The Hurt

I asked my Father once How do you know that girl's the one? What do you feel as life goes by Is it brighter? Am I high? He said to me, "My son The wind will whisper words of love The sky is blue and from above You'll know that's where she came from" You'll know that girl's the one You'll know you know that girl's the one Pa, she holds me so tight You hold me so close, love But do you know the worst, love? Tears and car rides hurt, love Running from our worst selves Have you felt the pain, love? The knowing they're not there, love The other end of your line Suddenly their own time Suddenly, alone time I cried to Mother once I yelled and screamed — my tongue a gun That girl she left me lying here Dead to rights — nowhere clear She said to me, "My son Perhaps the man who builds it all Must sit and watch the people flow Through the door all alone You'll know that girl's the one You'll know you know that girl's the one Pa, she holds me so tight You hold me so close, love But do you know the worst, love? Tears and car rides hurt, love Running from our worst selves Have you felt the pain, love? The knowing they're not there, love The other end of your line Suddenly their own time Suddenly, alone time Beauty sees what beauty does And loves the things that beauty loves Beauty be my enemy and weapon for the lucky ones Beauty sees what beauty does And loves the things that beauty loves Beauty be my enemy and weapon for the lucky ones You hold me so close, love But do you know the worst, love? Tears and car rides hurt, love Running from our worst selves Have you felt the pain, love? The knowing they're not there, love The other end of your line Suddenly their own time Suddenly, alone time
