Oh when the ship lists
And when the storm hits
I've got a death wish
And I'm making my waves
Well, I am a lonely wolf
Roaming the hillside
I howl for the moonlight
Yeah, I know my place
They say "when nobody loves you, you don't need to be saved"
Well, out on the highway
I head west til the sun fades
I can't stay awake
I only sleep til the dawn
There was this girl once
She ran off with my bad luck
Then she married my sadness
Now she sleeps with my pain
She says "when nobody loves you, you don't need to be saved"
And if you're running for the rails, then the devil won't spare y'a train
And it's a shame, she might want you but she never will need you
And anyways, if you stay, you could starve and she never will feed you
Better men will grin at your fate, laughing like dogs as you dig your grave
Singing "nobody loves you and you ain't gonna be saved"
So y'think I'm the weak one
When you got no-one
You learn fast and get strong
When y'head for the hills
You don't care what the man says
And you take all your chances
Because fear is a poor man's
Means to escape
They say "when nobody loves you, you don't need to be saved"
And if you're running for the rails, then the devil won't spare y'a train
And it's a shame, she might want you but she never will need you
And anyways, if you stay, you could starve and she never will feed you
Better men will grin at your fate, laughing like dogs as you dig your grave
Singing "nobody loves you and you ain't gonna be saved"
Oh when the ship lists
And when the storm hits
I've got a death wish
And I'm makin my waves

Holdin' Out for Somebody
03:43

Well you're holding out for somebody
Who'll give meaning to your dreams
Who'll steal you away on a midnight train
Like an old time movie scene
And you're stuck there at departures
Watching letters spin to new
And you're holdin' out for somebody
But they're not holdin' out for you
All your friends are getting married
Seems like every other day
There's blossom on the church path
And babies on the way
They say it's time to celebrate love
But your heart is some old fool
When you're holdin' out for somebody
And they're not holdin' out for you
Don't forget your Mama's lessons
How the bad ones waste your time
The Sad ones steal the light from you
And the good ones hard to find
Though the longer that you wait love
Maybe the more it will be true?
When you're holdin' out for somebody
Who's not holdin' out for you
It's the recklessness of living
to fall in love with something free
the very ones that cause the most pain
are the ones that we most need
So honey I think I understand now
What you've been going through
Whilst you've been holdin' out for somebody
I've been holdin' out for you
Whilst you've been holdin' out for somebody
I've been holdin' out for you
