For Crying Out Loud (Steinman Jim)

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
