[Verse 1] Went from John Hancock, Washington DC, George Washington, all around America Now look, now look, now look, now look I fear my dear its all too clear its all too clear And the paper hearts been torn Cant you stay through the night please through the night please Cant we pray on our knees To keep us calm right where we belong In a fortress of pine trees The wind sighs button up now Dont look behind, keep your vows Let the moon cry and the bricks to crumble down [Chorus] Cant explain what Im feeling But I came this far To take your hand Help you understand why Im always wanting more I saw her standing there Tears upon her cheek told me something was wrong Oh girl, just look away Oh girl, just look away [Verse 2] I can still recall the night all the time All the time, all the time Lightning burned the mansion down all the time, all the time We all stood in out pajamas on that hallowed southern ground When the flames had turned to ashes only blackened bricks remained And sixteen stately Doric columns there beneath a veil of gray I was taught by elders wiser, love your neighbor, love your God Never saw a cross on fire never saw an angry mob I saw sweet magnolia blossoms, I chased lightening bugs at night [Chorus] Cant explain what Im feeling But I came this far To take your hand Help you understand why Im always wanting more I saw her standing there Tears upon her cheek told me something was wrong Oh girl, just look away Oh girl, just look away [Verse 3] Standing looking in the mirror Wondering who it is I see The face seems so familiar But it doesnt look like me something is changing ,somethings different A foreign look behind my stare I feel frantic, almost desperate, he acts as if he doesnt care A smile cracks his face, a tear comes to my eye, his laughter fills the room Words echo in my mind, fell the lock of tension closing As I slowly turn the key I sense joints lock into place Like cement setting in my veins [Chorus] Cant explain what Im feeling But I came this far To take your hand Help you understand why Im always wanting more I saw her standing there Tears upon her cheek told me something was wrong Oh girl, just look away Oh girl, just look away [Hook] Like an attic stored with memories,the contents are so rarely seen A complex creature I labor to see through the haze, yeah Yay! Oh Sryan Bruen, I strive to know myself Come on [Chorus] Cant explain what Im feeling But I came this far To take your hand Help you understand why Im always wanting more I saw her standing there Tears upon her cheek told me something was wrong Oh, just look away Oh, just look away Cant explain what Im feeling But I came this far To take your hand Help you understand why Im always wanting more I saw her standing there Tears upon her cheek told me something was wrong Oh, just look away Oh, just look away
look, saw, wanting, away, cheek
