Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I'd walk the water to get back to you And where I was complete We found you scattered by the highway side Too soon to be released Gathered the pieces up and clean the places Where you were undone And washed the wreckage out, unfinished all the Thoughts that we'd begun I came to burn the sky And tear away the beauty that it sows If I could rape the day and find the things I thought I'd always known Leave it alone again tonight Leave it alone again tonight Leave it alone again tonight I laid your arms out long untwisted there And shaped what I could find Unmade the most of it then left the rest The parts unrecognized My reconstruction was the only way For one last look at you I lost the sense of it The absolution what we never knew Leave it alone again tonight Leave it alone again tonight And it takes me back From this place here From this place here I came to burn the sky And tear away the beauty that it sows If I could rape the day and find the things I thought I'd always known Leave it alone again tonight Leave it alone again tonight Leave it alone again tonight Leave it alone again And it takes me back From this place here From this place here It takes me over I'd be lost In this place here In this place here It takes me on Tonight leave it alone Tonight leave it alone Tonight leave it alone Tonight leave it alone
