Pinch me, wont you pinch me?. I think Im stuck in some bad dream. Where all the things I thought I know. Theyre not quite what they seem. . Cause werent you the one who pleaded.
This thing is like the loch ness monster. People say it's somewhere down there. Know you'd like to believe it 'cause it's such a good story. But so far you have not seen hide nor hair.
Make it happy ever after. With all the love I've thrown away. Make some golden tomorrow. With everything I left today. . And you could make a mountain of excuses.
I love North Dakota. 'Cause you have never been there. And the days go on forever. And the towns all look the same. . And I can ride the back roads. And I can walk the main streets.
Came to a land where the morning don't wait for the break of day. Nighttime comes as a surprise. Picked myself up, took myself far, far away. Far away from a big hearted man who looks into my eyes, says.
Hail ya ho boys, let her go boys. Turn her head 'round into the weather. Hail ya ho boys, let her go boys. Sailing homeward to Mingalay. . What care we how wild the Minch is?.
I was born in the middle of an ice storm. On the longest night of the year. And that frozen rain on the old window pane. Was the first sound I ever did hear.
A little girl walked out one day and said woe is me. Things just aren't the way I thought they'd be. So please don't make me turn 30, don't make me turn 16.
Sleep you little soldier boy. With your ear against the wall. You have held that rifle all of your life. Now it's time to let it fall. . Sleep you little alibi.
Today I went flying in my favorite patch of sky. I circled and I circled above the world so high. And I thought to myself, what a lovely lovely thing.
You find me clenched and crumpled like a letter I wrote but never sent. You pull me up and shake me out. And now I can stand here and say just what I meant.
Look at how the twilights fading, all the night birds serenading. And Im helpless to that thin and hopeful tune, you know. The lightning bugs and the whiskey make tonight a little risky.
Babe, you always were a hurricane. The way that first you'd rage and then you'd rain. And all the calm there in your eye. Just felt like a lie, it always changed.
Here in the dark, I won't even make a spark. You're the only one who's never seen. The way I can light up in shades of gold and green. I'm just a little firefly, I want to shine for you but I'm too shy.
Your love is like too much sugar. Too much sugar me to eat. Nothing wrong with a little sugar. But too much sugar's too damn sweet. . Your love is like too much water.
Gravity don't work on me. The ground don't pull me down. I can jump any thing I come to. I do not need to come down. . Driving back from your house. It's first gear all the way home.
You live in your prison, the one that you choose. You'd do anything to have nothing to lose. And you got scared of escaping just a little too soon. You give up your shovel and dig with a spoon.
I have lived as a garden rose,. It is the only life I've known.. I've felt the touch of tending hands,. I get my rain from a watering can.. . Now from the time I was a seed,.
Here we go. . East of the mountains and west of the sea. My love lies weeping for me. Now I'm west of everything, I'm out here on my own. Weeping for the only love I've known.
How can I carve your name in the trunk of a tree. That'll be here long after we're gone?. I can't even write it in the steam on the mirror. And with nobody listening, not even myself.
