(FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, Meatloaf, bat out of hell 1)
     Reflections:
     Glowing embers of my cig light the lonely interior of my car, as my head lights illuminated the dark road. It reminds
     me of the dark rivers of my soul, and i don't wanna think about them. Flicking on the radio the music reaches my
     ears. The song filling my heart, the mememories flooding back to me. And i find myself singing along, in the empty
     car in the middle of no where. And for the hundreth time, i find myself missing you.

     "I was lost till you were found
     But I never know how far down
     I was falling
     Before I reached the bottom
     I was cold and you were fire
     And I never knew how the pyre
     Could be burning
     On the edge of the ice field."

     Sighing, i pause and your smile comes back to me. Warm like the sunlight i had given up, filling me with the heat of
     the daylight i would never see again. How could it have worked out? I mean you were you and i was, well i was
     and am a monster. Only the lonely wind of night sings a heart song for me.
     "And now the chilly California wind
     Is blowing down our bodies again
     And we're sinking deeper and deeper in the chilly California sand
     Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart
     And can't you see my faded Levis bursting apart
     And don't you hear me crying:
     "Oh Babe, don't go"
     And don't you hear me screaming
     "How was I to know?"
     I knew, i knew the cost, the price, what it ment to love you. To give my heart away to a modern cowboy, a rider
     of the open road. You didn't bust cattle, you wrestled men. Like gods gleming in the arena light, you battled them.
     And i sat and watched, battling deamons of my own.
     "I'm in the middle of nowhere
     Near the end of the line
     But there's a border to somewhere waiting
     And there's a tankful of time."
     I snort, time is all i have now. Eternity to ride alone, to live alone, to survive alone. How could i have given you
     up? How could i have chosen to do that? What i would give to...

     "Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day
     And take me to another land where I don't have to stay
     And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
     And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes
     Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through."
     The moon breaks through the clouds and i remember you standing there staring at me. Pain in your eyes, your
     tears ripping at my not beating heart. How could you understand? How could i leave you, when i loved you.
     Those tears, those sweet tears you cried for me.
     "For crying out loud
     You know I love you
     For crying out loud
     You know I love you
     For crying out loud
     You know I love you
     I was damned and you were saved
     And I never knew how enslaved
     I was kneeling
     In the chains of my master."
     I was and am a slave to my needs, my lifeforce, the blood. You were so free, you were saved, you live in the day.
     I dwell in the darkness, hunting like a beast, knowing only the bittersweet pain of still living.
     "I could laugh but you could cry
     And I never knew just how high
     I was flying
     Ah, with you right above me."
     You were and always will be my guardian angel. My child of light sent to torment this soul of darkness. You
     memory haunts me, your voice rings in my ears. Even though i swore i would stay away, i sit and watch you. You
     never know, and will never know.

     "For taking in the rain when I'm feeling so dry
     For giving me the answers when I'm asking you why
     My oh my
     For that I thank you."
     I thank you for every moment you gave me, every sigh, every whisper, every kiss, and every tear. Standing in the
     rain, the night i left, tears and rain mixing on your face. How could i explain it?
     "For taking and for giving and for playing the game
     For praying for my future in the days that remain
     Oh Lord
     For that I hold you."
     And i did hold you, each night till the tender waifs of dawn drove me away. I was weak compared to your
     strength and to your love. My heart aches in reflections of the way things used to be. And i ride the night alone on
     these deserted highways trying to find the courage to face you.
     You will shine like the brighest star in the sky, Vince told me so. Girls,woman scream your name each night in
     those packed arena's. But please never forget when i screamed yours, the two of us, tangled in the sheets. Your
     heart beating against my cold chest, warming me.
     "Ah, but most of all
     For crying out loud
     For that I love you
     When you're crying out loud
     You know I love you."
     But the one image will haunt me forever, you standing there soaking wet, crying for me. For crying out loud, you
     know i will always lover you Christian.
