Standard (EADGBE)
So many miles through desert sage,
So many mistakes Ive made
I stop for shade and see her wave
A face thats hard and lined, With stories, roads, and time
But her eyes shine Into mine
In another time with a different start, Where the heavens part we shared a
he--art.
She never spoke a word, but in my mind I heard all she endured
Chorus
You are not the only one whose lost
Yours is not the only heart feels pain
Weve walked together on countless rainy nights
Restless and wandering in the rain
Restless and wandering again
For a hundred miles or more, I saw the smile she wore
Like an open door, To a distant shore
When I stopped again to rest, With a beating chest
Ive tried my best, To find a test
I saw another man, Beside a garbage can
His stained hands, Like mottled sand
And as he looked at me, So calm and carefully
My eyes could see, and he said (To CHORUS)
Now everyone I meet, on every forgotten street
I feel their hearts beat, with noble heat
The countless times theyve tried, the tears of rage they cried.
The love thats died, deep inside
We all are heaven bound, this is our proving ground
The life chose, when the wheel came round. I believe in eternity and chosen
destiny, And Ill help you if you help me.
(To CHORUS)
