[Overwhelming World]

Overwhelming world tied up in a knot
Anything you ask is everything I ve got
I can t let go
It s all you need
It s all I know

Tiny little girl wakens in the night
Was it just a dream, will she be alright
It s hard to say
There s so much more
Beyond her door

Hidden in the heart buried in the soul
Everybody s wondering if where they are going, they re going alone
Carried on the wind
Up above the stars alone
A spark from a fire ignited a long time ago

[Come Back]

Every single moment
Every waking hour
I can see your beauty
Like an open flower
Just like a flower

Won t you come back, come back to me
Won t you come back, come back to me
There with your head in your hands
I sware that you don t understand
That you and I were meant to be

I can feel you breathing
As you lay beside me
Nothing but a memory
That you can t deny me
You can t deny me

Every single moment
Every waking hour
I can feel your beauty
Like an open flower
Just like a flower

Won t you come back, come back to me
Won t you come back, come back to me

[Barstow]

Barstow, Barstow
Meet you in the morning
Barstow, Barstow
As the day is dawning

Sunrise out on the freeway in the morning
Meeting you as the day is dawning
Counting the minutes to go

Barstow (Barstow), Barstow
Showcase of the southland
Barstow (Barstow), Barstow
Living hand to mouth and

Somewhere on the horizon in the distance
Seeing you there with no resistance
Counting the seconds to go

Sunrise out on the freeway in the morning
Meeting you as the day is dawning
Counting the seconds to go
