tonight I lost my best friend ever save me
my hilly home find a way out of here
water you get back what you get back

tonight I lost my best friend ever [spoken]
tonight I lost my best friend ever
the best friend I ever had
together we cried rivers sometimes
we smiled mountains instead

turn away from the crowd
it's fruitless pursuit of fame and gold
never look back as you close your door
to the tumult of greed and ambition

wipe away your tears of failure
lay aside your heavy load and rest
until your heart is still

be at peace

already it is later than you think
for your earthly life, at best
is only the blink of an eye
between two eternities

be unafraid

nothing here can harm you exept yourself
concentrate your energy

save me [spoken]
this life is far past my concern
you're right that I've got a lot to learn
every chance seems to be sold out
I fold my hands and kneel on the ground

try to save me
try to stay away from this world today
that breaks me
try to save me
try to get away stop to lie and obey
still be free

this life is wrong I'm sure I'm right
to tell you the truth that's a holy sign
open up your heart and open up your mind
pull yourself together jump overthe line

try to save me ...

my hilly home [spoken]
I come down from my hilly home
to meet her down in the valley of bones
there's no second time to reconcile
there's no second time to reconcile
I feel the rain in my misty eyes
when a bird flies into my hilly home
to the valley of bones where she's gone
well she's gone
I finally found out what i miss
when I really got into this
into my hilly home
into my hilly home

there's no second time to reconcile
there's no second time to make it right oh no
the last trick in this show
before the curtain falls down
at the end of the road
I see a sign that says home
it's the valley of bones
far from my hilly home
when the sky's wide open the air is clear
she's so near I have to fear nothing
into my hilly home
into my hilly home

find a way out of here [spoken]
my souls for hire
with my eyes I seek fire
I have come to bring you misery

far out beyond the threshold
I stand black boots black coat
into my head there's a well producing sinistry

oh I can't find a way out of here
to the place of my dreaming

into my dreaming
open gates I am leaving
I am locked into a cage of fears

and deep down in me
I've got that space for thee
and for everyone there's a tender need

oh I can't find a way out of here
to the place of my dreaming

water [spoken]
how can you maintain
you turn silver into gold
how did you get so tough
and so well balanced

deep inside of you
runs a river so blue
cold and lovely water
through my heart

let it down on me
wash my body and soul
let me swim into your love

here we are again
my own addicted mind
I got stuck on you
kiss me deeply

let it down on me
wash my body and soul
let me swim into your love

you get back what you get back [spoken]
say goodbye but can't let go
to my heart and whining soul
now the story has been told
and the plans that have been sold

all the flowers I can tell
and the beauty in the air
and you say it isn't fair
throwing back your brown hair

did you ever notice that
you get back what you get back

did you ever notice that
you get back what you get back
