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

When You Were Mine

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
