Came to a land where the morning don't wait for the break of day

And the nighttime comes as a surprise

Picked myself up, took myself far far away

Far away from a big hearted man who looks into my eyes and says

Won't you take this love from me

Don't you leave it here filling up my hands

Won't you just take it along with you

Won't you let it just remind you where you stand

Don't you ever want to know just where you stand

Don't you really want to know

But I got something in me that keeps me on the go

It keeps me going going, keeps me gone

And I got something in me that keeps me on an unfamiliar street

Running up to strangers, tugging at their coat and saying

Won't you break this heart for me

Don't you leave it here smooth and shiny filling up my throat

Won't you just make a little crack for me

So maybe something could get in

Or something could get out

If something could get in maybe something could get out

I guess we're all the same, we walk our days looking for a little more fire

And we all sometimes have to sit on our hands

We try to hold ourselves together

We try to talk about the weather

When all we really want to do is take each other by the throat and say

Won't you dream my dream with me

Don't you leave it here drying on my pillow

Won't you just soak a little up for me

Won't you give it just a safe place to go

It just needs a little safe place to go
