lyrics

Baby I'll be your angel you just tell me on which shoulder
I'll keep you safe from danger, this world couldn't get any colder
So close to being strangers, the truth is we're just getting older and older
I'll be back before you know it, was the last thing that I told her
And I want your skin confined by my own two hands
There still might be some sin within them,
But I've seen who've you forgiven
Don't you forget that now.
If anything thank you for helping me catch my breath
These scars & calloused hands are all that I have left.

Out here in the desert the days they're getting shorter & shorter
And I can feel it getting a little bit colder & colder
A thousand miles is too far to hold her
Well I could up & leave myself
But could somebody please tell me what is the hold up?

Don't you get the hint? Don't you get the hint?
Or do I need to spell it out?
You're all that I think about
You're all I ever write about
You are all I sing about.
And I keep on wondering & waiting & wishing
When you'll be comin around, come, comin' around...
But who am I joking...?
You never came around.

Out here in the desert the days they're getting shorter & shorter
And I can feel it getting a little bit colder & colder
A thousand miles is too far to hold her
Well I could up & leave myself
But could somebody please tell me what is the hold up?

The rain, the rain, the rain oh you know it was coming down, it was comin' down.
Oh the rain, the rain, do you feel it, it was comin down, yes it was comin' down,
Don't you remember the rain? Yes it was coming down,
Don't you remember the rain? Yes it was coming down.

And I could watch you watching me smokin' my last cigarette,
In your eyes, I could tell that you're still just a little bit scared
That's all right, cause we've already been there,
Yes that's all right, if you're still a little bit scared

Out here in the desert the days they're getting shorter & shorter
And I can feel it getting a little bit colder & colder
A thousand miles is too far to hold her
Well I could up & leave myself
But could somebody please tell me what is the hold up?
