Lyrics

One step up, two steps back Fighting off this heart attack The southern sky's got northern lights But they don't even seem so bright I won't go back there without you Pinch me i believe i'm dreaming Words take on a whole new meaning Pictures, they don't look the same I don't respond to my own name I won't go back there without you If i live to 90 years I couldn't cry this many tears As it is, i'm beyond blue And less and less i know is true And i won't go back there without you Bent over the stove at home I catch myself in the chrome I kind of recognize the face But someone's walking in my place My heart is full, full of space How'd i get here, where'd you go? Is there anything i know? The wind is stirring up the lake This constant dull and vicious ache Is something i may never shake It's a cooler night than usual So i pull out the winter wool The footsteps that i'd hoped were yours Keep stopping just outside the door And i won't go back there without you I got my friends, i make ends meet I got my dog who's awfully sweet I got my family, i'm not alone I just have to pick up the phone But i got no place to call my home As kids we laughed and screamed and yelled Chased each other, ran like hell The saddest things, the scariest Would vanish with a little kiss So take me to another day Wash me in the ocean's spray Let's talk about the things to do There's so much to look forward to But i won't go back there without you No i won't go back there without you I won't go back there without you Shawn pelton…drums Paul ossola…upright bass Duke levine…electric & baritone guitar Larry campbell…mandolin, fiddle Kenny white…acoustic guitar Marc cohn…harmony vocal
