Big Spoon (free) 04:35
She sat and she cried I will never find Someone to be, match to me And then one day, she moved away Said to me, if I stay then I will sink so far down Get eaten up by this small small town She arrived in the grey, the city’s lanes formed a maze And the cars they all went rushing down Into the heart of that great, great big town Don’t worry girl, he’ll be here soon Compare you to the moon And always be your big spoon They met, one rainy day And friendship started, there in the grey Until one most fated day She turned to him, just had to say You have the sweetest face and When I meet your gaze I am all ablaze and I go up and up and up and up and up They were married the other day She looked at him, he cupped her face And now they live in both those towns And life is up so much more than it is down

I want a horse, I want a dog I want a man and to find God I need some help so I can see The wicked living beautifully The other day I killed a fly And then I wrote a lullaby Does that make me a hypocrite To sing of life and then kill it? I am a sinner and I have sinned But I love this life I’m livin’ I was taught to be kind And always told to speak my mind But there are days when I find It’s damn hard to do both at the same time And when the Devil sits here next to me Her words lash out so viciously I have asked her time and time again Please find yourself another friend I am a sinner and I have sinned But I love this life I’m livin’ Yeah I love this life I’m livin’ Oh I love this life I’m livin’ And I’ve been told once, maybe twice Little girls should always be so nice I will try to be what you want me to But I guarantee, that there are days I will lash out at you When I look at the TV The newscaster she speaks to me She says he has died so you’ll be free And that’s when I wonder Was he ready? To die. Did he choose it or did I? There’s evil in this world I see And some of it it lives in me If God were here I hope He’d say You need the dark to see the light of day I am a sinner and I have sinned But I love this life I’m livin’ I am a sinner and I will sin For as long as I am livin’

Hey Mama, I am leaving, I’ve grown up can’t you see? I am a woman, my mind’s made up, won’t you please trust in me? I’ve been a lucky girl, and I’ve been raised well So as I turn in the night, raise my hand and I’m gone Please don’t cry, I won’t be gone long Oh Mama, I am leaving, but even as I go I am traveling back to the place I call home And I will phone you soon When I was little, just a young girl, you said this to me When you’re older, you’ve got to travel, there’s just so much to see I watch you climb so high, slide down the other side And I know in my heart, that some day you may fly And I will cry but you’ll go So Mama, I want to thank you, for all you’ve done for me As I travel across the skies and open seas I will hear your voice, as clear as it can be When I turn the wrong way, down some dark, shaded street I will heed you then So Mama, I am leaving, but even as I go I am traveling back to the place I call home And I will phone you soon
