Evolution lyrics

She Loved him like he was
The last man on earth
Gave him everything she ever had
And he'd break her spirit down
Then come lovin' up on her
Give a little, then take it back

She'd tell him 'bout her dreams
He'd just shoot 'em down
Lord, he loved to make her cry
"You're crazy for believin'
You'll never leave the ground"
He said, "Only angels know how to fly"

[chorus]

Every time I turn around
I run right into your pride
Sometimes I'm not so sure if I wanna
Know that guy, know that guy
'Cause you'ce got a rock hard head
Stubborn as a mule
Oh yeah, and by the way, I still love you

*~*Chorus*~*
Go on and be that way
Slam that door
Make a scene
Yell some more
Come on let's have it out
Have your say
'Cause with a love this strong
Baby it's okay

I used to live in a darkened room
Had a face of stone
And a heart of gloom
Lost my hope, I was so far gone
Cryin' all my tears
With the curtains drawn
I didn't know until my soul broke free
I've got these angels watching over me

CHORUS
Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
Everybody knows
That the sweetest thing that you'll ever see
In the whole wide world
Is a happy girl

Wondering, waiting
Restless for a sign
I thought you walked so slow
In my haste I left you behind
Caught in the pace of this madness
Searching for shelter I find
That here in my heart there's a refuge waiting
Here in my heart you just won't let me go
I could run away run away
But you stay here in my heart
Meaning, purpose
Got lost in pursuit of my dreams
I've been longing, aching

I don't want to see you
'Cause I don't want to feel you

Don't look so surprised
I told you that I'd say goodbye
If you couldn't just make up your mind
You keep saying love can wait
But I can't, and it's too late
This old heart has just run out of time

I don't want to see you
'Cause I don't want to feel you
I don't want a love that I can't win, baby
I don't want you to call

I don't wanna think
That you could be runnin' around
After all the love
That I have shown you
I won't knock on your door
I won't call to see if you're home
But I won't close my eyes
Love's a matter of trust
And I just want to believe in us
But last night in your kiss
I felt a lie on your lips
I won't knock on your door
I won't call to see if you're home
But I won't close my eyes

I'm puny short and little but I'm loud
I learned to do my singing walking 'long behind a plow
The singing teacher always passed me by
And so I learned to sing the only way I know how
Just rear back openup and let her fly

CHORUS
I'm little but I'm loud
I'm poor but I'm proud
I'm countrified an I don't care who knows it
I'm like a Banty Rooster in a big red rooster crowd

I'm keeping my calendar open
Even if it takes me years
'Til you figure out what your plan is
You figure out all of your fears
I don't wanna know anything about her
Or what you feel like you have to defend
But I've seen your situation
And the world she keeps you in

CHORUS
I'm keeping my distance
I'm keeping my distance
And I'll wait until my time is here
I'm keeping my distance

I am timeles, I am patient
Im beside you and above
Im the words when you need comfort
Im the feeling you call love

You say that you can take or leave me
You think right now that you dont need me
Someway, somehow young heart believe me
One day you will/ One day you will

You're a vessel
You're a temple
You're a journey just begun
You're a young one who is running
You are destined to find love

Here I go restless heart
Another lovely misadventure in the dark
All my friends who knew me when
Tell me not to wander down that road again
What they don't know
What they can't see
It's being on that road that makes me free
Some say I'm running
I know I'm falling
Back to you
The water's deep
Under the bridge
As I pass by our old house upon the ridge
All our sins have washed away

(Clint Black)
There's something out there left for you
But it's not me
We've reached a point of no return
it's only right I set you free

(Martina)
I know I'll have to turn away
But there's nowhere for my love to go
And there won't come a day
When I won't honor what we've vowed

CHORUS
But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart

If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes

you think I'm always making
something out of nothing
saying everything is ok
you've always got an answer
before i ask the question
...whatever you say

now we can change the subject
pretend i never brought it up
same old story anyway
later we can work it out
but right now you're talked out
....yeah whatever you say

*CHOURS*
i know you can hear me
but i'm not sure you're listening

From the day we met,
You made me forget.....all my fears.
Knew just what to say,
And you kissed away......all my tears.

I knew this time
I had finally found,
Someone to build my life around.
Be a lover and a friend,

After all my heart had put me through,
I knew that it was safe with you.
What we had would never end.
Wrong again.

Everybody swore,
They'd seen this before.
We'd be fine.

There's something out there left for you
But it's not me
We reached a point of no return it's only right
I set you free
I know I'll have to turn away
But there's nowhere for my love to go
And there won't come a day
When I won't honor what we vowed
But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart

Between the perfect world and the bottom line
Keeping love alive in these troubles times
It's a miracle in itself
And we know too well what that's about
Still we made it through, only God knows how
We must've had a little help
Must've been

Wild Angels, Wild Angels
Watching over you and me
Wild Angels, Wild Angels
Baby what else could it be

My heart's not ready for the rocking chair
I need somebody who really cares
So tired of livin' solitaire
Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love

Strip your heart and it starts to snow
Love is a high-wire act I know
Someday I'll find a net below

Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

I want arms that know how to rock me

With lipstick on his collar and a trace of cheap perfume
He undresses in the darkness and eases into bed
With her face turned to the other wall she pretends to be asleep
But it doesn't really matter 'cause there's nothin' to be said

He calls from work to tell her he's sorry about last night
If he uses all the right words she'll forgive him once again

People talking think I'm all right think I'm doing fine

Goin' through the motions of my life

Go to work now every mornin' yeah I play the part

And hide away the contents of my solemn heart
But when the sun goes down and the moon is high

I can't control the flood of all these tears inside

And if they only knew they'd be so surprised

I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise

You have worn a path
Right up to my heart
You come in for a while but you don't stay
And I've come to realize
That your promises are lies
To buy you time when you want to get away

You must think my heart has swingin' doors
The way that you keep comin' back and forth
I can feel it's getting close to closing time
And I won't be leavin' my heart open anymore

They drank their anniversary glass
A silent moment passed
Then they kissed
She knows there's something on his mind
He'll tell her in due time
What it is

He says "I've never built
Your mansion on a hill
Or warmed you in the Spanish sun
I simply blink my eye
And think as years fly by
Of all the things we've never done"

She smiles and takes his hand in hers

We came out west together with a common desire
The fever we had might-a set the west coast on fire
Two months later got a troublin' mind
'Cause my baby moved out and left me behind
And it's all right 'cause it's midnight and I got two more bottles of wine

Well, the way he left sure turned my head around
Seemed like over night he just up and put me down

I'm rolling out of Bakersfield
My own private hell on wheels
But this time I'm gone for good
I've never gone this far before
Beyond the slammin' of the back screen door
But you never loved me like you should

And there ain't no telling what I'll find
But I might as well move down the line
'Cause there's no comfort here in your zip code
I'd rather break down on the highway

Well, I was born full speed ahead
I was racin' time my mama said
I really covered some ground 'til you slowed me down
And took my life where angels fear to tread

Everywhere I go your hands are on the wheel
When everybody thinks they're mine
It takes a real man to take a backseat to a woman
But honey you've been drivin' all the time

Your love's so unconditional

I don't know what brought us here
Something in the stars said you and me
I don't know where this feeling comes from
Surely it was meant to be
For I have known you even in my dreams
My eyes are open, my heart can see

As sure as stars light the midnight sky
As sure as children wonder why
As sure as newborn babies cry
I was born to give my love to you
Born to give my love to you

The sky's been gray every day since I lost you
But I know the sun is shinin' somewhere...beyond the blue
My eyes were red when you said that we were through
But now I can see better days for me...just beyond the blue

Beyond the blue...on the other side of lonely
And it's only a matter of time...until I'm
Lookin' back and feelin' like I'm over you
