01 Where the earth shows its bones of wind-broken Stone,
and the sea and sky are one,
02 There's God in the trees, I'm weak in the knees,
and the sky is a painful blue.
03 Now the summer city lights will soften the night,
till you think that the air is clear,
04 He's got something to say, but I'm so far away,
that I don't know who I'm talking to,
09 Well, alone in the lights on stage every night,
I've been reaching out to find a friend.
10 Maybe after the show she'll ask me to go home with her
for a drink or two.

01 I'm caught out of time, my blood sings with wine,
and I'm running naked in the sun. >> 2
03 I'm sitting with friends where forty-five cents,
will buy another glass of beer. >> 4
09 Who knows all the words and sings so she's heard,
and knows how all the stories end.

02 I'd like to look around, but honey all I see is you. >> 3
04 'Cause you just walked in the door, and honey all I see is you. >> 5
10 Now her smile lights her eyes, but honey, all I see is you. >> 5
