For Crying Out Loud

I was lost till you were found

But I never know 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 now the chilly California wind

Is blowing down our bodies again

And we`re sinking deeper and deeper

In 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

Ah, with you right above me

And now the chilly California wind

Is blowing down our bodies again

And we`re sinking deeper and deeper

In 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 eh 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 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 feel 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, for driving me home

And you got to 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

Ah, but most of all

For crying out loud

For that

I love you

Ah, but most of all

For crying out loud

For that

I love you

Ah, but most of all

For crying out loud

For that

I love you

When you`re crying out loud

You know

I love you
