Heaven knows a place within my heart
Things I should have told you
Before I fell apart
Hell I got worries on my mind
And I just lie awake at night
Dreaming of you
Lord knows I'm a total failure
Drifting man on the sea
But my sinking ship was just made of paper, anyhow
And your sweet sympathy
Was all that I needed a place to be free
Yea, the love in your eyes
Was all that I needed to stop asking why
Yesterday your circus came to town
And I found myself singing
Singing with a crowd
So I joined the street parade
A trooping cavalcade
and then I saw you
Lordy knows I'm a total failure
Drifting man on the sea
You came along just in time
And healed my mind
And all is forgiven
And your sweet sympathy
Was all that I needed a place to be free
Yea, the love in your eyes
Was all that I needed to stop asking why
