lyrics

Verse 1:
She burned soft rain and sage
Sitting by the stove
Count your many blessings
Learn to sip them slow
She said it doesn’t matter
Who you love and how strong
I’m a beast come to burden
Couldn’t come along, couldn’t come along
Money’s only nothing
And nothing’s only time
Head so full of wishes
Couldn’t hold a dime

Chorus 1
Ooooo are you sure you’re doing it right?
Heaven & Hell put up a big fight
But now it’s time to come home
Ooooo Getting closer to shore
You found what you’re looking for
It was there all along, it was there all along

Verse 2
Parables are pebbles
Glass is made of sand
Ice will melt and time will tell
But a man is a man
I knew I’d catch you bluffing
The smoke coming off of your skin
Bring me, baby, to your lips,
Thought we’d never win, thought we’d never win

Chorus 2
Ooooo are you sure you’re doing it right?
Heaven & Hell put up a big fight
But now it’s time to come home
Ooooo Find it, Say Amen
And you’ll do it all again
For the rest of your life, for the rest of your life

Solo


Verse 3
Pleasure is all we know here
Don’t speak the language of pain
Take your clothes off ready
To feel the pouring rain
Can you tell me truly
Why does she not sing?
If there is joy in life
Why don’t she sing? Why don’t she sing?

Chorus 3
Ooooo are you sure you’re doing it right?
Heaven & Hell put up a big fight
But now it’s time to come home
Ooooo Getting closer to shore
You found what you’re looking for
It was there all along, it was there all along

Chorus 4
Ooooo are you sure you’re doing it right?
Heaven & Hell put up a big fight
But now it’s time to come home
Ooooo Find it, Say Amen
And you’ll do it all again
For the rest of your life, for the rest of your life
