mavis staples - impressionable lyrics
Loading...
can i wait when your mighty arms are all that’s holding me?
can i wait when everything is crashing down on me?
when life is too much to bear will i stay there?
i saved this dance for you. i wore my finest suit.
i cleaned myself up and i memorized all the moves.
oh how i long for this song to play forever and forever more.
through it’s duration i live, and you’re the melody that i live for.
but the song ends, and so plays the all too familiar last note
leading so gracefully into the song that only i wrote
whisked away, now holding onto a memory of the song i once knew.
complacent, yet remembering how i felt when i felt you.
i’m new. i’m frail. i’m fragile…
so impressionable, yet so hard to change.
change me!
