Rockfords, The

I

I close my eyes
And drift away
To a far, far better place
I fall asleep
And leave you here
In the twisted sheets of love
Oh it's been a scene
Since you and I
Have stopped talking
So all I do is dream
Of a city in the South
A place I'll go to
Adelaide
I'll take you with me
When I go down to
Christmas in the summertime
Adelaide
Adelaide
I'll take you with me
When I go
Day after day
You say a dollar saved
Is a dollar earned
And I
Count the clocks
In our house
and add up all our silence
Oh you've got a lock
And I can't find
The key to your heart
Let's take a plane
And leave this on the ground
And fly down to
(chorus)
How long has it been, baby?
How long has it been?
I close my eyes
And drift away
(chorus, repeated and fade)

Riverwide, river deep
You're always calling me to go
Guess I'll maybe build a boat?
I think I know.
Out of the sky onto the sea
Outside the rain and down again
Guess I'll maybe understand?
I think I am
Never push the river
You can hold the river down
Push the river for all your worth
Take a turn and run it 'round
Why so unforgiving?
River
Climbing clouds up from the trees
I wanna bring the stars into me
Then I'll have to let them go
I think I know

I have to laugh at inside terror
To survive another day
The trying, the selling of my soul and my fall from grace
You see the darkened streets reigning gamblers are dealing insecurity
And I am tempted to
Painting everything invisible
Creating a simple life
Walking by the open windows keeps me from cement angels
Walking by the open windows keeps me from going outside
Stepping through the mirror shared
Cutting me like sickening fire
I know the tools to break into the danger zone I

Hey sure shot I got one thing to ask
Why don

What about me
What about you
Are we on our own
I won't call you anymore
And I'll find a silver lining
I know you loved me
Back when we were friends
Back when I was cool
Before I broke some rule
Now you've moved into another place
But I miss you still
As I always will
And then you say to me
You can't deny
There's something here that makes us hurt
and you say, isn't it love?
So what about me
What about you
Are we on our own
And I won't call you anymore
And I'll find a silver lining
In my own black little cloud
Maybe I was proud
Maybe you were proud
The way we talked it out and walked away
Like ghosts in the day
I have nothing new to offer you
You're my own best friend
And I'll say again
As you said to me
You can't deny
There's something here that makes us hurt
and you say, isn't it love?
So what about me
What about you
Are we on our own
And I won't call you anymore
And I'll find a silver lining
In my own black little cloud
I'm alone
Yes, I'm all right
I know that I can make it through this night
So what about me
What about you
Are we on our own
And I won't call you anymore
And I'll find a silver lining
In my own black little cloud
So what about me
What about you
Are we on our own
And I won't call you anymore
And I'll find a silver lining
Yes I will
So what about me
What about you
Are we on our own
And I won't call you anymore
And I'll find a silver lining
Yes I will
Yes I will
So what about me
What about you
Are we on our own
So what about me
What about you
Are we on our own
Will we find a silver lining
Will we find a silver lining
Will we find a silver lining
