Patti Scialfa |
|
You promised me there'd be no denials |
|
When I was weak under your spell |
|
When I feel thirsty you would not let me |
|
Take water from your well |
|
Well big black road |
|
Big black river |
|
Big black heaven in the sky above |
|
I need someone |
|
I can talk to |
|
I need someone |
|
I can love |
|
So I went down to that valley |
|
To a boy that |
|
I once knew |
|
And he looked at me so tender |
|
Oh baby like you used to do |
|
Well big black road |
|
Big black river |
|
Big black heaven in the sky above |
|
I need someone |
|
I can talk to |
|
I need someone |
|
I can love |
|
So I crossed that river of temptation |
|
And I lay down in that young boys arms |
|
And there |
|
I claimed my destination |
|
Through this one last unforgiving harm |
|
Well big black road |
|
Big black river |
|
Big black heaven in the sky above |
|
I need someone |
|
I can talk to |
|
I need someone |
|
I can love |
