On my feet are two big weights with strings that hold them in their place and bits that change from day to day and hands that fall around wave to you And in my hands are two red hearts that beat and beat and never stop it bursts right out and fills my cup with loving words and thoughtless drops of you I cry at night for what we had I pray that you might want me back I spend my time wasting words with collared friends and countless verse I watch you as you change your mind and throw all that we have behind the face that lulls me off to sleep a part of you I'll always keep behind tired eyes I cry at night for what we had I pray that you might want me back I spend my time wasting words with collared friends and countless verse

Testify 03:48
I'm a flame in a candlelit room I'd give my hands to hold you and I won't close my eyes and I won't close my eyes And the floors they rise and fall through the open doors and in this house of cards the moments come and pass and I won't close my eyes again And in the quiet you can hear the call of those who've lost their heart and soul and break the bones of men with all their good intent and I won't close my eyes and I won't close my eyes and I won't close my eyes again And I know, oh I know, this is where strength shows it's golden face once again knowing how and when to lend a hand and I would give my lungs and I would come undone and I won't compromise and I will testify and I won't close my eyes and I won't close my eyes and I won't close my eyes and I won't close my eyes, again

You told me that you wanted to take some time and wait but love to me shouldn't have to hesitate but if that's what you need I'll stay and keep the fire alight and let the good lord love me and rock me through the night But what use if your word if your word is weak? What good are promises you don't intend to keep? Should I stay or should I go, tell me now how should I know what's on your mind Should I try to understand if I don't know if I can, although I try The candlelight was burning the night you turned and said our love was one worth fighting for but I fear it might be dead so in the grave we'll lay it, six feet underground and say our final prayers, and leave without a sound But what use if your word if your word is weak? What good are promises you don't intend to keep? Should I stay or should I go, tell me now how should I know what's on your mind Should I try to understand if I don't know if I can, although I try

Darling, darling, I've been told Darling, darling, you're so bold Some will leave you wondering some will leave you asking what you know, what you know too much time pondering and not enough time doing what you know, what you know Lights, lights, in your eyes Lights, lights, my demise Too much time questioning and not enough time doing what you know, what you know And if you had your time again, you'd spend you life doing what you know, what you know Tonight we'll change your mind we bite, we own, we thrive don't live a life denied tonight we'll change your mind Some will leave you wondering some will leave you asking what you know, what you know too much time pondering and not enough time doing what you know, what you know

Eadie 05:19
By the river there lived a young mother with five young sons to her name She thought he was the good sort of man At what point did living become slowly dying and when did we all grow so old Skeptical eyes are so cold The eldest enlisted the moment he could and was gone like a shot from a gun and then all her boys well they grew into men and they left to live their lives filled with laughter and children and wives, Eadie Oh dry your eyes dear, Eadie don't you cry please Dry your eyes dear dry Oh dry your eyes dear, Eadie don't you cry please Dry your eyes dear dry, dry your eyes dear dry And in that old home she was left all alone with the books that sat on the shelves got fired from her j ob 'cos her hearing was shot now she waits for Christmas to come 'cos that's when the grandchildren show dust the books there all standing in rows, Eadie Oh dry your eyes dear, Eadie don't you cry please Dry your eyes dear dry Oh dry your eyes dear, Eadie don't you cry please Dry your eyes dear dry, dry your eyes dear dry Now the summers' they grow hotter by the year you can feel your blood begin to boil As she stands from her chair, she falls to the ground and nobody knows she's gone 'til she's found a month later on, Eadie Eadie, Eadie, Eadie Oh dry your eyes dear, Eadie don't you cry please Dry your eyes dear dry Oh dry your eyes dear, Eadie don't you cry please Dry your eyes dear dry, dry your eyes dear dry
