COULD I SIT ALONE AND ASK ABOUT MY FUTURE?
WHEN YOU REPLIED I'D JUST TURN AWAY.
I SEARCHING THROUGH MY BOOKS TO TRY AND FIND SOME TRUTH;
PERHAPS DISGUISE IS A MYSTERIOUS WAY?
AND IF I MADE A PROMISE,
COULD I STAY BY YOUR SIDE?
WOULD YOU GUARANTEE MY SAFETY?
AND SAY THAT I'D BE ALRIGHT?
I'VE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT THE END,
SOMETIMES I DON'T WANT TO WAKE.
IT'S FUNNY HOW DISASTER SEEMS TO JUSTIFY FATE.
I CAN SEE IT ON THE TV
THERE'S AN AIR ATTACK.
PEOPLE ON THE MOUNTAINS,
SCREAMING I'LL BE BACK.
AND I'M BANGING ON YOUR DOOR.
SO COME ON AND LET ME IN.
I NEED A PLACE TO HIDE.
NEED A PLACE TO HIDE BEFORE THE STORM BEGINS.
IF I TOLD YOU ALL THE TIMES WHEN I'D DONE WRONG.
COULD YOU BATHE MY SOUL AND WASH IT ALL AWAY?
I CAN'T FORGIVE THE THINGS THAT I CAN STILL REMEMBER.
SO I THINK MY FRIEND THESE SINS ARE HERE TO STAY.
AND I COULD MAKE A PROMISE.
WITH A TEAR IN MY EYE.
AND ALL THE HOPE IN MY HEART,
BUT ALL THE DOUBT IN MY MIND.
I'VE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT THE END
SOMETIMES I DON'T WANT TO WAKE.
IT'S FUNNY HOW DISASTER SEEMS TO JUSTIFY FATE.
I CAN SEE IT ON THE TV
THERE'S AN AIR ATTACK.
PEOPLE ON THE MOUNTAINS,
SCREAMING I'LL BE BACK.
AND I'M BANGING ON YOUR DOOR.
SO COME ON AND LET ME IN.
I NEED A PLACE TO HIDE.
NEED A PLACE TO HIDE BEFORE THE STORM BEGINS.
