I would rather feel the hurt inside, yes I would darling, than know the emptiness that your heart must hide.

Sky of blackness and sorrow, sky of love, sky of tears. Sky of glory and sadness, sky of mercy, sky of fear.

Pessimism and optimism are slammed up against each other in my records, the tension between them is where it's all at, it's what lights the fire.

More than rich, more than famous, more than happy...I wanted to be great.

We said we'd walk together baby come what may.That come the twilight should we lose our way.If as we're walkin a hand should slip free,I'll wait for you And should I fall behind,Wait for me.

An unfulfilled life makes a hard man.

I got a house full of Rembrandts and priceless art, and all the little girls they wanna tear me apart.
