Too far from heaven - too far from home 
She's walking a thin line, walking alone 
Watching the sun set, watching it rise 
And nothing as dark as the light in her eyes 
She spoke to a stranger - I can't hear but I see 
That she has her own way of talking to me 
The flame that she carries 
Burns when she's gone 
But there's nothing as cold as the ground 
On my knees 

Oh, oh, oh, on my knees 

Tell me a secret - did it happen to you ? 
Did you give it away ? Did it hurt you too ? 
Passion comes quickly 
And dies in it's sleep 
But nightmares are devils you meet 
On your knees 

Oh, oh, oh, on my knees 

Who heard the words you never speak ? 
Who saw the dream that you used to see ? 
Can you reach down - or is it much too far - 
And touch your burning soul 
And touch me when I feel the cold 
On my knees 

Oh, oh, oh, on my knees
