No More Illusions Lyrics - Patty Griffin

Here goes everything down to the wire 

I'm gonna sing like a canary on fire 

and the world won't stop, but maybe you will stay 

I apologize for rocking the boat 

But my heart gets caught on those lumps in my throat 

And these word just miss my lips somewhere along the way 

You and me, we got no more illusions 

wildcards or shadows of a doubt 

But the end ain't a foregone conclusion 

Oh baby can we live without illusions

Our long shadows cast here in the moonlight 

cross the lawn and fade from our sight 

and the world beyond is turning like a wheel 

Every step we take is out of the past. 

Everybody says "Darling, we won't last." 

But they don't know what we know or feel what we feel 

You and me, we got no more illusions 

wildcards or shadows of a doubt 

But the end ain't a foregone conclusion 

Oh baby can we live without illusions 

I can't pretend that the sparks are still flying 

or the ember is burning stronger 

At least by now I might be getting real good at trying 

Can we try a little longer? 

You and me, we got no more illusions 

wildcards or shadows of a doubt 

But the end ain't a foregone conclusion 

Oh baby can we live without illusions
