What is it that you want from me,
What is it that you want from me,
Are you waiting for the tide to change?
Every day I pick up my shield and fight,
Keep battling the demons through the night,
Do you believe this is where I want to be?
Its like sailing in a paper boat, hoping not to drown,
And darlin don't you know . . . I'm going down . . .
What would you understand, when I been crying out for your love,
And its the sign of a suffering man when he's crying out for your touch,
Darling, theres only so much,
So much that this man can stand
Never thought I'd ever be a lonely man again,
Since the day you took my hand in your hand,
Never thought I’d feel the salty tears bitter down my face
But thru the time it takes us to realise,
Theres something deep that’s deeply wrong inside,
Don't leave me hanging on what you think you see
Its like I'm sailing in a paper boat, hoping not to drown,
And darling don't you know I'm going down,
But what would you understand,
When I been crying out for your love,
And its the sign of a suffering man, oh yes it is,
When he's crying out for your touch - oh darlin' ,
Theres only so much,
So much that this man can stand
Darling, theres only so much that this man can stand
