Tell Me One More Time

(album: Closer To The Bone - 2009)

Girl, I guess I've been forgiven
I've acquired a taste for living
Just when I was close to giving up the ghost

And I be what I believe
About as often as I can be
And I maybe can be oftener than most

And if the best I have to offer
Is the chances you'll be taking
With a heart that you'll be breaking if you lose

Well I can't tell you how to take it girl
I know you know the answers darling
Tell me one more time before you choose

Did you feel a little lightning
Did you feel a little thunder
That was barely running under your control
Was it just a little frightening
As you stared into the wonder
Of the deep and starry splendor of your soul

I won't be surprised to see you
Heading down the highway
Just like every dream
I never seen come true

Look for me to go on living
If you're loving me or leaving darling
Tell me one more time before you do

Did you feel a little lightning
Did you feel a little thunder
That was barely running under your control
Was it just a little frightening
When you stared into the wonder
Of the deep and starry splendor of your soul
