It's hard to know, harder to accept, The pain that we've caused And to see, for all our regret, We'll never ease the loss Night falls, memory returns; I trace each hour that's passed Forsaken loves call my name and claim me As their own at last I need a world that's turning, I need a world that's burning, I need a world not fade away I threw my troubles overboard, They sank beneath the waves Somewhere forever, far from the shore, They're sleeping in their grave Can't stand a surprise - I've seen the world through your eyes - I learned to live with the beast My heart's exploding and I'm expecting less; There's a fix on me in the east I need a world that's turning, I need a world that's burning, I need a world not fade away The phone rings twice, I pick it up; He says "Is she there now?" "Who's this?" I ask, he says "I think you know..." I hang up - she's gone anyhow. Outside the air is sweet, the water so still, Honeysuckle's on the vine People say there's a heaven somewhere - I know I'll make it mine I need a world that's turning, I need a world that's burning, I need a world not fade away
