Cross to Bear
Vonda Shepard
You ran away with your conscience clear There was a red flag waving in my ear saying Stay away you've got something to fear Well why did I not choose to hear? Well I am through with suffering Gonna make better choices I don't need no wedding ring I can sing I can dance but I can't make this feeling cease Cause deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and We all got our cross to bear Our Star of David our dreadlocked hair And oh yeah baby I still care And if you need some help you know I'll always be there Well it's been a strange year you've been a very bad dog As my fire went out you'd put on another log But it was worth never having any peace And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and We all got our cross to bear Our Star of David our dreadlocked hair And oh yeah baby I still care And if you need some help you know I'll always still be there Some nights I thought I'd cry forever I'd wish him away and then I'd turn into a beggar But it was worth always scraping my knees And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease You know I wear my heart like a wrinkle on my sleeve And I've got this aching love that only you can relieve But I'm I'm not afraid to go down with a sinking friend I'm gonna live out my dreams even if they kill me in the end We all got our cross to bear Our Star of David our dreadlocked hair And oh yeah baby I still care And I still lo- - -ve you (x3)
