"Throw A Match" lyrics
"Throw A Match"
Wouldn't I throw a match
Into your fireworks warehouse
To learn what man regards as evil
God could care less about
Oh wouldn't I drop a fly
Into your bowl of guacamole
To learn that everything you know
Is just another story
Witness like a mountain
Absorb it as a sea
Steadfast like a forest
Begin again with me
I can still make you sad
I guess that's a good thing
But my life comes apart
Whenever you're missing
And I move back towards you
One beat at a time
Heartbreak again
With your hand in mine
Witness like a mountain
Absorb it as a sea
Steadfast like a forest
Begin again with me
Wouldn't I throw a rock
Through your childhood window
To get your attention
'Neath the flannel and the pillows
I'll let you know
You're a luminous beam
Scorching the heavens
Screaming out to me
Witness like a mountain
Absorb it as a sea
Steadfast like a forest
Begin again with me
Witness like a mountain
Absorb it as a sea
Steadfast like a forest
Begin again with me
Wouldn't I throw a match
Into your fireworks warehouse
To learn what man regards as evil
God could care less about

Guy Clark - "My Favorite Picture Of You" My favorite picture of you
Is the one where you're staring
Straight into the lens
It's just a Polaroid shot
Someone took on the spot
No beginning, no end
It's just a moment in time

Blue Rodeo - "Dark Angel" I met this girl
She was walking through one of my dreams
She kissed my eyes
And everything that she said
Made so much sense to me
That I still feel like I'm half asleep
My dark angel
