My mind ran a race as i searched every place For those dear thing that i've thrown away If the colors would fade to black and white days Then i'd find a safe place to stay I've walked through these streets and i've missed every beat This old city's on (?) So i figured i'd drive north on 75 And look for a sign from above "the world's largest crucifix" the billboard screamed at me But the old rugged cross i sought was nowhere to be seen And bigger's usually better so i know i must believe That the world's largest crucifix saves their dying memory I try to remember that kind of september We all sang about when life was slow Before all the shame and loved one's we've blamed Have ripped out our poor family's soul The world's largest crucifix bring them back to me But the old rugged cross i sought was nowhere to be seen And bigger's usually better so i know i must believe That the world's largest crucifix saves their dying memory --- Little amber bottles when i ask to be alone Little amber bottles when i pray to be back home I thought that i was dreaming when i heard you say goodbye I must have heard you screaming but i couldn't remember why Those clouds are rolling in This heartache's going to win Little amber bottles, let loneliness begin This house is filled with sorrow Each door and board i can recall I wait until tomorrow from inside these padded walls I thought that i was dreaming when i heard you say goodbye I must have heard you screaming but i couldn't remember why I've prayed for days to pass Oh another empty glass Little amber bottles will let me be with you at last Little amber bottles when i ask to be alone Oh little amber bottles when i pray to be back home My mind ran a race as i searched every place For those dear thing that i've thrown away If the colors would fade to black and white days Then i'd find a safe place to stay I've walked through these streets and i've missed every beat This old city's on (?)
