Shawn Colvin - If I Were Brave Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • All the happy couples on their way to new orleans
  • Reminding me of when we got along
  • Theyre only renting time and space to fill up with their dreams
  • And dreams are what theyll have when they have gone
  • How could it be that I was born without a clue to carry on
  • And still it is the same now I am older
  • Armed with just a will and then this love for singing songs
  • And minding less and less if I am colder
  • But I have this funny ache and its burning in my chest
  • And it spreads just like a fire inside my body
  • Is it something God left out in my spirit or my flesh
  • Would I be saved if I were brave and had a baby
  • It was never clear what would come but thats the risk and thats the test
  • And you were the only one so far to follow
  • And no one talks about when one might stop and need to rest
  • Or how long you sit alone before you stop looking back
  • Its like youre waiting for godot
  • And then you pick your sorry ass up off the street and
  • Go...
  • And what the hell is this? who made this bloody mess?
  • And someone always answers like a martyr
  • Is it something you should know, did you never do your best
  • Would you be saved if you were brave and just tried harder
  • So now I ride the ought one thirtyfive to new orleans
  • I float a mile above lifes toil and trouble
  • A thousand lonely lifetimes I still wait and then go on
  • A clown to entertain the happy couples
