Land of Canaan
---- -- ------

you can go to the east to find your inner hemisphere.
you say we're under the same sky; don't you realize,
its not that clear?  i'm not your promised land, i'm not
your promised one, i'm not the land of canaan,
sweetheart, waiting for you under the sun.

chorus: i'm lonely tonight, i'm missing you now, i'm
wanting your love, you're giving it out, i'm
lonely tonight . . .

well, the meaning's changed, for what it's worth, it's
just a senseless game.  well, i should think of love, but
it's fear, everything i hear your heartbeat strain.  it's
not the fallen man, it's not the call of time, it's just the
london skyline, sweetheart, telling me you're not mine.

chorus:
my blood is running dry, my skin is, my skin is growing
thin.  for everytime you find yourself, you loose a
little of me from within.  it's just a raging cycle, why
don't you bring it to the end of the line?  from inside
this existence, sweetheart, time is not on my side.

chorus:
