One for the Road

I've been away for a while, and I know how its been It's hard to find a lover in this world of sin And I hope you'll find what your looking for I'm sorry I've not been there, I've been taking blows This world is though to live in and we both know it And I hope you'll find healing from all the pain And it's hard to stay soft In a world that's cold and hopeless But I pray that your heart Will stay pure and open This ain't no ordinary fairy-tale, baby We live and we learn that trust is earned And some days everything within us Wants the world to see us and to see what we've become But we play for an audience of one I wish that I could tell you I've been standing strong Always trusted fathers and known where I belong But I hide at the very thought of getting hurt So what I'm here to tell you is this simple truth Every time in life when I thought I was gonna lose He has found his way back to me And it's hard to stay soft In a world that's cold and hopeless But your heart is your treasure So please keep it open This ain't no ordinary fairy-tale, baby We live and we learn that trust is earned And some days everything within us Wants the world to see us and to see what we've become But we play for an audience of one This ain't no ordinary fairy-tale, baby We live and we learn that trust is earned And some days everything within us Wants the world to see us and to see what we've become But we play for an audience of one And He stands during the applause every time
