Joe by Jude Cole Lyrics

"Rain down mercy, for the lost and lonely child
For the liars and the losers, reckless in the wild
There's no use in pretending, I know I never fooled you
The deepest darkness I've ever known, it comes from living like I do
But I swear I'm gonna knock on that gate
Even if it's all in vain
I'll stand outside with my mouth wide open
And drink the pouring rain
I know there's some good left in this world
I've seen it shine in your eyes
Rain down salvation
And keep my faith alive

The harder we fall
The closer we come
To finding our hearts
And the damage we've done
Darling, I've held the devil's dirty hand
But holding you now, I know, is heaven's last attempt

Won't you walk beside me
You know I can't make it alone
The fields are dark, and the wind is hard
Hard as stone
Roll out the sky
Oh, let me come home. (come home)
(I wanna come home)
The harder we fall
The closer we come
To finding the light, the warmth of the sun
All that I've ever had
I've let slip through my hands
But holding you now
I know.......is heaven."
