Lyrics

She can?t take this from inside me,
She can only light the pyre.
Without her empty hand to guide me,
I feel I?m walking on a wire.
Cause she makes it look so easy,
Through the long part of the day.

It?s been a long time, coming down lately.
I used every trick I possibly can.
When will your heart ache?
And when will your clouds break?
And tell you, that I?m your man.

You sail your ship to this port once too often.
You beat your heart against the shore.
And though she never speaks,
You see her eyes wander.
And her arms, reaching out for more.
You can?t fight the tide,
You can?t come to rest now,
In this star crossed town.
Looking for easy love, and riches and tomorrows,
That never, never, never come around.

It?s been a long time, coming down lately.
I used every trick I possibly can.
When will your heart ache?
And when will your clouds break?
And tell you, that I?m your man, your man.

I wake up in this circus,
To the roar of a crowd.
And when they pull the net from under me,
I feel the lights of the big top,
Have finally come around.

So you find yourself walking.
Shaken to the core of all you hold as true.
And when talking feels like so much of nothing.
But sometimes, it?s all you can do.
