Down and down I went - in a spiral wheel Til I coudnt touch and I couldnt feelThen you came along and pulled me upShowed me all the things that Id forgotDont let it go - dont let it stopDont let it fool - dont let it dropIve not come this far not to let it goNow I have your love I wont let it goHere is the part that I want it to beIf you want to stay with meThough your precious time is hard to shareIts enough for me to know you careAnd when or if you decide to leave Oh believe me I wont think bad of you Youve made me feel - like Ive always wanted to feelYouve made me whole again - were not gonna lose it until the endAnd just before I reach the endLet me introduce my very good friendThe one who said theyd believe in meWhen all else around has fallen in

I just like a fool let you goNot knowing what I had lostAs only a fool would knowStill counting but not the costAnd so not having much left to showI tried to fool myselfAs only a fool could showUntil she comes to me I never thought that it would be this waySee I took it granted that you were here to stayYou with your brown eyes of blueI couldnt see further than meNow I see the same old viewUnless you come back to meUntil you come back to meIf you come back to meI never thought it would be this waySee I took it granted that you were here to stayI just like a fool let you goNot knowing what I had lostAs only a fool would knowUnless you come back to meUntil you come back to meIf you come back to me

Ive counted all the pores of my skinIve listed all the places Ive beenIm trying not to keep it out of my mindIm trying to remember my linesIm trying to will the sun to shineSo I dont crack and crumble with timeDeep inside Ive determined to winI must admit to the skin Im inI aint going under this timeThis time Ive made up my mindI aint going under this timeIm trying to remember my linesIm trying to will the sun to shineSo I dont crack and crumble with timeIve counted all the pores of my skinIve listed all the places Ive beenSo I dont crack and crumble with time

Tired of dust and dirt to cleanThis place once loved now makes me sickIve got to get awayIve passed the places of my youthTorn out pages from a well-read bookI dream awhile - but I leave it anywayBut I can still remember whenI could still laugh and call you friendAnd only you -You used to talk so wild and freeNow you cant remember what you used to beYouve lost the willYou could never be wrongNo you were never that strongSome are listening Some are doingSome are wasting awayI am leavingSome cannot hearSome are waiting Most are writhing awayTorn between the deep blue seaFrom a place on earth that appeals to meHell I cant swim anywayBut not for me but those I leaveThink of them as dying leaves that may bloom againIm leaving

My man mistreated me, and he drove me from his door Lord he mistreated me, and he drove me from his door But the Good Book says you've got to reap just what you sow I got the world in a jug, got the supper? right here in my hand I got the world in a jug, got the supper? right here in my hand And if ...
