Hope Against Hope Lyrics - Rules Of Travel - Rosanne Cash

It's all coming back to me now. 

But try as I have to keep, 

The taste of you off of my tongue; 

Your face from my fitful sleep. 

An' I wait and hope against hope like before. 

An' I wait an' hope that I won't anymore. 

An' this won't stop till I do. 

Until I learn to kill the thought, 

Of everything I could have said: 

Of everything I wished I'd not.

An' I wait, hope against hope like before. 

An' I wait, hope that I won't anymore. 

Show rises up from the street, 

An' a crowd rises up to it's feet. 

I followed blind after you: 

I might know better if I'd ever wanted to. 

Instrumental Break. 

The painting here is still not dry, 

An' I can smell it from the door. 

It covers every mark you made: 

The countin' days are keepin' score.
