Lyrics:
to want me, but you didn't want to
But piece by piece, he collected me up
Off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah
Piece by piece, he filled
[Dialogue]
First they dropped the bomb
Then came the disease
Then death
This our world
Your world my world
I like this
When it comes to being true, at least true to me
One thing I found, one thing I found
Oh no you never let me down
Get up, I get down
Get up, I
Ounce by ounce, putting in together
Small amounts, adding up to make a work of art
First of all you need a good foundation
Otherwise it's risky from
conversations that
Basically said that welfare is the reason
Why a lot of black people
End up being Democrat they say –
You know first of all, it’s a limit
Oh, I, baby what a fool I am
First a boy and then a man, am I
And you, you're the heart of it all
You're the things I say and do
Am I wasting
go?
All by yourself.
(Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah.)
And now I'm standing on the corner.
Waiting in the rain,
But then in sunlight without
went by the name of Big Jim
He was outwardly bold but he wasn't too old
He wanted somethin' more than the championship gold
No he was fighting for
dream a dream
Together
When I saw you the first time, it was half past three
When your eyes met mine, it was eternity
By now we know the wave is
Daughter, don't give your love to the first man you see.
Just bide your time so your heart will be free to find the one,
Girl you don't have
you go?
All by yourself.
(Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah.)
And now I'm standing on the corner.
Waiting in the rain,
But then in sunlight
eat way too much
'Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me
Be that pastries or lobsters or love
I'm just tryin' to get by being quiet and shy
In
them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Want to feel your warmth upon me
I want to be the one
I
that you've never seen an angel?
Never felt the presence of one standing by?
No robe of white
No halo in site
Well you missed the most obvious thing
back at the moments, black and white
I wouldn't change a thing that changed my life
For the worse, for the better
Man, I was gone, gone forever
She
you
You see I knew right then, that this could last so long
I went home that night, I wrote my first love song
And as the days went by, I knew I had it
do, I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better, I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side, for ever and ever
Every little thing
of sight
Just one thing before you go
Just one thing that you've got to know
No one will ever touch me that way
The way that you did that very first day
no shame
The first thing I saw
As I walked through the door
Was a sign on the wall that read
It said you might never know
That I want you
I'll dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
Honey, you know
I've never lied to you
(repeat first verse and fade)
You've started back doing the things you used to do.
Pink in the mirror on top of the hill,
It's just like swallowin' up a medicine pill.
First thing
heart alone
Ever since I met you, baby, you have done me wrong
You walk by and you shake that thing and you know I'm not that strong
I wish you could
you
In my time
One thing I've learned
If you play with fire
You get burned
Oh, baby, it's true
I got burned by you
I put everything I had
Almost exactly a year ago
I came here for the very first time
Looking up at the Spanish window
From a trail on the edge of the timberline
