Not Going Anywhere I'm really lost tonight I'm naked in the snowstorm, looking for a light the night sinks its teeth in me and the river I bleed will be the river that drowns me So promise me you're not going anywhere just let me sit here and stare at the face I've loved for so long please save me from all I've done wrong It's a grey sky tonight my heart's warming by the fire, your face bathed in light I can't believe you care for me but I believe you'll never decieve or ever cause me to grieve I promise you the same I'll always stay here, giving love and giving my heart to tame You can believe in a thing called me to never turn my back on you or leave you sad and blue Just promise me you're not going anywhere please let me sit here and stare at this face I've longed for all this time and could you save me from my mind Working overtime to find a little peace of mind sometimes I'd give it all up to be crazy in love but it's not always easy I swear but just tell me you're not going anywhere You're at the center of night I'm falling fast towards you, from this oh so great height the moon drinks a pint of me and the smile you smile is the reason I drive for miles I'm sending out my heart pressed a flower in the pages of my poetry and art the morning buries its light in me and the rain I'll weep will be the rain singing me to sleep So you can promise me you're not going anywhere and let me sit here and stare at this face I've dedicated in song let me know where the rhymes go wrong And I do promise you I'm not going anywhere just let me nest in your hair and see the view from up there you can let me feel you care We're good right here let's not go anywhere your reflection in the river, dear is the reason I stop and stare "The moon ain't romantic, it's intimidating as hell". -- Tom Waits, 'Bad Liver and a Broken Heart' |
