Jim Steinman - For Crying Out Loud lyrics

I was lost till you were found

But I never knew how far down

I was falling

Before I reached the bottom

I was cold and you were fire

And I never knew how the pyre

Could be burning

On the edge of the icefield

And now the chilly California wind

Is blowing down our bodies again

And we´re sinking deeper and deeper in the chilly California sand

Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart

And can´t you see my faded Levi´s

Bursting apart

And don´t you hear me crying:

"Oh Babe, don´t go"

And don´t you hear me screaming:

"How was I to know?"

I´m in the middle of nowhere

Near the end of the line

But there´s a border to somewhere waiting

And there´s a tank full of time

Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day

And take me to another land where I don´t have to stay

And I´m gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do

And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,

Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through

For crying out loud

You know I love you

For crying out loud

You know I love you

For crying out loud

You know I love you

I was damned and you were saved

And I never knew how enslaved

I was kneeling

In the chains of my master

I could laugh oh but you could cry

And I never knew just how high

I was flying

Oh, with you right above me

And now the chilly California wind

Oh is blowing down our bodies again

And we´re sinking deeper and deeper in the chilly California sand

Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart

And can´t you see my faded Levi´s

Bursting apart

And don´t you hear me crying:

"Oh Babe, don´t go"

And don´t you hear me screaming:

"Oh how was I to know?"

I´m in the middle of nowhere

Near the end of the line

But there´s a border to somewhere waiting

And there´s a tank full of time

Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day

And take me to another land where I don´t have to stay

And I´m gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do

And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,

Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through

For crying out loud

You know I love you

Oh or crying out loud

You know I love you

Oh for crying out loud

You know I love you

Ohhh for crying out loud

You know I love you

For taking in the rain when I´m feeling so dry

For giving me the answers when I´m asking you why

And my oh my

For that I thank you

For taking in the sun when I´m feeling so cold

For giving me a child when my body is old

And don´t you know

For that I need you

For coming to my room when you know I´m alone

For finding me a highway and for driving me home

And you gotta knowFor that I serve you

For pulling me away when I´m starting to fall

For revving me up when I´m starting to stall

And all in all

For that I want you

For taking and for giving and for playing the game

For prying for my future in the days that remain

Ohh LordFor that I hold you

Ah but most of all

For crying out loudFor that I love you

Ah but most of all

For crying out loudFor that I love you

When you´re crying out loud

You know I love you
