Eleven - Dalbello

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
