Lyrics
SADDEST SONG
I?ve been keeping moving, trying not to stop
?Cause then I hear the saddest song crying in my heart
The emptiness of living just to be alive
Keepin? my feet moving on the instinct to survive
And sometimes I?m so lonesome that I?d give my world away
Just to find someone who?d hold me ?til it goes away
Jesus, Jesus, I need you
There?s an empty place inside
Where the love has been denied
Roll away the stone and I know I?ll live again
I would never ask a woman to ever be my wife
I wouldn?t want to drag her down in this mess I call my life
But I know I need a lover much closer than a friend
Someone who belongs to me and I belong to them
In the quiet of the evening I can hear a Lover?s plea
?I?m knocking at the door, won?t you open up to me?
Without you here beside me there?s no place to begin
But bring your love inside of me and I?ll give it back again
