Looking For Something Lyrics by Carrie Newcomer

The Bird or the Wing

0

There no black and white, no easy answer I've found
Only shades of gray on a gray on a gray background
It's got nothing to do with your spirit it's got everything to do with politics
It's got noting to do with love, its only power and who's wielding it
I really couldn't tell you, I really couldn't say
How love can hold you, love transforms you, love stops away
Love will fight like two cats in the alley, or slam the door in rage
Love shines like reason in the darkness, love turns the next page
But you say you love me and you've loved me all along
But how can I trust my heart when it's been so wrong
How can I believe this is not another near miss
How could I put my heart into your hands and take another risk

Chorus: I've been looking for some thing
Looking for something all my life
How restless how uneven the time has been until now
Though everything has brought me here, though I couldn't tell you how
We have been alone together, we've been separate and complete
But how it shivers and it trembles in the place we meet
But you say you love me and you've loved me along
How can I ever trust my heart cause it's been so wrong
How can I believe this is not another near miss
How can I put my love into you hands and take another risk

Chorus: I've been looking for some thing
Looking for something all my life
He said the one of you without any wrong could throw the first stone
And they all got very quiet and they had to slip away home
He walked right over and picked up a stone, put it in her hand and said," There s no one here to judge you
Here and I understand
You've been looking for something looking for something all your life
