If I could find the heartbeat in this song
I didn't have to doubt, I may be wrong
To think I can predict the coming season
As I lay down awoken now

Summer has been over for some time
I didn't even know it said goodbye
But it has given notes, it’s not a secret
I always sent today away

I'm walking barefoot
With a broken rod
My weak and weary light
A storm put out
And you are coming as
A gift of evening

September gives no days of shining bright
It dies like wind through leaves that never fight
And all the debt of life is on my shoulders
It’s autumn night in all its might

Still day is all around me in a show
With notice to the night I've got to go
My heart well hid in ice but still protected
Like hidden hope of rose in snow

I'm walking barefoot
With a broken rod
My weak and weary light
A storm put out
And you are coming as
A gift of evening

But morning light is reaching to my chin
And I see wings of sunlight take me in
And I do dare to hope like spring in autumn
The hands of cold can’t kill a soul

I'm walking barefoot
With a broken rod
My weak and weary light
A storm put out
You are coming as
A gift of evening

Who’s this someone sitting next to me in this house
With the same kind of cup in his hands like me
Here we are again
Drinking each others lack of confidence
Not realizing we were never meant

Collecting this kind of porcelain for years
It’s all unspoken, well we never had the words
Sweet silence, bitter turned
I’m looking down into my silver spoon
The only mirror that is in this room

The silence keeps us both alive
That’s what we like to think at night
Before we try to close our eyes

Who’s this someone laying next to me at night
With the same kind of shade in his eyes like me
Here we are again
Drinking each others lack of confidence
Not realizing we were never meant
Sweet silence bitter turned
I’m looking down into my silver spoon
The only mirror that is in this room

The silence keeps us both alive
That’s what we like to think at night
Before we try to close our eyes

Sweet silence bitter turned
I’m looking down into my silver spoon
The only mirror that is in this room

I like driving
Darling I like driving

I left my shoe in a closet somewhere
You wonder how I'll walk from here
But there's a way
I got to your hood
In the first place

I left my head in a willow tree
Outside the house you were showing me
That night we met
I remember your face
And the strange taste

You left in my dreams
Where my mind had been
Making excuses
For what it’d seen
But madam X
Didn't leave out the next
Sight she saw
It was a closed door

So I picked up my purse
And the one shoe I had
The rest of the pride
The bank said I had
I picked up the pain
And carried some stains
God it hurt to be barefoot

Darling    
I like driving
Darling I like driving
With the naked boys

But I'd be down on the floor
Wouldn't laugh no more
I wouldn't think a thought
I wouldn't be the cause
Of any ones call
To wipe the floor
For my coming

You made a choice
Well I still got a voice
I do love leaves and the naked boys
I gotta find me a man
With a heart like a van
Cause I like driving

Darling I like driving
With the naked boys
Gonna find me a man with a heart like a van

But I'd be down on the floor
Wouldn't laugh no more
I wouldn't think a thought
I wouldn't be the cause
Of any ones call
To wipe the floor
For my coming

Gonna find me a man with a heart like a van
Cause I like driving

Cry in the arms of a widow
Steal in the arms of a thief
Fight in the arms of a soldier
Pray in the arms of a priest
Hope in the arms of a dreamer
Forget in the arms of the old
Regret in the arms of a sinner
But never give into the cold

Then sleep in the wonder of silence
Innocence always recalls
Under the bed sheets, a naked
Life that has lived after all

Don't long for a breeze while you're waiting
For faces to show in the sun
The miles you have walked are behind you
But there might be still more to come
Don't run for the shade
Or the waters
That lie on that side road you'll find
When doubt has convinced you the jewels
Are those things you wish were undone

Know all the wonders when evening
Comes and you’re sleeping alone
The whisper of angels reminding
There’s always a right in the wrong

Know surrender, in the beating
Heart that you own
Wake in all its known desires
And sleep alone

So when you are lying with angels
Or when you are praised by your love
Know there's a difference at nighttime
When all else around you is gone
If closing the eyelids brings nothing
When longing for heavens to come
Know nothing compares to an angel’s
Embrace and the one you’ve become

Sleep in the wonder of silence
Innocence always recalls
Under the bed sheets, a naked
Life that has lived after all

Know all the wonders when evening
Comes and you’re sleeping alone
The whisper of angels reminding
There’s always a right in the wrong

Know surrender, in the beating
Heart that you own
Wake in all its known desires
But sleep alone

Sunlight shines
Gentle away
Cause daytime can show
What nobody knows
You still care for him
And want him to stay


He’s sleeping beside you now
Finally you touch
Gently and enough
Fingers run through his hair
You’re taking everything
And store it far within
This is the life of an innocent thief at night


He can’t turn back time
And have it undone
And you can’t say
He’s forgiven anyway
You still care for him
Want him to stay


It’s dark and love is everywhere
(You steal a kiss he’ll never miss)
It’s dark and he’s still here
You know you still care


He’s sleeping beside you now
Finally you touch
Gently and enough
Fingers run through his hair
You’re taking everything
And store it far within
This is the life of an innocent thief at night
