You can only have the sunshine after the rain


With progress comes problems
With wisdom comes age
With lessons come learning
And pleasure comes with pain

I took a walk
It got me thinking
Left foot, right foot
Smiling, blinking
Breathe out, breathe in
Somehow linking

My soul to my mind and my heart to my mouth
Lost and the found and the north to the south
And the corners to the circle in my mind

We may find that the gate has been locked
When we come back down to what we really are
Retrace the footprints off the path that is lost
It’s like trying to find a needle in the dark

I know some have fallen On stony ground But Love is all around

Give me endless summer
Lord I fear the cold
Feel I’m getting old
Before my time

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I’m doing all I can
To be a better man

Go easy on my conscience
‘Cause it’s not my fault
I know I’ve been taught
To take the blame

Rest assured my angels
Will catch my tears
Walk me out of here
I’m in pain

Go gentle through your life

You’re gonna meet some strangers
Welcome to the zoo
Bitter disappointments
Except for one or two

Some of them are angry
Some of them are mean
Most of them are twisted
Few of them are clean

Don’t try to make them love you
Don’t answer every call
Baby be a giant
Let the world be small

Now when you go giving your heart
make sure they deserve it
If they haven’t earned it
Keep searching it’s worth it

And in feeling I think of you And in breathing I think of you

Night is falling
I think of you
I’m walking home
I think of you
And as he calls me, yes I do
I think of you
How you doing?
I think of you
As we leave
I think of you
And I smile, I can’t hide
I think of you

I don’t know where your days are spent
Your lovers and your friends
But I know for sure
Of who you have been thinking

Far beyond the city’s lights
Are two who dream a life
Forgive them if they never find their freedom
Their freedom

It’s so late
I think of you
He walks me home
I think of you
I’m so sorry, I’m so tired
I think of you
And in the shadows
I think of you
I close my eyes
I think of you
Now I’m falling
I think of you
