lyrics

woman I'm lonely in the night and I said something wrong
and I'm sad for a friend I couldn't stay with
who's probably dead now
oh woman I'm nobody for you
I'm strange and you'd do better with another man
but miracles do happen

and it's foolish for me to think about you the way you do
I know I'm only spinning tales to keep from going mad
with all the years and all the crazy loneliness

woman I barely know you
will you stay the way you are

why do we break so easily ooh
like bad china
why do we break so easily ooh

strumming on a tune and I don't know why
scuse me while I kiss the sky
trying to be good and I won't give up
till I drink from the Manna in the silver up

your eyes are light blind blue and wide open
and every time you speak you're kind
and you touched me
I remember

and I'm laughing again and I don't why
and I'm running and a-jumping and I don't know why ooh

Strummin on a tune....
standing on the wheel that makes me free
and I don't care what you're telling me

Ooh it's all right
Ooh it's ok
gonna love you anyway
