Long nights journey to day The price I must pay For loving you, babe  
 Stumbling around in the dark I'm falling apart Still chained to your heart 
 For you have left me high and dry When you walked out on me But who said love is blind Still I cry Friendship closes its eyes 
 So I go with the flow The bottle runs low Where does the time go? 
 Midday drinking again Hello my old friend Till we meet again 
 Oh and though I pray in vain You'll return When I think about you Lonely teardrops fall For I know Who's to blame 
 Long nights journey to day The price I must pay For loving you, babe 
 And if I should forget I love you to death I'll run out of breath 
 Oh but how can I go on Without you here Laying down beside me And where did we go wrong Oh, I fear Please forgive me 
 Oh and how can I explain All this pain I can't explain a thing 
 Baby please believe What you mean to me Everything Long nights journey to day The price I must pay For loving you Baby

Born to sing, born to roll the dice Born to set sail on an ocean of sacrifice For more sweet life  
 Sitting in my old bed ruminating but it ain’t a crime Thinking ‘bout the future but I wish I was back in time When you were mine  
 Oh baby I'm crying And the feeling in my heart is strange since you went away it don't feel the same Got a limping gait, got a walking cane 
 Now I'm living in the city like a stranger that no one sees Trying to keep my head above the trouble that comes in three's Poor, poor pitiful me 
 Do you remember? When everybody played along till the game got done, till the loot was won But it ain’t over till the song is sung So baby let me roll the dice, let me pay the price for this sacrifice And if you won’t play fair girl I won’t play nice 
 When the sun came up the streets were as cold as ice And I filled my cup with a warm tear from my eye As you passed by Just thinking about when you were mine

Drifitng too far from shore  Drifting too far from shore  Well she jumped ship and she left me I never seen her face no more Drifitng too far from shore I'm bored when I'm sober, I'm bored when I'm high I'm bored with all this boredom, bored with reasons why Everything lately bores me, I guess baby I'm a bore Drifting too far from shore I had myself a lover, I loved her thru and thru But I looked that gifthorse in the mouth and I turned it all to glue Started seeing shadows, doubting everything I saw Drifting too far from shore I've lost that spark of passion I always used to have Don't know where it's gone to or if it's ever coming back Can't find no direction, tell me what's the reason for Drifting too far from shore Everyday it seems like I'm losing ground, you know I'm losing touch I tell myself to try to care, maybe I try too much Well she gave me all she had to give, baby everything and more But I was drifting too far from shore Now a fog is rolling in, thicker than the night I'm bobbing on a blackness out of range and out of sight Feel such alienation I've never felt before Drifting too far from shore
