I need some wisdom
I need some truth
I need some beauty
I need some proof
And in the meantime
I need a place to hide
If I had you babe I’d be satisfied
Went to the ocean
stood in the surf
I felt the water
I felt the earth
I head the angels
They couldnt be denied
If I had you babe
I’d be satisfied
Who’s gonna beleive me
I’m a broken down dog
But I can still snarl with the best
The train is leavin
We can catch it if we run
We can leave it all behind
This utter emptiness
You are the reason
That I was born
You are the answer
I’m lookin for
All of the others
Just stood around and lied
If I had you babe
I’d be satisfied
Ooooh yeah
awwwh yeah
Awwwh
