lyrics

I worked my way up to you
To pay my union dues
The pain you left I earned
I’d work the weekends too

I’d hold you not change for you
True but insane
The secret in my heart remains

Driving down lake avenue to the gambler’s I knew near the pier
Money down on 11 and like you it disappeared
When you told me that we were through
I hadn’t woken up just yet
What’s in a dream can still seem to be

You got my luck now baby
I need a lot more heart
You got my lock now baby to keep our love from falling apart

Fighting hand over fist
Made my life a mess
Deep down dead and alone
You rolled away that stone

The hearts pound on the battery
With you hands in my coat pockets
With a smile that says love never forgets

I yearned for you through the radio
Imagining you were listening too
I hid my love in that song
Who was I too prove it wrong

I’d drive around with nomadic hopes
Summer heat winter storms
Battered and bruised
I was healed by you
I felt you hands on my eyes and I knew

You got my luck now baby
I need a lot more heart
You got my luck now baby to keep our love from falling apart
We got our love to see
What might be

You said that diamonds are dust
Love wasn’t meant to rust
I wait in Carnival Town
To make our deal go down

I see you at the Midway
Your bright lights and loaded games
I don’t care if things are never the same

If I were honest with myself
If I don’t tell no one else
What good is love
What good am I
If like the rest I didn’t try
I’d search alone on the desert trail
If I knew your love was there
Laid on the ground
I was healed all around
I felt your hands on my eyes
And I knew
