Sometimes I pray for a turn of the page

                if there's a chill on the air in the room.

                I hear small voices surface their rage

                but I'm hoping for a peace easy mood.



                Sometimes I ride on a heavenly cloud

                with the taste of your lips on mine.

                I don't want to be an angel myself

                but you're taking up all of my time.



                I know the feelings I've got them myself

                and we'll have to give them up in time.

                Someone hurt you and they hurt as well

                but you've got to stop losing my mind.



                If I'm not in love I know how it goes

                and I can't deny the past can be real.

                I'm not afraid for the work that we've done

                and I'll wait til your faith can be healed.



                Sometimes I see through your eyes and you're cold

                but I'm learning how to bring you up warm.

                I'm always willing to hear from your soul

                because the other man left your heart torn.



                I know there's times when it's so hard to see

                a heart on a limb in a forest of trees

                but I keep my vision, my eyes on the world

                I'm just saving a place for the other man's girl.



                Every night I can't breathe all alone

                since I've come to stay close to your side.

                The other forces we know how they go

                they're as soothing as oil at the time.



                Sometimes I wish for a miracle light

                and I wish that you'd let me come in.

                Sometimes I find that my thinking's not right

                and the truth is behind me again.



                But if I can revive the love that you hide

                I know your heart can make it again.

                I'm not beyond the bare truth in time

                and if it hurts me I'll understand.



                So if I'm not behind some hope in your mind

                there's a chance you're second guessing my best,

                cause I'm way beyond a mere compromise

                someday I've got to put it to rest.



                Sometimes I hope for the better or worse

                somehow I'd like it if there was a plan.

                but I'm still willing to wait out the curse

                because I'm nothing like the other man.



                Sometimes I feel that the caution's untrue

                sometimes I figure that I should rush in.

                But I know it's a game I could lose

                because I'm nothing like the other man.



                I know at times it's so hard to see

                a heart on a limb in a forest of trees

                but I keep my vision, my eyes on the world

                I'm just saving a place for the other man's girl.
