Ten cans on rattlin pavement
Confetti scattered everywhere
She falls asleep in the seat beside me
Grass caught up in her hair
I don’t mind it, I keep drivin, flying on these wheels of steel
A bit anxious, a bit nervous
The moments all that we can feel
Chorus 1
If fall is the soul of the engine
And wine is the drink of the Gods
Forgiveness the road to redemption
Faith can still beat the odds
We’re meant to be baby hold onto me
You’ll never not be my girl
Cause love is the heart of the world
I leave him sleepin as I rise early
Always up before the dawn
The house is dark, but I see clearly
Kettle sings a morning song
The bacons frying, babies crying
I soak up the sights and sounds
Minutes turn to days and I wish that I could slow it down
Chorus 2
If grease is the soul of the kitchen
And coffee the drink of the Gods
Routine to perfect to mention
Time is a thief I would rob
We’re meant to be baby hold onto me
I’ll never not be your girl
Cause love is the heart of the world
Ohh, and hope is soul of the dreamer
And heaven is the home of my God
It only takes one true believer
To believe you can still beat the odds
We’re meant to be baby hold onto me
You’ll never not be my girl(I’ll never not be your girl)
Cause love is the heart, love is the heart,
Love is the heart of the world
I do love the new Lady A album… this song hits home for me in many ways, hits deep in my heart, because there is safety in some routine as much as I cherish the new and interesting experiences in life, there is a comfort in waking with my love by my side, with the routine of making coffee, cooking breakfast, taking out trash, doing those things that we all have to do sometimes and holding close the way we work together to get it done… whether it’s two or five munchkins running around, we work together, make it happen, love each other all through it, share the smiles, touches, kisses, laughter of living our life and love together… and in the routine there is some comfort, there is a safety, there is a reassurance that I will be yours, that you will be mine…
For me, laughter is the sound of happiness, smiles are the light in the day, her kiss is the air I can’t breath without, her touch is the strength I require…
Love is the heart of the world, the one we all wish we could live in, and I’m lucky enough to be able to say I have a woman who is part of my life, who has let me become part of her life, and she shows me every day, in spite of my faults, her faults, our mistakes, what we have is beyond all of that silliness, we have what dreams are made of… we have a happy ever after, no matter what, a chance to live on our cloud… because we took a chance and found our happy ever after…
