Looking out my window
An angel in robes appeared
and nearly pulled me apart
A million miles of
freedom a million
miles of road
But I still don't
know where to start
She wrote her number down
And she gave it to me
They had to scrape
me off the floor
In this transient town
waiters and dealers
Trying to get their
foot in the door
That night I called
her and she said
"Daddy daddy daddy
all my life
I've been trying to
find my place
in the world"
And I said to her
"Baby baby babe I got
all night to listen to
the heart of a girl"
I can see the time
dripping down the clock
We've been trying to
hear that ancient refrain
It's the one that knows
just when our heads are
down And reminds us of
the place from where
we came
Where we came
"Daddy daddy daddy
all my life
I've been trying to
find my place
in this world"
And I said to her
"Baby baby babe I got
all night to listen to
the heart of a girl"
What happened here
what is this world?
It's too far from
the heart of a girl
A ripple in the water
From the drop of a pearl
I'm on the shore waiting
For the heart of a girl
Many doors
knock on one
Standing still
time is raging
Staring down the mouth
of a hundred thousand guns
And you're still here
you're still here
I believe that we never
have to be alone
Yes I believe it's
just around the bend
You can hold it in
Or you can scream
it on a microphone
There is no end
(there is no end)
There is no end
Deep in the night
I feel the presence
Of something that
was long ago told to me
There is a hand
guiding the river
The river to wide open sea
And deep in my heart
in any gain
On any mountain
no I'm not afraid
Standing on stone
you stand beside me
And honor the
plans that were made
