My place is of the sun
and this place is of the dark
And I do not feel the romance
I do not catch the spark
My place is of the sun and
this place is of the dark
And I do not feel the romance I do
not catch the spark
I don't know when I noticed life was
life at my expense
The words of my heart lined up like
prisoners on a fence
The dreams came in like needy
children tugging at my sleeve
I said I have no way of feeding you,
so leave
But there was a time I asked
my father for a dollar
And he gave it a ten dollar raise
And when I needed my
mother and I called her
She stayed with me for
days
Now someones on the telephone,
desperate in his pain
Someones on the bathroom floor
doing her cocaine
Someones got his finger on
the button in some room
No one can convince me we
aren't gluttons for our doom
But I tried to make this
place my place
I asked for providence to smile upon
me with his sweet face
Yeah but Ill tell you
My place is of the sun and
this place is of the dark
And I do not feel the romance
I do not catch the spark
My place is of the sun and this
place is of the dark
(By grace, my sight grows stronger)
And I do not feel the romance
I will not be
(And I will not be a pawn for the prince of dark
ness any longer)
Maybe there's no haven in this world
for tender age
My heart beat like the wings
of wild birds in a cage
My greatest hope my greatest
cause to grieve
And my heart flew from its cage
and it bled upon my sleeve
Oh the cries of passion were like
wounds that needed healing
I couldn't hear them for the thunder
I was half the naked distance
between hell and heavens ceiling
And he almost pulled me under
Now someones on the telephone,
desperate in his pain
Someones on the bathroom
floor doing her cocaine
Someones got his finger on
the button in some room
No one can convince me we aren't
gluttons for our doom
But I tried to make this
place my place
I asked for providence to smile
upon me with his sweet face
But Ill tell you
My place is of the sun and
this place is of the dark
And I do not feel the romance
I do not catch the spark
My place is of the sun and this
place is of the dark
(By grace, my sight grows stronger)
And I do not feel the romance I do not
catch the spark
(Grows stronger)
By grace
(My place is of the sun)
My sight
(And this place is of the dark)
Is growing stronger
(I do not feel the romance)
I will not be a pawn
(I will not be)
For the prince of darkness
any longer
