A FIX BACK EAST

It's hard to know, harder to accept
All the pain we've caused
And to see for all our regret
We'll never ease the loss

Night falls, memory returns
I trace each hour that's passed
Forsaken loves call my name and claim me
As their own at last

I need a world that's turning
I need a world that's burning
I need a world not fade away

I threw my troubles overboard
They sank beneath the waves
Somewhere forever, far from the shore
They're sleeping in their grave

Can't stand a surprise
I seen the world through your eyes
I learned to live with the beast
My heart's exploding, I'm expecting less
There's a fix on me in the east

I need a world that's turning
I need a world that's burning
I need a world not fade away

The phone rings twice, I pick it up
He says "Is she there now?"
"Who's this?" I ask
He says "I think you know..."
I hang up - she's gone anyhow

Outside the air is sweet, the water's so still
Honeysuckle's on the vine
People say there's a heaven somewhere
I know I'll make it mine

I need a world that's turning
I need a world that's burning
I need a world not fade away
