Lyrics:

Got drunk by myself last night
And they say that's no way to make things right
I just didn't have anything better to do
Well, the dog was asleep on the living room rug
And I watched a show about a crime and drugs
Punished a bottle of bourbon until it was through
[00:42.86]
I don't care that I can't sleep
Cause I'd just as soon stay up all week
I might get some things done while others dream
The heater broke and the room got cold
And my knees and ankles say I'm getting older
The phone finally rang but it wasn't for me

If everyone should be together
I guess no one would be alone
That's a lot of tradeoffs in the end
Somewhere in the fields of heaven
Proud souls laugh and love together
Some where between passion and losing friends
[01:27.55]
Sleep finally came but I woke up alone
And my head was next to the telephone
I gave the sun a cussing as I drew the shades
One thing that seems always true
When I'm hung over the sky is blue
A rough night for me makes a hell of a day
[02:10.88]
I believe in ghosts and democracy
And that each man should leave his legacy
That man's work great or be it small
But I don't believe in everything
Like the designated hitter, or that diamond rings
Can make love last for ever for one and all

Cause if everyone should be together
Why are so many left alone?
That's a lot of tradeoffs in the end
Cause somewhere in the fields of heaven
Proud souls laugh and love together
Somewhere between passion and losing friends
Somewhere between passion and losing friends

HIDDEN TRACK

There's people in your life
Who want you to be what they only dreamed to be
There's people in your life
Who put you down because you have a simple dream
They say you'll never be
Nothing but a ship without a sea

There's people in your eyes
Who walk through hell for you
'Cause you would do the same
You come face to face with Satan
And embrace with the flames

And those who have stood by me
Ever do I owe
For believing what I believe
From the deepest of my soul
To the highest of the mountains
To the deepest of the sea
How much that I thank you
Always being there for me

And to those who said 'Never'
Won't and don't try
Watch me as I spread my wings
And aim up for the sky
There is nothing you can't do
If you really want to live
For I believe if you do not dream
You never truly live

And to all of those who have this dream
Just the same as I
Don't let someone shoot you down
Let your future die
For when our ship is bound for shore
We'll be there by the sea
Waiting for our treasure chest of fantasies and dreams
Yeah, when our ship is bound for shore
We'll be there by the sea
Waiting for our treasure chest of fantasies and dreams
