Lyrics
On My Hands And All
Words and music by Doug Yoel
I've given up on pretending I'm your
Innocent little boy
There's blood on the tracks and I've
Shamed my share of hearts
I've given up on giving out that
One way kind of love
I might steal a bit to get
Back what I had to start
The music plays
The dreamer lays
Awake her heart calling for mine
Still I crawl on my hands and all
I just hope I get there in time
All this time I've been starving with the
Money in my hand
The milk and honey beggars call I a fool
It's been so long since I've set my sights on that
Waterfall of love
Sliding down with out bounds and
Without rules
The song is done
The web is spun
Around her heart to bring it to mine
Still I fall on my hands and all
I don't know if I'll get up this time
Still I fall on my hands and all
I don't know if I'll get up this time
