God Damn Sea We are much more We are much more Oh If I Could Throw My Arms Around The World I would Love it back to life I would Love it back to life I would Love it back Love it back Love it back to life Oh If I Could Throw My Arms Around The World I could heal a little hurt I could heal a little hurt I could heal a little Heal a little Heal a little hurt Oh If I Could Throw My Arms Around The World I could Love it back to life I would Love it back to life I would Love it back Love it back Love it back to life Oh If I Could Throw My Arms Around The World Maybe we could heal a little hurt We could heal a little hurt We could heal a little Heal a little Heal a little hurt Oh If I Oh If I Oh If I ...
