What Are The Lyrics For Only the Song Survives By John Hiatt?
I woke her up twice in the middle of the night
To ask what her name is and where she might live To ask how many fingers she saw in this light To ask if she might know what gives She said we rolled that Camero like a cowboy cigarette Out on the highway in a puddle of beer That's just about how close to death you're gonna get Till the only thing standing is fear [Chorus:] Singing, oh darling, faces were changed The names of the innocent, the story at five Oh darling, faces get strange But only the song survives She said, "Now, don't you remember they put a patch on your eye? Like Dread Pirate Roberts, you looked so unplanned They cut off my wedding ring and you started to cry A one-eyed Niagara Falls man." [Chorus] I said, "But I never married" - I said with surprise "And is this the diamond you said that you lost? It was under my eyelids when they flushed out my eyes Hell, and I don't know what the thing cost." [Chorus x 2] But I woke up sweating to breakfast in bed And there were my children, and there was my wife Post-traumatic stress, of just a bump on the head Or maybe the ride of my life [Chorus x 2] |
