Something has to make you run I don't know why I didn't come
Lonestar Where are you out tonight? This feeling I'm trying to fight It's dark and I think that I would give anything For you to shine down on me
How far you are I just don't know The distance I'm willing to go I pick up a stone that I cast to the sky Hoping for some kind of sign
If I were a painter I would paint my reverie If that's the only way for you to be with me
It never rains when you want it to You humble me, Lord
I can't hold on very long Forgive me, pretty baby, but I always take the long way home
I want to walk with you On a cloudy day In fields where the yellow grass grows knee high
I want to wake up with the rain Falling on a tin roof While I'm safe there in your arms So all I ask is for you To come away with me in the night Come away with me
I love the things that you've given meI cherish you my dear countryBut sometimes I don't understand the way we play
