clifton jennings – the phoenix lyrics
[verse 1: clifton jennings]
crisp steps on a cold night
shadows dance in the firelight
born with the sharpest sword in my mouth
i’ve been training for this my entire life
pen scratches on blank paper
images arise from the ashes gl-sses
sweat with the perspiration
as if they knew how hard i was concentrating
it’s a cold world, it’s a cold world
when the wind blows
but love smolders in the darkest corners
and it always glows
it always glows, like it always knows
that the red hot coals of an older summer romance
never really grow cold
we just grow old…

[verse 2: clifton jennings]
once upon a time i believed in love
now i can barely believe in trust
so i hide my doubts behind my t–th
say cheese but never open up
i never open up
like a hard-sh-ll clam in the hand
of a beautiful girl that has your look…
but doesn’t have your touch
and the memories
are like friends that leave you in your time of need
when you can’t stand
that you can’t stand and you need a crutch
and there’s no way
i can say this plainly enough:
even though sometimes i don’t believe
in love, i still believe in us

one time for the honey
two times for the hive
three times for the bees buzzing…
buzzing

one hand in the
sky…
[verse 3: clifton jennings]
so how do you measure a life?
just look how brightly it shines
our love’s divided by the sum of our hearts
and the distance between your thighs
and i’m still walking that line
cuz love’s outside of time
with a pad and a pen and the love of my kin
and a head full of songs till we meet again
let these songs be your guide
let no one stop you from flying
there’s a million reasons and 4 seasons
where you could call it a night
but a line in the sand and the word of a man
can carry him his whole life
said a line in the sand and the word of a man
can carry him his whole life
