When your heart is black and broken
And you need a helping hand
When you're so much in love
You don't know just how much you can stand

When your questions go un-answered
And the silence is killing you
Take my hand baby I'm your man
I've got loving enough for two

I built this thing for you oooh ooh oooh
Who can take you higher
Than twin peak mountain blue

There's no sure-fire set so-lutions
No shortcut through the trees
No breach in the wall
That they put there to keep you from me

As you're lying awake in this darkness
This everlasting night
Someday soon don't know where or when
You're gonna wake up and see the light
