Canyons - The Dirty Guv'nahs

Canyons Lyrics

her body shakin'
hits after midnight
everyone's fast asleep
she's on her knees
and feeling weaker than ever before
she's got that look in her eyes
she wants to be clean
she doesn't want for them to know
all the ugliness she's done and seen
i wish someone would help me
can you help me yeah
'cause i just want to be loved
it's all that i'm holding on to
oh i just want to be loved
it's all that i'm holding on to
he works his fingers
down to the bone
he's got emotion

but doesn't show it
and so he lives
in competition with everything
he's got those lies in his eyes
and tears on his cheeks
some children at home
he doesn't know
but he wants to, and he cries out please
i'm down in a canyon, in a canyon
and i just want to be loved
it's all that i'm holding on to
oh i just want to be loved
it's all that i'm holding on to
oh i just want to be loved
it's all that i'm holding on to
oh i just want to be loved
it's all that i'm holding on to
on to, on to, yeah
and we rise and we bow
and we learn ourselves in circles
and we keep our insights
all back down 'till we pray
at the bottom of it all
at the bottom of it all
at the bottom of it all
it's where you'll find hope
where you'll find hope
end
