DmIt's like there's a straight way you A#know, you knowDm  
I've told you before it's as thin as Gmice
As thin as the razor snow
Don't freeze in the snow
Don't bake in the heat
I'll be your breath
There's a Dmplace where Fwe can GmmeetGm  
There's a place where we can meet
There's a place where we can meet
Use me
Don't sleep in the subway
Don't sleep in the pouring rain
By my voice in my midnight meditation
When I wake, be my heart's floatation
Come and fill, come and fill from the overflow
Come and play, come and play be like a bird
Don't sleep in the subway
I'm needing you well - I
I feel you, you're closing down yeah
Get close, talk right through me
Get close, keep tight with me
If you fall now it could be forever
I'm telling you the line is thin now
I've told you before this hate is a sin
Empty out for the overflow
Let love begin
There's a place where we can meet
