I have never felt this way before
Never saw the man I see
I could love you today
tearing all of my pride away
And when I knew I was through
you might whisk me away
I fell to the floor
I am the jailor
I am the prisoner
defenseless in your element
I could love you today
tearing all of my pride away
And when I knew I was through
you might whisk me away
Away from this starting place
I am standing
I am solitary
looking for a sign
I have destroyed my momma's handbook
I have vowed I will not whine
I work long and hard on the night shift
then I watch the poison television
I wait inside my warm bed
for my dream to overcome me
I could love you today
tearing all of my pride away
And when I knew I was through
you might whisk me away
Away from this starting place
I am standing
I am solitary
looking for a sign
I memorized my fathers face
and the room in which he died
The legacy that he left to me smacks of infidelity
I wait inside my warm bed
for my dream to overcome me
