Homesick

I can't go with you
And i can't let you go
You can't be with me
So i won't let it show
I don't want you to know
So i'll just have to let you go

I'm going to love you so much better
You'll forget the error of my ways
I'm sending you the good i wished i'd given you
Oh how i miss you rae
Some day you might well laugh at this
As memories of love all shift and time slips away

So don't cry honey
You can't see everything
But the wind still dries your tears
And the sun will keep you living
I just want you to see
My love's unseen but still keeps seeking

I'm going to love you so much better
You'll forget the error of my ways
I'm sending you the good i wished i'd given you
Oh how i miss you rae
Some day you might well laugh at this
As memories of love all shift and time slips away

Oh rae
Oh rae

Send me down my future
From your wheel of fire
Let me only fly
On your wings of desire
What happened to that ride
On your chariot of gold
It had only lasted minutes
From the centuries you hold

What happened to the reign
The reign of love?
Where have all the angels gone
Now the sun's not up above?
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move

I want us to be closer
In fifty years or more
Getting young not older
Like we were here before
But your quarters are all sullied
Your alter boys asleep
Your priests have drunk the wine
You meant us all to keep

What happened to the reign
The reign of love?
Where have all the angels gone
Now the sun's not up above?
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move

What happened to the reign
The reign of love?
Where have all the angels gone
Now the sun's not up above?
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move
I'm not saying your dead
I just think you've changed
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move

I got something and i know it's true
Cause i know you're out there
We all want somebody like you
Cause we all know that you're out there

Animal boys and earthen girls
Are meeting out there
All the friends made in the world
Are waiting out there

I got lost and it all went black
But i saw the light and i got you back
We only love the way we do
Cause there's something out there

Under the stars when it's late at night
I know you're out there
Something knocking and it can't be right
Means we need you're out there
In the city there's a million prayers
Going to someone out there
I found love and it was burning bright
Cause i saw it out there

Beautiful stories you've never heard
Trust me baby you can lean on the wind
We only love the way we do
Cause there's someone out there

Robert johnson, harmonica frank
Digging it out there
Jimmy rogers on the last train back
Sounds better out there

I got lost and it all went black
But i saw the light and i got you back
We only love the way we do
Cause there's something out there

I go to work
And i get in early
Lying to myself i need to be there
I pass the church
And all the hurly burly
Of all the people as they walk without a care
How i'd love to tell them of how i get so happy
Maybe now's not the time
But when's it going to be right?

I come awake
Every time you sleep
I slip away
But it gets so hard to leave
Watching you down deep
And all my troubles to keep
Every time you sleep

You walk to work
And i walk out with you
Lying to the people that we're together
You cross the street
To catch the waterloo train
And i slink back to walk the quiet way back home
How i'd love to sing about what gets me happy
Maybe now's the time
Maybe it's alright?

I come awake
Every time you sleep
I slip away
But it gets so hard to leave
Watching you down deep
And all my troubles to keep
Every time you sleep

I want to get on the telephone
I want to call everyone
I want to know what to say when you mean it

I come awake
Every time you sleep
I slip away
But it gets so hard to leave
Watching you down deep
And all my troubles to keep
Every time you sleep
Every time you sleep
Every time you sleep

You don't have to be grateful
For all the world's ills
There's plenty of people
Never seen the white cliffs of dover

So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything

Got caught in the headlights
Saying something special
There's never a moment
When the beat stops long enough to hear the message

So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything

We all get stuck and we don't know why
We think there's no place we can go to
We need to trip on to

So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything

Everything's got easier since you've been around
Everything's got easier since you've been around

If you're thinking of looking at setting me free
Be sure and tell me baby, so i can see
Cause you can charm the birds down from that old oak tree
Someday i know i'm scared it's gonna be me

These are just the sad times
Don't go thinking they're gonna last forever
These are just the bad times
Everything's got easier now that you're here

Are we awake or are we asleep?
Is there something, something you really need?
Your love, your love, your love is what makes me believe
It keeps raging so hard it brings me peace

These are just the sad times
Don't go thinking they're gonna last forever
These are just the bad times
Everything's got easier now that you're here

Everything's got easier since you've been around
Everything's got easier since you've been around
Everything's got easier since you've been around
Everything's got easier since you've been around

These are just the sad times
Don't imagine things just can't get better
These are just the bad times
Don't go thinking they're gonna last forever
These are just the bad times
Everything's got easier now
Everything's got easier now
Everything's got easier now
Everything's got easier now that you're here

I could almost weep
If i could only take your hand
We're so close to sleep
And so far from deliverance
Once in every lifetime
Love comes down

Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Even higher ground
Would not make you fall
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Would not make you fall

Oh you came tumbling in
Like a river to the valley
Which will not be rolling green again
It's washed everything away
Well it stretches out so beautifully
Shows the heavens up above

Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Even higher ground
Would not make you fall
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall

I couldn't love you better
If i'd loved you all my life
You threw out all the questions
With one big breath - welcome to the world

Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Even higher ground
Would not make you fall
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
