For Crying Out Loud

I was lost 'til you were found But I never knew how far down I was fallin' 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 A: 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 screamin' 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 won't have to stay And I'm gonna need somebosy to make me feel like you do And I will receive somebosy 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 (3X) 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 ah but you could cry And I never knew just how high I was flying With you right above me :|| A For taking in the rain when I'm feelin' so dry For giving me the answers when I'm asking you why My oh my for that I thank you For takin' in the sun when I'm feelin' so cold For givin' me a child when my body is old Don't you know for that I need you For comin' to my room when you know I'm alone For findin' me a highway and drivin' me home You gotta know for that I serve you For pullin' me away when I'm startin' to fall For revvin' me up when I'm startin' 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 (repeat 3X) When you're crying out loud You know I love you
