You may not know this but you are everything
You've ever needed
Heaven with a touch of New York
Silver with a touch of gold
And I can see where you're goin'
But I don't really know the way
It's got too many changes
Too much re-arranging
Too many ways to go a-stray
Chorus:
So if you wanna go let me go along
I'd never walk that road alone
I've hard it was hard
I've heard it was long
But we'll come back alive
Cause only the strong survive
You walk on a wire make a game of desire
Pitchin' pennies down a wishing well
You're leading the blind through their high and
Low times but baby can you lead yourself
So calm down honey forget about the money
If you need me I'll always be there
Go ride your white horse alone of course
Cause if you need me I'll always care
(Chorus)
(Outro)
