Gone Baby Lyrics - The Crossing - Sophie B. Hawkins

Sleepy head wake up 

Wipe the whiskey from your eyes 

Turn and reach for me 

Get hit with a surprise 

My daddy didn't raise me 

To get knocked around by you 

Now all I have to show for love are eyes of black and blue 

So I'm gone where you will never find me 

Gone where I can start again 

Gonna leave this lunacy behind me 

Be my storie's heroine 

Hey your gonna say 

how crazy sorry you are 

But you can tell your pretty words 

to the dust of my car 

'Cause I'm gone where you will never find me 

Gone where I can start again 

Gonna leave this lunacy behind me 

Be my storie's heroine 

Goin' where the sun's on my back 

And my mind is in the wind 

Gonna take this dance 

Goin' to find a friend 

Hit me once, shame on you 

Shame on me if I wait for number two 

Ain't exactly what you had planned? 

Well you shoulda thought of that before you raised your hand 

Darlin' times have changed 

and a woman don't take her love in chains 

Gonna be as free as I wanna be 

Got my whole damn life in front of me 

Gone where you will never find me 

Gone where I can start again 

Gonna leave this lunacy behind me 

Be my storie's heroine 

Goin' where the sun's on my back 

And my mind is in the wind 

And I'm stronger than I've never been before
