Cross To Bear Lyrics - Vonda Shepard

You ran away with your conscience clear 

There was a, a red flag waving in my ear saying 

"Stay away, you've got something to fear" 

Well why did I not choose to hear? 

Well I am through with suffering 

Gonna make better choices I don't need no wedding ring 

I can sing, I can dance but I can't make this feeling cease 

'Cause deep in my soul you left a permanent crease 

And we all got our cross to bear 

And our Star of David, our dread locked hair 

And oh yeah baby, I still care 

And if you need some help you know I'll always be there 

Well it's been a, a strange year, you've been a very bad dog 

As my fire went out, you'd put on another log 

But it was worth never having any peace 

And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease 

And we all got our cross to bear 

And our Star of David, our dread locked hair 

And oh yeah baby, I still care 

And if you need some help you know that I'll still be there 

Some nights I thought I'd cry forever 

I'd wish him away and then I'd turn into a beggar 

But it was worth always scraping my knees 

And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease 

You' were there 

You know I, I wear my heart like a wrinkle on my sleeve 

And I've got this aching love that only you can relieve 

But I'm, I'm not afraid to go down with a sinking friend 

Gonna live at my dreams even if they kill me in the end 

And we all got our cross to bear 

And our Star of David, our dread locked hair 

And oh yeah baby, I still care and I still love you
