For Crying Out Loud

I was lost till you were found

But I never knew how far down

I was falling

Before I reached the bottom

I was cold and you were fire

And I never knew how the pyre

Could be burning

On the edge of the icefield

And now the chilly California wind

Is blowing down our bodies again

And weґre sinking deeper and deeper in the chilly California sand

Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart

And canґt you see my faded Leviґs

Bursting apart

And donґt you hear me crying:

"Oh Babe, donґt go"

And donґt you hear me screaming:

"How was I to know?"

Iґm in the middle of nowhere

Near the end of the line

But thereґs a border to somewhere waiting

And thereґs a tank full of time

Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day

And take me to another land where I donґt have to stay

And Iґm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do

And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,

Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through

For crying out loud

You know I love you

For crying out loud

You know I love you

For crying out loud

You know I love you

I was damned and you were saved

And I never knew how enslaved

I was kneeling

In the chains of my master

I could laugh oh but you could cry

And I never knew just how high

I was flying

Oh, with you right above me

And now the chilly California wind

Oh is blowing down our bodies again

And weґre sinking deeper and deeper in the chilly California sand

Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart

And canґt you see my faded Leviґs

Bursting apart

And donґt you hear me crying:

"Oh Babe, donґt go"

And donґt you hear me screaming:

"Oh how was I to know?"

Iґm in the middle of nowhere

Near the end of the line

But thereґs a border to somewhere waiting

And thereґs a tank full of time

Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day

And take me to another land where I donґt have to stay

And Iґm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do

And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,

Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through

For crying out loud

You know I love you

Oh or crying out loud

You know I love you

Oh for crying out loud

You know I love you

Ohhh for crying out loud

You know I love you

For taking in the rain when Iґm feeling so dry

For giving me the answers when Iґm asking you why

And my oh my

For that I thank you

For taking in the sun when Iґm feeling so cold

For giving me a child when my body is old

And donґt you know

For that I need you

For coming to my room when you know Iґm alone

For finding me a highway and for driving me home

And you gotta knowFor that I serve you

For pulling me away when Iґm starting to fall

For revving me up when Iґm starting to stall

And all in all

For that I want you

For taking and for giving and for playing the game

For prying for my future in the days that remain

Ohh LordFor that I hold you

Ah but most of all

For crying out loudFor that I love you

Ah but most of all

For crying out loudFor that I love you

When youґre crying out loud

You know I love you
