Into The Great Wide Open

The day fell down, the air got cold
I walked out in the street
Daydreamed for a mil e or two
Staring at my feet
Like a workin' boy, out of luck
Fallin' through the cracks
Night rolled in, i turned back home
A hard wind at my back

I'm out in the cold (out in the cold)
Body and soul (out in the cold)
Th ere's nowhere to go (out in the cold)
I'm out in the cold (out in the cold)

Well i woke up
My brain was stunned
I could come around
I reached out to grab my keys
Tumbled to the ground
I thought of you
Starry eyed
I wondered where we stand
Did i just fall from your arms
Down into your hands

I'm out in the cold (out in the cold)
Body and soul (out in the cold)
There's nowhere to go (out in the cold)
I'm out in the cold (out in the cold)

I'm out
Standin' in a doorway

I'm out
Walkin' around
Hands in my pockets

I'm out in the cold (out in the cold)
Body and soul (out in the cold)
There's nowhere to go (out in the cold)
I'm out in the cold (o ut in the cold)

In the dark of the sun
Will you save me a place
Give me hope, give me comfort
Get me to a better place

Saw you sail across a river
Underneath orion's sword
In your eyes there was a freedom
I had never known before

Hey yeah yeah
In the dark of the sun
We will stand together
Yeah we will stand as one
Oh in the dark of the sun

Past my days of great confusion
Past my days of wondering why
Will i sail into the heavens
Constellations in my eyes

Hey yeah yeah
In the dark of the sun
We will stand together
Yeah we will stand as one
Oh in the dark of the sun

Hey yeah yeah
In the dark of the sun
We will stand together
Yeah we will stand as one
Oh in the dark of the sun

Somewhere out my doorway
Somewhere down my block
I can hear her heartbeat
In rhythm with my clock
I want her more than diamonds
I want her more than gold
I want her more than anything
Anyone could hold

We were built to last
On until forever
The world is changing fast
Oh, but our love is built to last

She has followed me down
Along some empty str eets
She has followed me where
The rain would fall in sheets
And i know i've been changing
Changing like the wind
I was feeling burned out
I got tired of it

We were built to last
On until forever
The world is chan ging fast
Oh, but our love is built to last

Woah...
Woah...

So come to me my darling
Hold me while i sleep
I know you feel lost
But you're not in too deep

We were built to last
On until forever
The world is changing fast
Oh, but our love is built to last
Yeah our love was built to last

Her imagination ran wild
Could this really happen to me?
She could barely hold back the tears

It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true

Everything that she'd waited for
Everything that she'd dared to dream
Suddenly was outside her door

It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true

There was no talk of giving in
And just as hope was wearing thin
Her eyes were like a child again

Too good to be true

Morning on the outskirts of town
Sitting in the traffic alone
You don't know what it means to be free

It was too good to be true

Two gunslingers, walked out in the street
And one said "i don't wanna fight no more"
And the other gunslinger thought about it
And he said, "yeah what are we fighting for?"

I'm t akin' control of my life,
I'm takin' control of my life
I'm takin' control of my life now,
Right now, oh yeah

Well the crowd that assembled
For the gun fight were let down
Everyone hissed and booed
And a stranger told h is mrs.
That's the last one of these gunfights
You're ever gonna drag me to

I'm takin' control of my life,
I'm takin' control of my life
I'm takin' control of my life now,
Right now, oh yeah

Well the two gunslinge rs
Went ridin' out of town and
Were never heard from no more
And there ain't been a gun fight
For a long time, maybe never
But nobody knows for sure

I'm takin' control of my life,
I'm takin' control of my life
I'm t akin' control of my life now,
Right now, oh yeah

When i was a young boy
I was workin' for the state
I wasn't makin' much money
I was stayin' out late
Go down at nighttime and
Play music in the bars
Take my breaks out underneath the stars

I was makin' some noise
I was a workin' boy up at the top of my voice
Sayin' "look at me mama i'm makin' some noise"

I had to rock the boat, i had to shake the tree
To see what'd fall down on me
I thought "maybe i can make it if i never give in
I been down before, i ain't goin' down again"

I'm makin' some noise
I been a worried boy up at the top of my voice
Sayin' "look at me mama i'm makin' some noise"

From across the canyon a guitar plays
Through an amplifier on a long delay
It was an ol d melody i recognized the song
I had an amplifier too, so i played along

I'm makin' some noise, i'm still a working boy
Up at the top of my voice
Sayin' "look at me mama i'm makin' some noise"

I'm makin' some noise, i been a long gone boy
