Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Quiet lonely day On a miracle's highway and traveling takes its toll The highway's windy road Didn't open up her soul the way I thought it would And I don't think that's good Guess I thought it would have been the best she'd seen The straw man's off the clock She's waiting for his knock in her underwear His foot falls on the stair She greets him with a glare that says he'll have to fall But with her back up against the wall She suddenly recalls the straw man's just her dream And it's never quite so clean She makes the world around me seem Lavender and wintergreen When we're side by side Now the straw man's been let loose My dreams have been reduced by a quest for fame Still the straw man feels no pain She realized in shame and then the game is back Then blue fades into black Time takes back the slack she had when just seventeen And it's never quite so clean I make the world around her seem Lavender and wintergreen When we're side by side Still a quiet lonely day On a miracle's highway and I am almost home Pick up the phone Say that living life alone ain't how the story ends Cause I am here to mend But how much can she bend till on my side she'll lean And it's never quite so clean She makes the world around me seem Lavender and wintergreen When we're side by side
