If I Gave You My Live

I fell in love with a voice in the midnight air,
 Gliding across the room she was studying me
 Such a simple thing to do
 The touch of her hand,
 A question
 If I gave you my life,
 Would you let it slip,
 Through your fingers like water in the dessert
 If I gave you my heart,
 In the deep of the night,
 Would you hold it like a candle giving you light
 Days fell away into years
 Sunset memories
 Standing on the edge of it all she was worrying me
 Such a typical thing to do
 The reach of her hand-
 Connection
 If I gave you my life,
 Would you let it slip,
 Through your fingers like water in the dessert
 If I gave you my heart,
 In the deep of the night,
 Would you hold it like a candle giving you light
 Life fell away from her voice in the midnight air
 Lying on the moonlit ground she was looking up at me
 Such a simple thing to do
 Just as simple as the way she fades away
 Open your eyes
 Close your ears
 Close your ears
 Open your eyes
 Listen to the words you see
 You are blind to what you hear
 Listen to the words you see
 Do not fear the truth beneath
 Reach for roots beneath the trees
 Listen to the words you seek
 Don't listen to a word they say
 Do NOT listen to a word you've heard
 Do not listen to a word you've heard
 People are people we live for our own
 Live how you think not by what you've been told
 I've been a fool
 I've been a fool
 Walking the line with both of my eyes shut
 And I'm begging you I'm begging you
 Don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard
 This world is full of strangers this world is full of 'hypocrites'
 Scratching for their winnings at least I am one to admit
 Born in a world relying on gold
 I've yet to find someone under control
 People are people and we live for our own
 Live how you think not by what you've been told
 Don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard
 Don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard
 The flag waves up above you for liberty and freedom
 And fighting for your nation killing a wive's daughter's husband's son and you're told that
 you're being attacked by terrorist invasions but over and over again it is you who points the gun
 Hey now don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen
 to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard.
