You Won't Find Me There Lyrics - 10,000 Maniacs

I'd like to know what makes you stay 

While your eyes still search for escape 

You think that I don't feel the cold, baby 

But I wait while confessions unfold 

You'll never make a living from reading minds 

Or from getting your direction from exit signs 

Look into your heart and you won't find me there 

You won't find me where you hide, baby 

And that makes us a matter of time 

Like trees exposed by fall, baby 

Time reveals it all 

You'll never make a living from reading minds 

Or from getting your direction from exit signs 

Look into your heart and you won't find me there 

Oh, uh huh 

Tell me you want to do everything but you're stuck up to your knees 

And I'm less likely pushed forward by ambition than a breeze 

But there's a flame that must be fanned, baby 

And it appears as a beckonin' hand 

Don't think 'cause you're not talking you're being kind 

You've been getting your direction from exit signs 

Look into your heart and you won't find me there 

You wont find me, huh, there 

You won't find, you won't find, you won't find me there 

Oh you won't find, you won't find, you won't find me there
