Believe You Me Lyrics - Allison Moorer

The cuckoo clock quit chirping 

The bird fell out and died 

Spent its whole life working 

And never learned to fly 

It ran out of time 

A man jumped in the river 

To wash away his sin 

In his religious fervor 

Forgot he couldn't swim 

No one saved his skin 

Believe you me 

I want to believe in you 

Believe you me 

I want to believe I do 

A woman works the corner 

Of Hollywood and Vine 

No one can afford her 

But we stand in line 

Cause her love is blind
