(Dokken, Lynch)





We sold our sons and we sold our daughters

Pretty soon we'll sell our brothers

We took the gold, but the gold was water

I tried to save the world, but I failed her

     

     She cries the tears that I never left her

     I left them all behind

     You were sitting in your darkest hour

     Summer's gone



We tried to make the world so much better

We send our words in a pretty perfumed letter

You sit alone in your ivory towers

I'm just one person, I don't matter



     You tap the needle, and you went to heaven

     You left it all behind

     Now you're feeling oh so better



Chorus



     Too high to fly

     You should've seen me there (Yeah)

     Too high to fly, my baby

     But you were almost there



The sun shines down on my face

But you don't feel a thing (no, no, no)

The lines on the street, and the some rises

You looked too long for heaven, now you're blinded, baby



     Another morning sun

     Another day gone by

     The storm's coming

     With the pouring rain



Chorus 2



The storm comes with the pouring rain (Salvation)

The lines in the street, and the smoke rises

Wanderin' round for forty days, hope you find it



Chorus 3
