My days were empty and I'd folded   My words were void of any style   Begged, broken, cheated, even stolen   Thought I'd jump this train and ride a while       You took my mind and blew it open    I hadn't even planned to stay    I'm left here tired and outspoken    Not knowing just what I should say      Everything that I touch turns to gold    I'm preaching happiness   As my happiness gets old   This house of plenty is all I've known    It confines me though    The way I love this world    It's a shame to ever have to go      It's been too much to get my hands in   Your red wing dreams have worn right through    For me there's no misunderstanding    And I always have believed in you       You took my mind and blew it open    I hadn't even planned to stay    I'm left here tired and outspoken   Not knowing just what to say
