Ellis Paul - Changing Your Name Lyrics
I judged the distanceTo where you ran your hand through your hairYou were startled for an instant , you said,Take me home, and I paid the fare.And you laughed the laugh of the innocentAs the cab cut a path in the streetAs the world swept by with its violenceI thought of the shelter wed find in the sheetsIn the sheetsChorusI never asked you for nothing like changing your nameI believed we had something here, but nothing ever cameWere you thrown by the language, by words that we saidWhen I told you I loved youDid it get in the way? get in the way?You lit a candle,Then you poured me a glass of port wineI pulled the oven handle,The air felt warm, the scent felt kindAnd your kiss could heal like medicineThere aint nothing that it cant overcomeBut I could not lean on this evidence,For fear youd take the cure and run.You would run...ChorusCause love wont stop toThink about the consequencesTurns a fool to stumblingOver peoples fences.And the moon cut a frown over windy townBut you smiled as you pulled down the shadeAnd we turned a corner onto holy groundAnd got lost in the love we made, that we made...ChorusGet in the way...
