lyrics

I was standing at the crossroads, barefoot & bleeding too
When you came to seeing me, said "Who are you talking to?"
Does it even matter anyway what we felt at the end?
If what we had is gone for good and not coming back again

I was standing in the morning rolling, systems coming down
No one ever question what the sermon was all about
Well you remember anyway, so can we still be friends?
Or is what we had gone for good and never coming back again?

And now that it all was ending, spring was turning, too
I looked into your howling face and I could not see you
You know there's no river long enough that never bends
All rivers run to the sea and not come back again

the iron rod will strike the sinners and i will be one
you were all i needed but i wasnt what you want
it frightens me to know just how quickly love can end
when what we had is gone for good and not coming back again

When all the spells were empty and the trumpets surely played
There was no salvation anywhere, not a soul worthy to be saved
I came to you on my darkest night, a message for me to send
That what we had is gone for good and not coming back again

if the angels are cryin and the streets are full of mud
you will lay there dyin with your trombones full of blood
how long after disaster can a heart still mend?
take it all away and i will never come back again

So tell me what exactly happened one faithless afternoon
Could it be that I was wrong for looking after you?
I spite my face for a helping hand and you have one to lend
I took it all for granted so its not coming back again

In the evening of the empire, the arrows are in bloom
Your lone horseman is crying from the corner of my room
If I had known what you were after, I would've given in
But the evening sun is setting now and won't come back again

I'm living by the outlaws code, a road no man has known
There is no star to lead the way and point me back home
We're all born into temptation, damned to a life of sin
Is there anything for me to find when I come back again?

now all my dreams are falling and i'm layin in your bed
dreams of love we used to have is dancing in my head
don't tell her i've returned when i'm coming back in
what we had is gone for good and not coming back again
