should have told her more i loved her
i should have spent more time at home
i thought id be just fine without her
but the fact is now shes gone
i should have listened to my concience
when it said dont let her go
and if shes wondering how im doing
well i think she aught to know
chours:
that i find myself praying
more than i ever did before
and i find my heart is breaking
each time her memory slams the door
and i find my self crying
and trying to hold on
cause there aint nothing short of dieng
thats worse than being left alone
i thought id be just fine without her
id be happy a free man
but the hurting side of lonesome
is what i didnt understand
and the lessons that im learnin'
lord im learning all to well
the nights i used to spend in heaven
have been replaced by nights of hell
(reapeat chours)
lord there aint nothin short of dieng
thats worse than being left alone(Anderson/Squire)
I see the cold mist in the night
And watch the hills roll out of sight.
I watch in ev'ry single way,
Inside out, outside in, ev'ry day.
The sun can warm the coldest dawn
And move the movement on the lawn.
I learn in ev'ry single day,
Inside out, outside in, ev'ry way.
And there you are,
Making it up but you're sure that it is a star,
And boy you'll see
It's an illusion shining down in front of me,
And then you'll say
Even in time we shall control the day,
When what you'll see
Deep inside the day's controlling you and me.
And one peculiar point I see,
As one of many ones of me.
As truth is gathered, I rearrange,
Inside out, outside in, inside out, outside in,
Perpetual change.
And there you are,
Saying we have the moon, so now the stars,
When all you see
Is near disaster gazing down on you and me,
And there you're standing,
Saying we have the whole world in our hands,
When all you'll see,
Deep inside the world's controlling you and me.
You'll see perpetual change.
You'll see perpetual change.
And there you are,
Making it up but you're sure that it is a star,
And boy you'll see
It's an illusion shining down in front of me,
And then you'll say
Even in time we shall control the day,
When what you'll see
Deep inside the day's controlling you and me.
As mist and sun are both the same,
We look on as pawns of their game.
They move to testify the day,
Inside out, outside in, inside out, outside in,
All of the way.
Ah, Ah.
