The angels wait in heaven Demons down below Nothing's really sacred Come to know There's an hour for laughter There's an hour to cry There's a lot of gray for who, what, why All I know is when you love somebody You don't leave 'em in the cold You give time, space to face The days of growing old You can walk the whole wide world over And only hear one voice When you love somebody It doesn't leave you much choice One drink for old times One drink for news Another drink to cover up the bruise Night sky is littered Daylight is trashed We're breathing in the black smoke where we crashed All I know is when you love somebody You don't leave 'em in the cold You give time, space to face The days of growing old You can walk the whole wide world over And only hear one voice When you love somebody It doesn't leave you much choice All in a day Call it a day My mother's in the back yard Father's in his chair I'm playing in the gutter Growing out my hair City light is pretty The food is just on par There's a wish adorning every star All I know is when you love somebody You don't leave 'em in the cold You give time, leave space to face The days of growing old You can walk the whole wide world over And only hear one voice When you love somebody It doesn't leave you much choice

The whole sky could come down And turn right around To take the place of the ground Cities will end But you'll still have a friend As long as you're close to me Buildings will crumble Our words begin to fumble As we sit, watching it all But you don't need a word For you to be heard As long as you're close to me As long as you're close to me There's nothing you need to try and be You be the sun And I'll be what follows As long as you're close to me The highway could split And open a pit Send the cars rolling down below My brakes could give out But I'll have no doubt As long as you're close to me As long as you're close to me There's nothing you need to try and be You be the sun And I'll be what follows As long as you're close to me They always want more than they will ask for You can see the intent in their eyes You end up in the part you were cast for The sad part is heaven was just down the road a mile As long as you're close to me There is nothing else I need to see You be the flame I'll be your sinner As long as you're close to me You be the sun And I'll be what follows As long as you're close to me
