A thousand years ago it tore my heart
When I closed my eyes
And you were never far
I’ll never tell you that you
Hold me in your hands
No, you’ll never know
Cause you could never understand
Yeah, indigo
Yeah, indigo
Oh, darling you’ll never know
I love you so
Yeah, indigo
Well, every now and then I say a prayer
Even though I know that I cannot compare
I’ll have to face it now, I know that it’s too late
And I’ll never hear the words
I desperately want to hear you say
Yeah, indigo
Yeah, indigo
Oh, darling you’ll never know
I love you so
Yeah, indigo
Oh, I feel like I’m contaminated
Holding him but loving you
You know it’s hanging over me
And glaring like an old tattoo
I tell myself that you were
Never something good for me
But it doesn’t stop the screaming for you
That goes on inside of me
Yeah, indigo
Yeah, indigo
Oh, darling you’ll never know
I love you so
Yeah, indigo

I’ve been sitting and thinking and watching and hoping
But now I’ve really had enough
You’ve been sinking into concrete quicksand
How could you still be oblivious?
Hold out your hands and close your eyes
I’d like to give you something
Will you guard it with your life?
No no no no, this is not a game
We treat the Earth like one another
This is such a shame
With no apology we’ve been
Breaking nature’s rules
It’s a vicious cycle, this is cruel and unusual
I noticed that your front yard
Looks really, really nice
How many chemicals did you have to use
To make your little paradise?
This is really quite an impressive legacy
That you’re leaving behind
Can you look into a child’s eyes
And say it’s gonna be all right
And will you say
Hold out your hands and close your eyes
I’d like to give you something
Will you guard it with your life?
No no no no, this is not a game
We treat the Earth like one another
This is such a shame
With no apology we’ve been
Breaking nature’s rules
It’s a vicious cycle, this is cruel and unusual
I don’t want to settle for apathy
I don’t want to wait around for calamity
I don’t want to be a part of the insanity
I’m gonna stand up, stand up for humanity
Chorus
Hold out your hands and close your eyes
I’d like to give you something
Will you guard it with your life?

If you love me for my strengths
You have to accept my weaknesses too
And closing your eyes won’t do you any good
If you choose me for the good in my heart
You get the sinner in me too
And I wouldn’t change it even if I could
If I could break out of my skin
I would in a minute and then
I’d lie in your arms till the sun came up
And you could chalk it up to another lost love
I want to watch the world spin round
If I could ever get off of the ground
I could see everything from a different view
And I wouldn’t come down till I felt brand new
If you love me for my strengths
You have to accept my weaknesses too
And closing your eyes won’t do you any good
If you choose me for the good in my heart
You get the sinner in me too
And I wouldn’t change it even if I could
You say you want to get inside my mind
But you’re afraid of what you’ll find
Well my intentions are good and my heart is pure
And my soul is clean, though you’re never sure
The love runs in my veins
Like a sweet soft summer rain
And I want you to know that when you are near
The rhythm is true, everything is clear
If you love me for my strengths
You have to accept my weaknesses too
And closing your eyes won’t do you any good
If you choose me for the good in my heart
You get the sinner in me too
And I wouldn’t change it even if I could
Oh, oh, oh
It’s never goodbye
Yeah
I guess I’ll see you in my dreams

I’ll take a train
Down those rusty railroad tracks
I’ll take a train
Lord knows I ain’t ever coming back
It’s been so long since
My baby’s been gone
I won’t play the fool
Baby that ain’t me anymore, anymore
I won’t play the fool
This time I’m leaving for sure
It’s been so long since
My baby’s been gone
Oh, oh, oh
I’m packing a bag
And leaving the rest behind
I’m packing a bag
I’ve got Chicago on my mind
It’s been so long since
My baby’s been gone
Oh, oh, oh
Don’t even know what I’m waiting for anymore
It’s getting cold and I’m closing the door
I know that he’s gonna find if he comes back now
That he’ll be sitting alone in a quiet house
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, it’s been so long
