In the medieval night. 'Twas love's design. And the sky was open. like a Valentine. All the lacy lights. Where wishes fall. And like Shakespeare's child.
Halfway 'round the planet. And the telephone won't do. I'm starin' up at midnight. But lookin' just for you. If you're aching in the starlight. And looking for me too.
I don't want to be the sole survivor. I don't want to close it down. I don't want to know what goes on between you. Whenever I ain't around. . I don't want to be the last to hear it.
(Rosanne Cash). . The old man is laughing tonight. He's young beyond his fears. But then the smile drops from his eyes. And we all wind up in tears. .
(Rosanne Cash). . You give me no reason to cry but I do. You tell me you don't tell me lies, is that true?. I can't stand your strange emotion. I don't like your meek devotion.
Don't want to be a star. I don't want to talk through glass. I don't want to check my appearance. In your eyes. . I don't need a million bucks. And baby, it don't take much.
I love you till I just can't feel. I need you till it makes me numb. We hang on a noose of subtle abuse. Like there's nothing to fear. . Livin' in the land of nightmares.
(Rosanne Cash). . The summer was the killer. Between our hearts and minds. Every day a drama. Dragging by in quarter time. . By summer it was over. I couldn't see it through.
If you want to keep a woman like me, you got to hold on. If you want to see how good it can be, baby, hold on. All my friends think that I'm a fool. I tell you something, honey, they're not that cool.
It's the right time, you know I feel fine tonight (I don't know why you don't want me). It's the right place, I've got my new face tonight (I don't know why you don't want me).
(Rosanne Cash). . I was a fool to say it was over. I was concerned with my pride. The words are crazy and fall out of place. From this heartache I can't hide.
