Bringing Me Back to Life

I can hear the grass that's growing

See the movies that are showing

Hear the church bells down the road

They're playing a song for me

I can wind my watch each morning

Try to face each day that's dawning

Under my umbrella sky

Walking through clouds of gray

I can turn off all the music

Living in my secret smile

While my mind is going wild

Trying to search my soul

I can always buy a present

For no one that I know

I can always cook some dinner

Got no place to go

Oh mama, will you stand by me

Wind is blowing

Through the crooked trees

I need laughter

I need music

I need some one

Taking me home

And bringing me back to life

I need sunshine, yeah, yeah

Pretty faces, yeah, yeah

In the moonlight

Bringing me back to life

There's a crazy roller coaster

That is screaming in the wind

Take a breath before it drops

Gotta hold on so tight

When the story gets so tired

And the pen runs out of ink

There's another piece of paper

Giving a silent wink

There's a noisy speeding subway

Coming down the track

Don't you know I got to ride it

But will it take me back?

I can hear a choir of angels

Singing in my ear

Chances are that I won't hear it

Through all the things I fear

Oh mama, will you stand by me

Wind is blowing

Through the crooked trees

I need laughter

I need music

I need some one

Taking me home

Bringing me back to life

I need sunshine, yeah, yeah

Pretty faces, yeah, yeah

In the moonlight

Bringing me back to life

There's a whiskey staring at me

What's the harm in just a sip?

Can I find it in a bottle?

I can't go on like this

What's the secret sweet sensation

That will bring me peace of mind?

I keep searching all around

Why am I going blind?

I need laughter

I need music

I need some one

Taking me home

Bringing me back to life

I need sunshine, yeah, yeah

Pretty faces, yeah, yeah

In the moonlight

Bringing me back to life
