Verse 1

When you looked at me with eyes made of fire

I never had a chance my heart was gone

When you found me there my soul was dying

Love is blind, well I say love is wrong

Verse 2

You needed someone in the hole that you've been makin'

I needed a place to hide, a place in your heart

With your hand in mine, we left hell, bound for heaven

I promised I'd pull down a star

Chorus

It never occurred to me that god and devil could agree to stand against a sinner's love

I guess I must be blind years are gone and still I try to to find where we went wrong

Verse 3

Every morning when the sun came shining

I'd pick up the telephone and talk to you

Every evening when the stars were gliding

Telling lies and hoping they'd come true

Verse 4

One night I had a dream that everything I wanted

10,000 angels came and laid it at your door

And when I turned around you were somewhere hiding

Thinking you would die for something more

Bridge

Oh mister won't you help me lay right down and die

Or find someone to tell me where she's gone and why

Solo

Verse 5

I guess we both agree that someone wasn't changing

You take the road ahead and I'll keep holding on

I guess it's a crazy dream but every night I'm thinkin'

Thinkin' you'll be there when I get home

Verse 6

I tried to call you but I never got an answer

I tried to write you but I never found the words

And when I got downtown and try to find another

I see your face on every girl
