Changing Your Name Lyrics


I judged the distance
To where you ran your hand through your hair
You were startled for an instant , you said,
"take me home," and I paid the fare.And you laughed the laugh of the innocent
As the cab cut a path in the street
As the world swept by with it's violence
I thought of the shelter we'd find in the sheets
In the sheetsChorus
I never asked you for nothing like changing your name
I believed we had something here, but nothing ever came
Were you thrown by the language, by words that we said
When I told you I loved you
Did it get in the way? get in the way?You lit a candle,
Then you poured me a glass of port wine
I pulled the oven handle,
The air felt warm, the scent felt kindAnd your kiss could heal like medicine
There ain't nothing that it can't overcome
But I could not lean on this evidence,

For fear you'd take the cure and run.
You would run...ChorusCause love won't stop to
Think about the consequences
Turns a fool to stumbling
Over people's fences.And the moon cut a frown over windy town
But you smiled as you pulled down the shade
And we turned a corner onto holy ground
And got lost in the love we made, that we made...ChorusGet in the way...

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Ellis Paul (born Paul Plissey, January 14, 1965) is an American singer-songwriter and folk musician. Born in Aroostook County, Maine, Paul is a key figure in what has become known as the Boston school of songwriting, a literate, provocative and urbanely romantic folk-pop style that helped ignite the folk revival of the 1990s. His folk-pop music songs have appeared in movies and on television, and are said to bridge the gap between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger.
