Changing Your Name — текст песни (Ellis Paul)

I judged the distance

To where you ran your hand through your hair

You were startled for an instant , you said,

"take me home," and I paid the fare.





And you laughed the laugh of the innocent

As the cab cut a path in the street

As the world swept by with its violence

I thought of the shelter wed find in the sheets

In the sheets



Chorus

I never asked you for nothing like changing your name

I believed we had something here, but nothing ever came

Were you thrown by the language, by words that we said

When I told you I loved you

Did it get in the way? get in the way?



You lit a candle,

Then you poured me a glass of port wine

I pulled the oven handle,

The air felt warm, the scent felt kind



And your kiss could heal like medicine

There aint nothing that it cant overcome

But I could not lean on this evidence,

For fear youd take the cure and run.

You would run...



Chorus



Cause love wont stop to

Think about the consequences

Turns a fool to stumbling

Over peoples fences.



And the moon cut a frown over windy town

But you smiled as you pulled down the shade

And we turned a corner onto holy ground

And got lost in the love we made, that we made...



Chorus



Get in the way...
