I owe my heart to you and that's sayin' it true
We all wear the same thorny crown
That keep us so tightly bound
I heard the deafening noise, I felt transient joys
More frailer than the flowers, these precious hours
In this earthly domain, full of disappointment and pain
Far down the street we stray
We live and we die, we know not why
O'er the road we're bound to go
Tomorrow keeps turnin' around
Well, the moon gives light and it shines by night
When I scarcely feel the glow
Through the darkness on the pathways of life
The midnight rain follows the train
Things I never meant nor wished to say
We eat and we drink, we feel and we think
We learn to live and then we forgive
You come to my eyes like a vision from the skies
I know they're not what they seem
Soul to soul, our shadows roll
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down
Each invisible prayer is like a cloud in the air
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down
My bewilderin' brain, toils in vain
But I'll be with you when the deal goes down
Well, I picked up a rose and it poked through my clothes
You'll never see me frown
I followed that winding stream
I laugh and I cry, and I'm haunted by
