Just waiting 'round to die

She's backing me down, but I'm too afraid to cry

A gorgeous, reckless conscious being

She will strip all my love from me

My foolish kite begins to fly

With nothing left, I ain't got much to hide

I'm on my feet, let's seize the day

There she is, just hear me say

Lady, here I am

I have come to make my stand

I said lady, understand

This is where I take your hand

A new day shines, but I'm not on my feet

Just leave me to dry, I'm all soaked in defeat

Am I a fool for trying?

Was the hope I felt just lying?

Your wicked stare wears me dry

And all around me, the painted faces cry

The blue sky turns to dark above

Is it wrong to die for love?

Lady, here I am

I have come to make my stand

I said lady, understand

This is where I take your hand

I'm floating away

See the oceans turn the tides away

I'm floating away

Here without tomorrow or yesterday

A bruised and battered man

With a new fate-stricken plan

Show me a sign

That I can make it on my own any time

Lady, here I am

I have come to make my stand

I said lady, understand

This is where I take your hand
