I was lost till you were found 
But I never know how far down 
I was falling 
Before I reached the bottom 

I was cold and you were fire 
And I never knew how the pyre
 Could be burning 
On the edge of the ice field

 And now the chilly California wind 
Is blowing down our bodies again 
And we're sinking deeper and deeper in the chilly California sand 
Oh I know you belong Inside my aching heart 
And can't you see my faded Levis Bursting apart 
And don't you hear me crying: "Oh Babe, don't go" 
And don't you hear me screaming "How was I to know?" 

I'm in the middle of nowhere 
Near the end of the line 
But there's a border to somewhere waiting 
And there's a tankful of time 
Oh give me just another moment To see the light of the day
 And take me to another land where I don't have to stay 
And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
 And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes 
Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through 

For crying out loud 
You know I love you
For crying out loud 
 You know I love you 
For crying out loud 
 You know I love you  

I was damned and you were saved 
And I never knew how enslaved 
I was kneeling In the chains 
of my master 

I could laugh but you could cry 
And I never knew just how high
 I was flying 
Ah, with you right above me 

And now the chilly California wind 
Is blowing down our bodies again 
And we're sinking deeper and deeper In the chilly California sand 
Oh I know you belong Inside my aching heart 
And can't you see my faded Levis Bursting apart 
And don't you hear me crying: "Oh Babe, don't go"
 And don't you hear me screaming "How was I to know?" 

I'm in the middle of nowhere 
Near the end of the line
 But there's a border to somewhere waiting 
And there's a tankful of time
 Oh give me just another moment To see the light of the day 
And take me to another land where I don't have to stay
 And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do 
And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes 
Open up the sky and let eh planet that I love shine through 

For crying out loud
 You know I love you
 For crying out loud
 You know I love you
 For crying out loud
 You know I love you

 For taking in the rain when I'm feeling so dry
 For giving me the answers when I'm asking you why
My oh my 
For that I thank you

 For taking in the sun when I feel so cold
 For giving me a child when my body is old
 And don't you know
For that I need you 

For coming to my room when you know I'm alone
 For finding me a highway and for driving me home 
And you got to know 
For that I serve you 

For pulling me away when I'm starting to fall
 For revving me up when I'm starting to stall
 And you got to know
 For that I want you 

For taking and for giving and for playing the game 
For praying for my future in the days that remain 
Oh Lord
 For that I hold you

 Ah, but most of all
 For crying out loud
 For that I love you
 Ah, but most of all
 For crying out loud
 For that I love you
 Ah, but most of all
 For crying out loud
 For that I love you

 When you're crying out loud 
You know I love you
