Quit

Dreams again
I finally gave up the distance last night
Took the train for the first time on Monday
I walked the windy streets
And wondered what I did
To have you beside me

I?m throwing aside Heaven
And I?m embracing sin
And you couldn?t sell me otherwise
So, don?t tell me to quit

So, blow smoke in my direction
Let the wind carry us someplace clean
Tie down what you can?t hold onto
?Cause before you
Everything I wasn?t
Was all I wanted to be

I?m throwing aside Heaven
And I?m embracing sin
And you couldn?t sell me otherwise
So, don?t tell me to quit

Treat me gently
Hold me sacred in you palm
And always remember that there?s ash
Before the rising can come
I?ll paint you full of color
?Cause this can?t be explained,
Diagramed, relegated,
To philosophy or reason

I?m throwing aside Heaven
And I?m embracing sin
And you couldn?t sell me otherwise
So, don?t tell me to quit
?Cause only beside you
Have I found
Resolution without a sound

Dreams again
I finally gave up the distance last night
