Jay Johnson - Love In The Wasteland
lyrics
Love in the Wasteland - Jay Johnson Copyright 1994, 2001, 2004

When Im standing cold and alone
On the top of the world on the edge of a stone
Will you catch me when I lay back my head and I fall, I fall?
When I believe that no one else is around
Will you run when I call?

When Im walking the wind in my face
Following my footsteps down an endless road to no place
Will you lead me when I cant seem to find my way, my way?
Will you take my trembling hand and pull me back in to the light of day?

CHORUS
Is that a candle that I see in your eyes or a funeral pyre?
Is it true love when it burns or the flames of an alcohol fire?
Yes Id love to take you home tonight.
In the morning we could handle it right
But the truth comes with the light of day
When my sleepy eyes will open just in time to catch you walking away.
Love in the wasteland
I dont understand.
Love in the wasteland.
For a woman and a man.

When Im lying alone in my bed
The sunlight through the window falls upon my aching head
Will you hold me when I dont need to be alone, alone?
Will you wrap your arms around me and heal this broken heart of stone?

CHORUS
