ryan adams - meadowlake street lyrics
there’s something about you
that reminds me of all those times
when i wasn’t sorry, when i wasn’t blue
the cherry moon it shone down on us
under the stars shining down every one for you
if i could count them all
i would circle the moon
and count ’em back to nothing
til i got to you
something in you dies, when it’s over
everybody cries sometimes
if loving you’s a dream
that’s not worth having
then why do i dream of you?
i used to be the house that you lived in
down on meadowlake street
when you moved they cut down the maple tree
i carved your name into
the tree became a boat, i christened it your name
and when the water turned to salt
from your tears it hit the bottom of the ocean
where i go when i hear your name
and i sink like a stone
something in you dies, when it’s over
everybody cries sometimes
if loving you’s a dream
that’s not worth having
then why do i dream of you?
why do i dream of you?
i feel like a dream that’s not worthhaving
like a nervous joke ain’t n-body laughing
like somebody with nothing ’cause they don’t know
what they’re wanting
tiny like the sand in the cracks of drift wood
washed up on the sh-r- of an ocean of you
boats out on the horizon
made of the maple tree where we used to lie down
on meadowlake street counting the stars you and i
you and i
something in you dies when it’s over
everybody cries sometimes
if loving you’s a dream that’s not worth having
then why do i dream of you?
why do i dream of you?…
why?
