lyrics

I know what it's like
But the sun don't shine 'less it shines on you
And I know what I said
But my heart can't beat unless your beats too
Can't stand life away from you
Can't stand life away from you
It's the simple truth

And I see in your eyes
There's a great dark night filling up your head
And a fear in my bones
Of that big old house with an empty bed
Guess that life isn't what they said
Guess that life isn't what they said
I'm made of lead

And I need you with me to go on living
And I know I'm selfish but it's true
My heart doesn't beat, but it breaks in two
And I dream of the Phoenix when I dream of you
Oh yes I do

Clipped the wings, locked the cage,
Broke the golden bird and called it blessed
But the world's only bright
While that fragile life flutters in your breast
Don't claim your eternal rest
Please don't claim your eternal rest

Cause I need you with me to go on living
And I know it's selfish but it's true
My heart doesn't beat but it breaks in two
And I dream of the Phoenix when I dream of you
Yes I do

Who dares say the sun doesn't shine
My heart, well it breaks and it binds
I live my whole life in your smile
Lay me down by the road for a while
And I can see the sky for miles
