I was lost till you were found, but I never knew how far down
I was falling before I reached the bottom
I was cold and you were fire and I never knew how the pyre
Could be burning on the edge of the ice field
And the now chilly california wind is blowing down our bodies again
And we’re sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly california sand
Oh, I know you belong inside my aching heart
And can’t you see my faded levis bursting apart?
And don’t you hear me crying?
Oh babe, don’t go!
And don’t you hear me screaming?
How was I to know?
I’m in the middle of nowhere, near the end of the line
But there’s a border to somewhere waiting and there’s a tankful of time
Oh, give me just another moment to see the light of the day
And take me to another land where I don’t have to stay
And I’m gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes
Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through
For crying out loud, you know I love you
For crying out loud, you know I love you
For crying out loud, you know I love you
I was damned and you were saved and I never knew how enslaved
I was kneeling in the chains of my master
I could laugh but you could cry and I never knew just how high
I was flying, oh, with you right above me
And the now chilly california wind is blowing down our bodies again
And we’re sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly california sand
Oh, I know you belong inside my aching heart
And can’t you see my faded levis bursting apart?
And don’t you hear me crying?
Oh babe, don’t go!
And don’t you hear me screaming?
How was I to know?
I’m in the middle of nowhere, near the end of the line
But there’s a border to somewhere waiting and there’s a tankful of time
Oh, give me just another moment to see the light of the day
And take me to another land where I don’t have to stay
And I’m gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes
Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through
For crying out loud, you know I love you
For crying out loud, you know I love you
For crying out loud, you know I love you
For taking in the rain when I’m feeling so dry
For giving me the answers when I’m asking you why
And my oh my, for that I thank you
For taking in the sun when I’m feeling so cold
For giving me a child when my body is old
And don’t you know, for that I need you
For coming to my room when you know I’m alone
For finding me a highway and driving me home
And you gotta know, for that I serve you
For pulling me away when I’m starting to fall
For revving me up when I’m starting to stall
And all in all, for that I want you
For taking and for giving and for playing the game
For praying for my future in the days that remain
Oh lord, for that I hold you
Oh, but most of all: For cryin out loud, for that I love you
Oh, but most of all: For cryin out loud, for that I love you
Oh, but most of all: For cryin out loud, for that I love you
When you’re crying out loud, you know I love you
