For Crying Out Loud

I was lost till you were found

But 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 the now chilly California wind

Is blowing down our bodies again

And we're sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly California 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

Ah, with you right above me

And the now chilly California wind

Is blowing down our bodies again

And we're sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly California 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 your

For crying out loud

You know I love you

For crying out loud

You know I love you

For taking in the rain when I'm feeling so dry

For giving me the answers when I'm asking you why

And my oh my

For that I thank you

For taking in the sun when I'm feeling so cold

For giving me a child when my body is old

And don't you know

For that I need you

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

For finding me a highway and 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 taking and for giving and for playing the game

For praying for my future in the days that remain

Oh Lord

For that I hold you

Ah but most of all

For cryin' out loud

For that I love you

Ah but most of all

For cryin' out loud

For that I love you

Ah but most of all

For cryin' out loud

For that I love you

When you're crying out loud

You know I love you
