We used to laugh, we used to cry.
We used to bow our heads, then wonder why.
And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on.
And make the best of what you've left to me;
Left to me, left to me.
I need you like the flower needs the rain.
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again.
You know I need you like the winter needs the spring.
You know I need you, I need you.
Whenever it's a rainy day
I pack my troubles up in my room.
I chase all the clouds away;
I get myself back to the womb.
But I know that you're gonna cry.
Tears are runnin' from your eyes.
The piece of my life you take
Is one that so often breaks.
Ventura Highway in the sunshine.
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine.
You're gonna go I know.
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair.
And the days surround your daylight there.
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air.
To each his own it's plain to see;
To walk alone you have to be.
It's all for you and all for me, you'll see.
I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will.
No matter who you are, I'll love you still.
For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow.
I just wanted to let you know.
This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by.
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
And ride that highway in the sky.
This is for all the single people
Thinking that love has left them dry.
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
You never know until you try.
Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed.
I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine.
Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise.
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind.
Amber cascades all over today.
Then we walk on a crooked catwalk
Only to be delayed.
Bubbles of blue burst into two
Eaten up by the incoming tide
Of the new.
Then we call to the man who walks on the water.
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view.
It's in view.
Hold me close.
You turn nighttime into day.
And you're the most
Brightest star that lights my way.
So come home to me now.
'Cause it won't matter anyhow.
I've got this feeling that today's the day.
I've got this feeling today's the day.
You can do magic.
You can have anything that you desire.
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire.
You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way.
When you hypnotize with your eyes,
A heart of stone can turn to clay.
