The heat of the sun
Was a little too much today
Love on the wing
Flew so high it just melted away

So sweet on the run
So little time to make you see
What can't be undone
Was maybe never meant to be

But sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins

The heat of the sun Was a little too much today Love on the wing Flew so high it just melted away So sweet on the run So little time to make you see What can't be undone Was maybe never meant to be

take me now, baby, here as i am
hold me close, try to understand
desire is hunger is the fire i breathe
love is a banquet on which we feed

come on now, try and understand
the way i feel when i'm in your hands
take my hand, come under cover
can't hurt you now (3x)

Pull the car off the road, pull me close turn the engine off
I feel the wind and your hands in my hair, yeah, you're talking soft
My red dress slipping, sticking to my skin tonight
Pull me down across the seat under you above the city lights

My hands must be tattooed all over y

Cannons roared, in the valley they thundered
While the guns lit up the night
Then it rained and both sides wondered
Who is wrong and who is right

On the wire like a ragged old scarecrow
Bloody hands and broken back
When they fire see him pirouette solo
Jump in time

Outside another yellow moon
Punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
I climb through the window and down the street
Shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
With all those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

You wave your hand

I found a picture of us when we were kids
We're out in a field behind where we used to live
I'm chasing you chasing him in a faraway dream
We're running in grass that's so tall, we can barely be seen

Come out with me, let's go back in time, let's drive
All of the years in b

Just had to call you
Knew you'd be home
Know that it's late
But there's something that you ought to know
You ought to know

Just gotta tell you
Know I been wrong
I guess what I gave you
Didn't last very long
But I hope you can hear me
Going out of my mind

Those times I waited for you seem so long ago
I wanted you far too much to ever let you go
You know I never got by, "I feel it too"
And I guess I never could stand to lose
It's such a pity to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Could I have loved someone like the on

I'm no angel, it's hard to hide,
Got a rebel mouth and a ticket to ride
I'm no angel, but I'm not so tough
The boys in the town are gonna treat you rough

They're all heroes in the darkness
When they talk in the street
They can make anything dirty
That's supposed to

Somewhere in a scrapbook
There's rose you gave to me
And a photograph that's torn in half
And all that's left is me

And happily ever after darlin'

Well that came after I was gone
They tell you that, you can't go back
Then why can't I go on

When I should be l

Talk to me sweet and low
Tell me how you love me so
Tell me I'm your flame and your fire
I pretend but I know
What you do and where you go
Boy you're not the only liar

How do I let you go
When loving you is all I know?

But I hold out a little bit longer
Tr

Sometimes I'd like to quit you
and find somebody who
Don't know me quite as well
Yeah like a gypsy she would be my jewel
Spend my days in her lovin' spell
But baby I fit you like a worn-out glove
You know I ain't going nowhere
There ain't nothing we can't rise above

I woke up this morning feeling lonely
There's so much my heart just does not understand
There were times nothing really mattered
Now i find i care to much
There's life in everything i touch
Look at what love has done to me
I'm not who i used to be
Everyhing is changin

My way my prayer and one good shoe
A book that I was halfway through
My train of thought my mother's ring
I'm good at losing things

My words my nerves all track of time
The shoulder of a friend of mine
The places where my hope still springs
I'm good at losing things

Now there's a place I go with a boy I know
We're together, gettin' better all the time
And there are words I say when we hide away
Makes him crazy, makes him love me all the time

And no one knows
How love goes
It's a mystery
But it's clear to me
And now

Lo

Make me a believer baby
I want to believe in the power of love
Make me a believer baby

Cuz I feel the strength of your love
Ooh yeah
Now now

I learned about love like a game you play
And when it dont mean nothing to you, you give it away
But that was nothing m

I took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge
The new graffiti says that lifes a bitch
And now I hear this bridge is falling down
Someone will steal it before it hits the ground
Now I wanna go out walking in my old neighborhood
Where I was just a little girl and life was good

I met a man who would be king
He had a dream to see forever
It was a promise in the dark
It was a promise we made together

I was a girl who would be queen
I didn't know the cost of freedom
It was a secret he would share
It was a word we both could believe in

It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton, and my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And Mama hollered out the back door: Y'all, remember to wipe your feet!
And then she said: I got so
