Charm Light Lyrics by Patti Scialfa

Rumble Doll

1993

[Verse 1]
You know I got a string of kisses tattooed down my arm
From the love of lonely men that always came to harm
Tattooed down my arm to my fingertips
You ain't the only lonely man that I've ever kissed
[Refrain]
But when the night is sinking low
Hold me baby, oh, and don't let go
[Chorus]
Baby, turn that charm light on me
Yeah, you turn all the wrong in my world right
When you turn that charm light on me
Make it so pretty
Make it all seem right
[Verse 2]
You know I saw those fallen crosses
Those broken stones of faith
Knew I could name the sorrow
That haunts the side of your face
Yeah I could name the sorrow
And somehow set you free
I knew you'd be the one
Who'd do the same for me
[Refrain]
For when the night is sinking low
Come on baby oh here we go
[Chorus]
'Cause when you turn
That charm light on me
Yeah, you turn all the wrong
In my world right
When you turn
That charm light on me
Make it so pretty
Make it all seem right
[Verse 3]
Now I know love ain't no fairy tale
Ain't so pretty or so pure
There's a train of unforgiveness
For things that came before
But I know who I am
And I wash myself clean
Of all that muddy water
And all those railroad dreams
[Refrain]
So when the night is sinking low
Come on baby oh here we go
[Chorus]
'Cause when you turn that charm light on me
Yeah, you turn all the wrong in my world right
When you turn that charm light on me
Make it so pretty
Make it all seem right
[Outro]
Turn the light on me
Turn the light on me now
Turn the light on me
Turn the light on me now
Turn the light on me
Turn the light on me now
Turn the light on me
