Bill Ward

Near a lake
Compelled, I made a start
The kind that comes when feeling torn apart
I darent believe it
Drained through holes, just like you and me
Past the words of insincerity
I darent believe it
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I just didnt want to believe it
But the truths let me in
Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
Lift me up
Lift me up
Take me down to where the calm is
Where my lies deny the light is
Lift me up
Lift me up
Past the years and years of feeding
My distortions and my bleeding
Cause I darent believe it
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I just didnt want to believe it
But the truths let me in
Truths let me in
Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
I said I darent believe it
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I just didnt want to believe it
But the truths let me in
Let me in yeh
Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
Growing up, I feared the boy
And who he was, I just ignored him
Weightless eyes, its come to this
I have to trust whats healthy for him
Oh dear, is that my tear
Growing up, I watched the boy
He turned to freedoms that could numb forever
Then a kiss, a final kiss
Gave closure to what was
In not one minute
Oh my, home from the big lie
An imminent clear passage
Sends a chill into my back
And whats more threatening now
Is that theres no way to turn back
I, friend of mine, friend of mine
Dont know what to say, time out, time out
Dont know where we can go from here, Love
Im friend of mine, friend of mine
Finally meeting you, time out, time out
Dont know where we go from here, love
OK
OK
When I was a child,
I heard you calling
When I was a child,
I took the heat
I heard you calling
But I couldnt stand up
On my two feet
And I kept watching you
I was watching you
And Id follow all the things
Youd have to do
Yes all the time
I kept hearing you
I was hearing you
And I really liked an awful lot of you
Most of the time
And now Ive learned
That when Im ready to trust
Ill let you know
I said when I feel like I am ready to trust
Ill let you know
