2) I’m staring straight into the night
Feeling more wrong than right
Same old questions in my head
(I) Just want to be in my own bed

Bridge 1)
Can’t wish on a star
I can’t even see the sky
It’s hard to believe that this rainy night
Might be over by and by..

3) Plastic key, unlock the door
I’ve seen way too many more
Like this room I’m standing in
Will We Ever love again?

4) I’d gladly fall under your spell
Kiss those lips I know so well
If I only had you near
You can make the darkness disappear

Bridge 2)
Now, the times we’ve shared seem long ago and far away
Right now it’s you, and only you
On my mind night and day

5) I want to feel you breathe on me
Hold you tight, and then I’ll be
As close to Heaven as I’ve been
Will We Ever love again?

Familiar shadows remain
But they are all that’s unchanged
Because this whole street seems haunted now
And the atmosphere is still and strange

Chorus 1)
We didn’t worry about much
We never had a spare dime
This is Where Home Used to Be
In a different time
I know it’s hard to believe
So much has turned to dust
But this is Where Home Used to Be
And it was good to us
More than good to us

2) This was our place in the world
When life was new and untried
When every wild dream seemed possible
It felt good to be here
It was warm inside
I have to say, I’m amazed
Even though I learned long ago
That sometimes good things get thrown away
I wish right now that it wasn’t so

Chorus 2)
Those days are good and gone
Around here it’s plain enough
This is Where Home Used to Be
Where we lived and loved
We were only here for awhile
Then we got drawn away
This is Where Home Used to Be
And I pray that it’ll see a better day..

I’m sitting down on the ground
Time will change things around

Chorus:
But From Now Until Then
It’s through the fire yet again
Trying to make it to the end
From Now Until Then

2) See that Guy? He looks happy
But who knows what is in his head
Who knows what he might be leaving unsaid
Maybe his heart is untroubled
He’s walking around without a care
Or maybe he’s got a dozen kinds of despair

So many ups and downs
Time can change things around

Bridge:
In a dream I had this morning
The telephone rang and Salvation came on the line
I hated to let go of
The dream I had this morning
When salvation came on the line
Just in time

Sitting down on the ground
I’m gonna change things around..

2) That night, I asked you to take a chance
You hooked me with one sweet glance before we’d even spoken
And we were caught up in something strong
“Til this morning we couldn’t go wrong
But now The Spell Is Broken

Bridge:
What will I do or say if I see you today
I’m mystified and kinda sad inside
All I wanted was you
My desire was true
But it’s all just gone
Blame it on the dawn...
(Gone with the dawn...)

3) I sure didn’t know that love would leave this way
And belong to yesterday like an old discarded token
That the fire in my heart would die...
Believe me, I don’t know why
I just know, The Spell Is Broken

2) As we passed through small quiet towns
Crossed miles of burning desert sands
And fields of green and gold
I began to see and understand
The wonders great and small that this world has to show
In a way I never had before
A Few Thousand Days Ago

Bridge 1)
I had made up my mind
It was time to let familiar things fall behind
I was glad to be all alone
In the middle of the wide unknown

3) Through lost empty towns
Across miles of burning desert sands
And fields of green and gold
I began to feel and understand
The wonders great and small that this world has to show
Like the promise in a new sunrise
A Few Thousand Days Ago

Bridge 2)
It set my heart and soul at ease
To hear the silence and the wind through the trees
I was glad to be all alone
In the middle of the wide unknown

2) And there she sat in her perfect hat
She had a way of dressing up like that
A buttoned-down blouse with a trim of lace
The delicate girl with the china face
Come the next morning I tried yet again to say goodbye
Through the days of April
On into May and June and then July
The time slipped by
Through May and June and then July

Chorus 1)
Well, it’s Long and Complicated
So Long and Complicated
I’m trying to know where the story’s gonna go
But it’s just not clear to see
When she smiles, my resolve is long gone
When I tried to tell her So Long
I had no words to say
Couldn’t walk away
My heart got the best of me

3) Things I say take me by surprise
I can’t stand to see tears in her eyes
She’s buzzing around fixing up the place
The delicate girl with the china face
It seem I can hardly keep my eyes away when she’s around
But with her emotions always on her sleeve
What kind of trouble have I found?
What kinds of trouble have I found?

Chorus 2)
Well it’s Long and Complicated
So Long and Complicated
It could take many years drying all those tears
Is that where I want to be?
Sometimes I want to be her protector
Then the next day I want to reject her
She’s alluring and fine
She said she was mine
My heart got the best of me

4) Standing at the altar
Watching the scene unfold before me now
Conflicting feelings tangling up my mind
Her sad dark eyes look into mine
Her sad dark eyes look deep into mine

2) Last night the stars were out for us
We took a ride on a downtown bus
I’ll bet anyone who was there could see
How I loved having you next to me
In you favorite clothes and perfume
I couldn’t help but think about you and me Alone In a Room

3) The sunlight on the violet wall
The radio playing down the hall
Believe these words I’m whispering
You’re such a warm delicious thing
And now, right now, love’s in bloom
Right now, it’s all about you and me Alone In a Room

Bridge)
Waiting for the light
As we made our way home late last night
Standing there with your hand holding mine
I wished that life could always feel this fine

4) In your favorite clothes and perfume
You make me dream about you and me Alone In a Room
