Three days on the road to anywhere Did I hear you call And in the average hello You lost your way Did I hear you fall Cut down from behind at best A simple word that lingered in the air Somewhere you wandered off into the night And broke all your promises there I'm a flood, I'm a waterfall Never to disappear in the sea Bless my head I think I said With a reason to believe that a voice again And though the words keep falling to the ground They make no sound until you're gone And then they scream Sleep tonight this pain I'll never feel Sleep tonight in here it's not so real Sleep tonight this flame will touch much soul Sleep tonight this flame will never go away Pardon me if I seem a little distant You could always read my eyes I guess it doesn't take the wisdom of the ages Or a crystal ball to see this disguise
