For Crying Out Loud

I was lost till you were found

And I never knew how far down

I was falling

Before I reached the bottom

I was cold and you were fire

And I never knew how the pyre

Could be burning

On the edge of the ice field

And now the chilly Californian wind

Is blowing down our bodies again

And we're sinking deeper and deeper

In the chilly Californian sand

Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart

And can't you see my faded Levis bursting apart

And don't you hear me crying

"Oh Babe, don't go"

And don't you hear me screaming

"How was I to know?"

I'm in the middle of nowhere

Near the end of the line

But there's a border to somewhere waiting

And there's a tankful of time

Oh give me just another moment

To see the light of the day

And take me to another land

Where I don't have to stay

And I'm gonna need somebody

To make me feel like you do

And I will receive somebody

With open arms, open eyes

Open up the sky and let the planet

That I love shine through

For crying out loud

You know I love you

For crying out loud

You know I love you

For crying out loud

You know I love you

I was damned and you were saved

And I never knew how enslaved

I was kneeling

In the chains of my master

I could laugh but you could cry

And I never knew just how high

I was flying

Oh with you right above me

And now the chilly Californian wind

Is blowing down our bodies again

And we're sinking deeper and deeper

In the chilly Californian sand

Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart

And can't you see my faded Levis bursting apart

And don't you hear me crying

"'Oh Babe, don't go"

And don't you hear me screaming

"How was I to know?"

I'm in the middle of nowhere

Near the end of the line

But there's a border to somewhere waiting

And there's a tankful of time

Oh give me just another moment

To see the light of the day

And take me to another land

Where I don't have to stay

And I'm gonna need somebody

To make me feel like you do

And I will receive somebody

With open arms, open eyes

Open up the sky and let the planet

That I love shine through

For crying out loud

You know I love you

For crying out loud

You know I love you

For crying out loud

You know I love you

For crying out loud

You know I love you

For coming to my room when you know I'm alone

For finding me a highway and for driving me home

And you gotta know, for that I serve you

For pulling me away when I'm starting to fall

For revving me up when I'm starting to stall

And all in all for that I want you

For crying out loud

For that I love you

When you're crying out loud

You know I love you
