with you or without you

with you or without you i'm tired of wanderin'

tired of the echoes that i find

i've been thinkin' all the while

a lost and lonely child

i need your smile to see beyond my mind

and i need you for a pillow when it's dark outside

and i need you for a place to put my head

and i feel like i've been workin' hard standin' by my door

when i open it up the rain comes in instead

i can't love you like some holy man searchin' for his cross

i can't shrine you like an angel made of wood

i can't find you or confine you to the patterns that i weave

i would not tell your fortune if i could

oh

my worship it is wordless like some growin' tree

and like time it leaves no writin' on the wall

oh

with you i would answer you by stayin' by your side

without you i can't answer you at all

oh

my worship it is wordless like some growin' tree

and like time it leaves no writin' on the wall

oh

with you i would answer you by stayin' by your side

without you i can't answer you at all
