Dalbello Eleven Lyrics

Eleven Lyrics

i follow

 head over heels

 taunting me like a messiah

 says, "do you believe in me?"

 

 i see you

 call out for me

 the line between Truth and Desire

 crumbles so easily

 i count the seconds

 and the minutes seem like hours to me

 i count to seven

 and the heat turns up another degree

 i count eLeVeN for the

 reasons why it happened to me so easily

 i count eLeVeN

 eLeVeN

 

 "free me", she says, "heal me"

 eLeVeN

 i count eLeVeN when

 you offer me the length of your hand

 i count eLeVeN when you

 caution me to strengthen my stand

 i count eLeVeN when you

 say that you're an innocent man--

 oh spare me--baby--spare me

 ah did you ever

 stop to think about the need of a friend

 and go easy on me, easy?!

 i count eLeVeN when

 my patience hits a quarter to three

 i count eLeVeN

 in the name of what's important to me

 i count eLeVeN

 strikes for you, for not believing in me

 there ain't no heaven

 when a promise doesn't mean anything

 if all's forgiven

 i count eLeVeN--

 i count eLeVeN

 

 don't save my soul

 don't raise my hope

 then take it away

 don't make me whole

 don't saveth my soul

 just let me go

 to rise up from the sleep i'm deep in

 to walk out from

 the dream i breathed in....home....home

 

 one....two the colour of blue

 lightening strikes in a moment of truth

 three....four the night that i swore

 i got nothing to prove -- you got nothin--no more

 and if all's forgiven i count eLeVeN

 

 thou shall not take a woman in vain

 thou shall not take another woman

 thou shall not put a promise to shame

 thou shall not make a fool of no one

 i count eLeVeN

 thou shall not take a woman in vain

 thou shall not take another woman

 thou shall not shape a man into clay

 thou shall not go on unforgiven

 (i gotta count)

 one....two the colour of blue

 lightening strikes in a moment of truth

 (and then i go)

 three....four the night that i swore

 i got nothing to prove -- you got nothin no more

 six....seven is almost eLeVeN

 you broke a word not easily given

 eLeVeN

 all's forgiven when i count eLeVeN
