When it's been that kind of day baby
When everything is not what it should be Everybody's had their say Let's just say today is history And keep keeping the faith Keeping the faith, everyday We're keeping the faith Keep keeping the faith, don't give it away When your head's not making sense baby When your heart is just a mystery When you're sitting on the fence Instead of knowing where you're supposed to be Well, just keep keeping the faith Keeping the faith, everyday Well be keeping the faith Keep keeping the faith, don't give it away All the style, all the money, all the power you can buy Won't do nothing if there's something missing way down deep inside It's the weary, its the lonesome It's the forest that we just can't see Don't forget now, there ain't no one Who isn't trying to see beyond the trees So, just keep keeping the faith Keeping the faith, everyday Well be keeping the faith Keep keeping the faith, don't give it away Keeping the faith Keeping the faith, everyday We'll be keeping the faith keeping the faith, don't give it away |

We were born during the boom times,
played house down in the bomb shelter Suffered through the wonder years, and silence at the dinner hour But once upon a summertime, out behind the old garage We were buzzing on midnight, luckys and rolling rock Thinking we were heroes in our own hometown Nothing less than heroes in that old hometown Some married on a day in june, some disappeared without a trace And some of us are still at large, still searching for a better place But once upon another time, it didn't matter what they said Didn't matter if we fell behind, we'd still come out ahead Cause we believed in heroes in that old hometown Hey, you could be a hero in your own hometown Now I'm long away and very far, from gazing at an evening sky From wishing on a shooting star, from thinking that a heart can't lie This world is gonna wear you thin, knot you up and spin you round This world will take its aim, call you every name, trying to bring you down Everything seems so clear when u're looking back from such a distance When the road not taken disappears into the path of least resistance But once upon a time oh so long ago Underneath this same old sky every brand new road Would know that we were heroes in our own hometown Nothing less than heroes in that old hometown We still loved a hero in our own hometown Baby you could be a hero in your own hometown |

I can see it now, walking by myself
And suddenly you're there walking with somebody else I can see it now, what's right up ahead A scene I've played a thousand times over in my head I can see it now, it isn't just a dream Can't shake myself awake, can't fall right back to sleep Face to face I come right up to the truth I can see it now, I'm still not over you I can hear it now,your voice sayin' my name It's too late for me to walk the other way I can hear it now, asking how I've been Oh and by the way have you met my friend I can hear it now, a breaking all apart A strange familiar sound that's coming from my heart Feelin' just as bad as the day that it was new I can see it now, I'm still not over you When you're out of sight, baby you're still on my mind you're much too hard to lose, you're too easy to find Like a bottle to a drunk, like trouble to a fool I've only ever seen, just what I've wanted to I can feel it now, as you walk away Somethin' left unsaid and the nothin' left to say I can feel it now like weather in my bones Before it even comes, before I even know I can feel it now, the empty and the ache That bitter little pill that I don't want to take Instead I'd swallow all the pride I ever knew To crawl back if you asked, all that I would do I can see it now |

You're like a cool breeze to a hot spell
You're like a long drink to a dry well Oh I know by now there's no use thinking That it's something in that water I've been drinking Cause I would not need even one more drop if you'd just let me into your heart you're like a blue sky to a grey day you're like a new try to an old way Oh I never needed much convincing 'bout that something in my life that's been missing But I think I know where to find that part if you'd just let me into your heart I got a past baby, now who doesn't I won't ask you to think that I wasn't Who I was back then, yes it's true But that was when I didn't know you You're like a sweet sight to these tired eyes You're like the first light after a long night Oh I never believed in the hands of fate But to be with you baby, I believe I'd wait Til the end of time for a chance to start If you'd just let me into your heart You're like a sweet smile to these tired eyes You're like the last mile on a long ride Oh I never believed in the arms of fate But to be in yours darling, I believe I'd wait Til the end of time for a chance to start If you'd just let me into your heart Til the end of time, baby I can start If you'd just let me into your heart |

What if we went to Italy A suitcase of books and one bag a piece for the summer I don't speak a word of Italian Except for Campari and soda for two, how much is a Lire Yes, a villa will do and a breeze, in Tuscany please What if we spent all of our days, improving our minds, learning new ways to be lazy It wouldn't be too much of a strain Relax after breakfast till lunch comes around Can't wait for dinner, oh, I need to lie down And refuel, out by the pool What if the ancients were lazy like us Too blissed out to paint, to sketch or to sculpt Just as relaxed as the tower of Pisa Not ever missing that old Mona Lisa What if we never got back on the plane As summer turned colder and then warmer again Losing all track of the passing of years Till it no longer mattered how long we'd been here What if we went to Italy Maybe next year, just you and me for the summer I still can't speak any Italian But words are replaced under Siennese skies By nothing so much as a nod, and a sigh, and a wish to be always like this |

I'm not made of stone, I'm not made of glass
I've been alone, every one has I've learned to forgive what I'm not I just try to live with what I've got Maybe I've got what you need If you need something that not only feels right Something that's based on a real life One thing that's worth every page of the deal Not some old line, or rose-colored dream Not some other time, you know what I mean When I tell you that this is all that it seems and that's real How far can I crawl out on this limb There's so far to fall and here comes the wind There's so much to lose, but love doesn't wait So I'll be a fool who found out too late But I've been a fool for far lesser things And I want something that not only feels right Something that's based on a real life One thing that's worth every page of the deal Not some old line, or rose-colored dream Not some other time, you know what I mean When I tell you that this is all that it seems, and that's real Not some old line or rose-colored dream Not some other time, you know what I mean When I tell you that I'm, I'm all that I seem, and that's real |

Today Joseph is sitting alone,
with occasional nods to the waitress She tops off his cup while she's snapping her gum, making her rounds on the lunch shift Counting out coins, he leaves them arranged, in neat lines and circles and arcs She just stares at the tip that spells out her name and ideas are like stars And yesterday pedaling down 4th Avenue, between the stalls and the bookshops The sepia tones of a lost afternoon cradled a curio storefront And inside the air was thick with the past, as the dust settled onto his heart And here for a moment is every place in the world and ideas are like stars They fall from the sky, they run round your head They litter your sleep as they beckon They'd teach you to fly without wires or thread They promise if only you'd let them For the language of longing never had words, so how did you speak from your heart Yet here is a box that swears it has heard that ideas are like stars Tonight Joseph stood out in the yard, as Debussy played from the kitchen Celestial companions `til mornings first lark, shone overhead and he listened And who was that shadow there by the gate, who was that there standing guard It was only loneliness, and loneliness waits, and ideas are like stars Ideas are like stars |

Been walking these streets, been deciding what's true
Been hands in my pockets, coat collar up, thinking `bout you I've been talking to myself, giving fate the third degree I've been eyes on the pavement admitting my part to strangers passing me And I know it isn't fair, but nothing's ever been Hey when you look at me baby, my god how I feel so good again I don't know where I went wrong, but it isn't right to lie Hey when you look at me baby, my hearts wide open, naked to the eye Now some lovers are apart, but they're never far away I can see her in your eyes, hear her in your voice and I have to turn away Oh what covet is to ache, is what aching is to me For the arms of a man who knows who I am and where I need to be And if I know what I know, then the lonely can't pretend When you look at me baby, my god how I feel so whole again Is there heaven after all, or just this empty space That no amount of time, nor comfort in it's hands can ever help me face Which is worse is yet to come, your rebuff or my resign Hey when you look at me baby, I'm helpless as a child, naked to the eye It's like a fever and a spell, unbroken by a sigh Oh when you look at me baby I'm going nowhere, just naked to the eye Yeah when you look at me baby, everythings there, naked to the eye Hey when you look at me baby, I haven't got a prayer, naked to the eye |

Some people need to know what to expect
Need to keep control, need to keep one step Ahead of every chance, as if chance decides Who it's gonna pass, who it will reward They don't understand, chances don't keep score They just find us when we're there to find And so this has to be, a sudden gift of fate You're nothing less to me than a sudden gift of fate It's not as if it comes down to your turn that someone somewhere feels you've earned You just learn to wait for sudden gifts of fate Some people have never been the lonely kind Never called a friend in the middle of the night Just to hear a voice say it's okay And now I hear you speak each and every word That I didn't think lonely people heard You took a long night and turned it into day And so this has to be, a sudden gift of fate You're nothing less to me than a sudden gift of fate Its not as if it comes down to your turn that someone somewhere feels you've earned You just learn to wait for sudden gifts of fate You can celebrate, gifts are never late You just learn to wait for sudden gifts of fate |

Every heart has got a story
About love holding out a lure Baby, when you've been that lonely You just want a cure Fool you once, you are forgiven Fool you twice, you're just a fool You fear the futures all been written By the past, and what didn't last All the better to dream of you The better to be this side of heaven Believing again when a dream comes true The better to dream of you Every story's got a chapter That chapter will be defined By what's before and what comes after This one is mine Everything that came before us Wore me out and weighed me down You raised me up like a gospel chorus Rock steady on solid ground The better to dream of you The better to be this side of heaven Believing again when some dreams come true The better to dream of you Like an old time tent revival I felt my heart come back alive No preacher baby, no bible, just this love to testify Oh, the better to dream of you The better to be this side of heaven Believing again some dreams come true The better to dream of you The better to dream of you Yeah, stranger things they might have happened Believing again that dreams come true The better to dream of you The better to dream of you The better to be this side of heaven Believing again some dreams come true The better to dream of you |

What I'm looking for, after all this time
Keeps me moving forward, trying to find it Since I learned to walk all I've done is run Ready, on my mark, doesn't everyone Need a place in the world Could be right before your very eyes Just beyond a door that's open wide Could be far away or in your own backyard There are those who say, you can look too hard For your place in the world Takes some of us a little longer A few false starts gonna make you stronger When I'm sure I've finally found it Gonna wrap these arms all around it Could be one more mile, or just one step back In a lovers smile, down a darkened path Friends will take our side, enemies will curse us But to be alive is to know your purpose It's your place in the world Your place in the world |
