I'd walk the water to get back to you   And where I was complete   We found you scattered by the highway side   Too soon to be released      Gathered the pieces up and clean the places   Where you were undone   And washed the wreckage out, unfinished all the   Thoughts that we'd begun      I came to burn the sky   And tear away the beauty that it sows   If I could rape the day and find the things   I thought I'd always known      Leave it alone again tonight   Leave it alone again tonight   Leave it alone again tonight      I laid your arms out long untwisted there   And shaped what I could find   Unmade the most of it then left the rest   The parts unrecognized      My reconstruction was the only way   For one last look at you   I lost the sense of it   The absolution what we never knew      Leave it alone again tonight   Leave it alone again tonight      And it takes me back   From this place here   From this place here      I came to burn the sky   And tear away the beauty that it sows   If I could rape the day and find the things   I thought I'd always known      Leave it alone again tonight   Leave it alone again tonight   Leave it alone again tonight   Leave it alone again      And it takes me back   From this place here   From this place here   It takes me over      I'd be lost   In this place here   In this place here   It takes me on      Tonight leave it alone   Tonight leave it alone   Tonight leave it alone   Tonight leave it alone
